If LSU can't play at home what are our options? I doubt LSU will come to Denton. There are no major facilities available in North Texas. Some facilities may be available in Houston, but will not prepared for game day. There are no corresponding bye dates for either team. Do they pay us out and we both go with one less game? Do we reschedule for a game on a weekday at LSU or a nearby venue to satisfy their homegame? Or, do they forfeit the game (never gonna happen) to us?

I think we play it one way or another on Sat-Mon in BR, in Houston, or in Denton; in that order. I suspect they don't want to be caught without that extra "win" when it comes down to national championship time, so I doubt that the game will be cancelled. Doesn't look like any reasonable way to make it up later, since the SEC Championship game is scheduled for December 1st.

I agree with Emmitt, just cancel it at this point. The whole weekend is already ruined anyways. My friends and I who were planning on going then going on to New Orleans aren't going to be able to do that now obviously. Even if it is clear and better people who left will be starting to come back and I just see the whole state as one big traffic jam mess.

Uh, why?

Gee, where to start?

-Starting a season, at home, with the momentum of a win hasn't happened in a long time.

-Beginning each season with your teeth kicked in gets old real quick.

-TSU is unattractive enough. Coming into that game with all of our "warts" still unknown (secondary, pass rush, do we have go-to back?) will do lots to sell people on at least giving us a peek. LSU will tell us NOTHING about our question marks, because it will all look like weaknesses.

-We are deluded if we think bad weather will "equalize" this game. What it will do is galvanized their team, their fans and their region because they (no pun) weathered the storm.

I could go on...travel plans that have been thrown into disarray, hotels that are by now overbooked, etc.

All good points, but I still want to see some football. Call me Chelfish.

I agree on most your points, but at this point I doubt the AD wants to lose the paycheck. And playing TSU wont give us a better picture of how good we are because we should dominate every aspect of the game. Plus, I'm going to the game if it kicks off as scheduled and I don't want to lose the experience of seeing a game in Death Valley.

My wife and I are goining to take a pass on driving to Baton Rouge Friday because we have no idea what damage we would run into. Still a lot of flooding in the area, especially a little east east of Tigerland. I would just as soon see game cancelled at this point and try to add another home game 12/1.

I don't think it's so much the condition of the stadium/weather as it is resources/logistics. There is always a Huge police presence around their stadium and traffic is very heavy. The police/highway patrol are busy with other things and probably will be for a few days. If they have it, I bet they discourage tailgating before and after the game like they did a few years ago in a similar situation.

      The Athletic on DFW Football recruiting

      Denton is a much a problem as the university. The want so much to be "little Austin" and embrace the weird, hippy culture which includes being critical of spending on athletics, doing away with the HC parade because it isn't "sustainable", the constant bickering over the evolution of Fry Street from a hippy/drug user hangout of the 60's with buildings painted with murals, etc. to what it is today, citizens complaining about the university developing the golf course property into an athletics' focused area and the citizens being so short sighted as to not supporting the school and its teams because it isn't cool. They fight UNT at every turn when a partnership would have greatly benefitted both. UNT has forever been the "organization" that drove the tax revenue in Denton, but the citizens continued to bite the hand that feeds it.

      I don't understand why you are here. Your university, as much, or more, than any other university, has contributed to the current situation and I will laugh when you all end up in the same boat as the rest because you won't be part of the "have's" when the break occurs. To the UT's, Bama's, Ohio State's, and Michigan's of the world, you all are just the snotty nosed kid with rich parents that is fun to bring along because you will pay for crap nobody else wants to.

      Spring transfer portal

      There are approximately zero reasons to recruit high school players. Let's use China Spring QB for example. He will come in and probably not play year 1. But all year he will eat our food, lift our weights, live in our dorm, attend our school. Then year 2 he might be the starter. Throw for perhaps 3k yards, 25ish TD 10ish INT. And those numbers might not even get us into a bowl game or conference contention. So, we basically just did everything for him with absolutely no ROI, ZERO. Nevertheless, that's enough for him to be relegated to the pros at Utah, or AZ, or Arkansas as a surefire backup making 150-200k a year over the next 3 years. What would keep him here? Do we have 150-200K to keep a P5 backup as our starter? Every year. Year after year after year? Do we even WANT to do that?

      Spring transfer portal

      Unless you know a kid can come in and contribute right away, what is the benefit of signing guys out of high school. I think this really hurts recruiting at that level. Why develop them for someone else? The only players that will use the red shirt year will be ones at big schools getting paid nice NIL deals to sit the bench as insurance. Going to have to be able to adapt quickly to the new landscape in college athletics.

      The Athletic on DFW Football recruiting

      UTSA has a better location than us given the fact they are the only football brand in a very large city. They pull better for their games when they are bad than we do when we are good. They have more donors than we do. They celebrate their accomplishments on the boardwalk with thousands of people. We celebrate ours on Twitter as our coaches depart.
