Game postponed.....

[hammer]

I really hope it was a mutual argument when this decision was made, because if it was mainly TAMU wanting this, we should've demanded it be in Ruston.

I really doubt A&M had a thing to do with it being moved. This was La Tech all the way...not sure they wanted to play it.

[RhinoDawg]

Was an easier game to win when it was opening week.

Agreed

[Cool Hand Clyde]

I think it is a bit premature to postpone it...will the weather be worse than we played last year in Hattiesburg?

I think you can answer that as yes. It was uncertain until the day of what the storm was going to do. A group of us dove down fom Memphis the night before but another group stayed behind the next day because the weather was worse than predicted.

i didn't read through 3 pages of crying but my guess is they moved the game not really b/c it may or may not rain but it probably has more to do with the fact that the state needs to be prepared to handle evacuations from down south.

This was suppose to be my "evacuation" from power outages. They should have waited.

"Our primary concern was for the health and safety of the general public, students and fans of both institutions." Yet the game is still being held at Indy? But seriously, what is the health/safety concern? Travel to/from the game? Possible bad weather during the game? Fans/players catching a cold? The weather channel getting higher ratings that our game on the U? Health/safety concern is just a convenient way to conceal the real driver for postponement. It'd be interesting to know the real driver...

Hate to tell everyone I told you so, but I told you so.

Anyone could have seen this coming. I told everyone it would be postponed or moved and I was ridiculed for saying it. The problem on this board is everyone only listens to a few posters who run the place. This is better for Tech. Our schedule was top heavy as it is and we now will have two weeks to prepare for Houston. I live in Lake Charles which is over 200 miles away from the storm and we have 20 MPH winds today, gusting over 30. Our passing game would have been in big trouble so congratulations to the admin for recognizing that.

Don't try to reason jchaisson, people will only listen to the few posters who want to come compalin.

Saturday game, good weather, not the Thursday before labor day, good record, more marketing. Good decision. Again, told you so.

Awe, bless your heart. Do you need a little validation? Here you go:

Same here. I have no water/food stashed up because I was planning on heading north Wednesday/Thursday. Hope my power lasts for a while...

There are thousands of people that will be driving to this game from South Texas, SELA and SWLA. The weather is already bad down here. Either play it in the wind and the rain with thousands not able to attend or in danger if they do, or move it to a day when the weather will be better and there will be a lot more students in town. Not to mention, good weather favors us and we will have film on A&M. Two weeks to prepare for HOU, good move.

I know it's tough to be wrong, but don't take it out on me. It's going to be easy to find something else for you to complain about, don't worry.

[Champ967]

BUCK BUCK BWAAAACK !!!!

[parisdog]

Works out better for me. Now I can attend instead of a Thursday night game. And like some have said, a rain soaked, windy game favored the Ags.

[RhythmDawg]

Crap, this means our team doesn't get a week off between their first and last regular season games.

I never gave an opinion either way. It actually helps me better as a parent because now my 9 year old doesn't have to take his tests Friday on minimal sleep.

This makes the most sense. Those people aren't going to leave their families, homes, or business if there is flooding, power outages etc. The storm will affect the entire state and parts of Mississippi, Arkansas, and Texas. This is where the fans will be traveling.
