LSU Troy Postponed
Sep 5th, 2008 by gtull1
Yep, the LSU vs. Troy football game has been postponed to November 15 @ 7:00. Why? Because of this stupid Hurricane Gustav! It’s got us all screwed up in Baton Rouge. We still don’t have power at our house, and probably won’t for another week. So the LSU Troy game has been rescheduled to about 2 months from now. Here is what Alleva said in a press release about the canceled Troy LSU game:
“I want to thank Troy and their administration for allowing us to move this game. We are disappointed we couldn’t play the game but with the condition of Baton Rouge, the campus, we could not. There are a lot of logistics that factor into putting on a game. We were concerned with the safety of our fans. The state troopers have other things to worry about than a football game. They have a community to worry about that needs help. My first thought is thank God no one got hurt (on campus). You have to give credit to Governor (Bobby) Jindal for his organization and leadership during this time.”
“Due to the terrible storm, probably the worst in Baton Rouge history, we have been forced to reschedule the game with Troy to November 15. There were a lot of factors in that decision. First is safety. Tiger Stadium suffered a lot of damage. Windows were blown out. We have no power. We don’t know when power will be back on in the stadium. We have to check on the lighting and the scoreboard. It was a university decision and was made early this morning.”
Alec and I have been doing our best to be polite on here to other teams. We’ve tried to not get into name calling, or mentioning just how bad some of our opponents suck. But after seeing so many filthy comments and name calling on this post from you Troy fans, we’re going to tell you how it really is.
TROY- YOU ARE A JOKE! THIS IS A FREAKING SCRIMMAGE GAME FOR LSU! YOU DON’T EVEN BELONG ON THE SAME FIELD AS THE TIGERS! WHY IS LSU PLAYING YOU? BECAUSE WE NEED SOME EASY HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS TO BEAT UP ON EARLY IN THE SEASON TO WARM OUR TIGERS UP!
We feel better now. lol Geaux Tigers!
