Hurricane Delta has strengthened to a Category 2 storm, and it is expected to reach Category 4 by the time it reaches the gulf. Weather projections forecast the storm is expected to make landfall in southeast Louisiana on Friday night or Saturday morning. An LSU official told The Advocate Tuesday morning that there are no updates as of yet regarding the Tigers' home game Saturday against Missouri, which is scheduled to begin 8 p.m. in Tiger Stadium. In an official statement, the LSU athletic department said they "are closely monitoring Hurricane Delta" and "are in close communication" with Southeastern Conference and Missouri officials "on contingency plans should they become necessary." "At this time, it is too early to make a determination on any impact the storm may have on Saturday's football game against Missouri," the statement continued. "The game remains scheduled for 8 p.m. CT on Saturday in Tiger Stadium. We will continue to update our fans throughout the week as more information becomes available."
The key to this game is shutting down Pitts and Toney. Very hard to do, but do it, and we should win.
About an hour ago I heard on the radio that Houston and Shreveport were possible sites if the game is moved.
I know that. I was just jerking Tiga's chain. He was probably serious when he said the game had been moved.
