Game postponed.....

[HogDawg]

This is stupid. We had no problem playing S. Miss last year in a tropical storm.

.....and we saw how that worked out for us.........

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.

TAMU did not want to delay this game. I've already had one Aggie fan this afternoon tell me that they really needed this "warm up" game before facing Florida next week.

I actually think this is much better for LA Tech. Now we get to open against a Houston team who is going thru much the same as TAMU: they have a new head coach and a new 1st year QB.

The weather for Shreveport on Thursday is now predicted to be an 80% chance of heavy rain with wind around 30 MPH.

I can't see how playing in that does anything but hurt our chances for victory. That is smashmouth weather, not Air Raid weather. On the flipside, I think it would have been better to catch Manziel early.

You never know.

How does everybody think this will work out for us on October 13? Will this turn out to be a good or bad thing? I'm kind of torn. Some say A&M will solidify and be REALLY good come 10/13. I still wish this game would have been Thursday.

Well hell, if we have that much power to demand movement of the game from a high and mighty SEC school and get it, then we're in a great position to be the next "IN" in SEC expansion.

Suck it up, dude. I'm ready for football too!

We are all... Just saying that the home team usually has the goods on what does and does not happen.

Not sure we are so high and mighty at this point..

Houston gets a warm up game against Texas State though, so they get to work some things out before playing us. They will get the first game jitters out of the way, and they will have a nice home crowd too. I don't think this helps Tech at all actually.

[HogDawg]

I have never heard of a school canceling a game because they thought their might be rain and high winds coming 2 days later. This is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen in my life. What a bunch of f*****g P*****s. We have played games during tropical storms before. Once at A&M and last year at Southern Miss i don't remember their being a rash of people dying on the roads from driving in the rain. Mickey Mouse.

Are you people insane? It's a FRICKIN HURRICANE..........(don't make me say it)......^%$%^%#!!!!

But, because it will be our first game, it won't be our second.

But, it's HOUSTON. It's not TX A&M. It's not LSU. Not Alabama. It's HOUSTON!!

[HogDawg]

Thank you.

I'm doing the best I can to control my "BB&B" temper, Sooner. But some of these folks would make a preacher cuss.....

It doesn't matter. A hurricane is an act of God. Playing football in a hurricane is an act of foolishness.

Postponing hurts us in the long run. Not that it hurts our chances of stomping the dog crap out of those pansies from College Station but we will be playing a 2-3 or maybe even a 1-4 Tx A/m team rather than getting the BCS Buster hype by beating them right off the bat. By the time Florida and SC is done with them they may be too beat-up to travel at all! We'll be ready come Oct 13th! Cooler weather-Sat game-Bring it! GO DAWGS!

[HogDawg]

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

Yeah we do. We have a 4-week stretch from OCT 20th thru Nov 10th, when we play Idaho, NMSU, UTSA and Texas St on back to back to back to back weekends. That's at least equivalent to 2 weeks off.

This makes for plus and minus for both sides. Tech has a chance to build some crazy good momentum going into Oct 13, and TAMU could be 3-2 and looking to play LSU. On the other hand, TAMU will have 5 games under Summlin's system. I still think it's a positive overall.
