    the Tigers can play a week after this hurricane. Life must go on.[/QUOTE]


    why am I always 2-3 days ahead of everyone else?

    I say something 1 day, get totally told off, then 2-3 days later, 4-5 of you think about it, and slowly agree, and get no heat...

    It's just not fair! :hihi: :hihi:

    Exactly. How could anyone walk by all these poor people and be happy or excited about a football game. I'm the biggest football fan around but now is not the time.

    You can't compare this with 9/11 because 9/11 didn't displace an ENTIRE city.

    Of course this is true concerning the physical impact on the campus. There may be serious logistical reasons why the game cannot be played at Tiger Stadium. I was referring to whether we should feel morally bad about playing a game after a disaster. I don't think we should. Getting on with things is part of the recovery. I agree with Giulianni on this one.

    We just heard that the LSU football indoor practice field has been used for additional hurricane refuge space. This morning they have set up a temporary outdoor staging operation in the parking lot south of the stadium where buses will be coming in. I'm also seeing fewer helicopters coming into Bernie Moore for the PMAC. Perhaps they are now able to start taking seriously ill evacuees directly to hospitals.

    Where did anyone get that there are 30,000 people in the PMAC. I've been in and out of the PMAC and Maddox fieldhouse all weekend and I'd be suprised if there are more than 3,000 people total. The PMAC is not a shelter, it is an emergency hospital. People who show up there and do not need medical attention are sent away to other shelters.

    As soon as they stop receiving a large number of new patients from N.O., everyone will be moved out of LSU.

    This was a horrible catastrophe, I have been able to speak with people straight off buses from N.O. and the conditions they were put through are hard to repeat.

    That being said, life must go on. We can sit and think about the victims of the hurricane all day and do nothing, or we can go out and volunteer and make things better, but otherwise we must get on with our lives.

    Count on Saturday Night in Death Valley next week.

    30k. C'mon. If somone wants to start a rumor start one that has legs. They only took slightly over 11k in the Astrodome before the Fire Marshall stepped in. These people are not sitting they need a place to lay down so all capacities change.

    You are correct I believe these people moved in the early part of the week.

    What about the base in Alex. How long would it take for it to be inhabitable.
