Ok.... Fawcett Center it is. gost8, Do you wanna just meet at my house since it's on the way to the freeway and I'll follow you and help set up?

Edit:

I just re-read the first post of the thread and saw that you were planning on making brats. Well I have some special recipe brats that I was planning on making so don't make as many as you were planning on. Do we have a grill yet or maybe a portable stove? You're bringing a generator correct? What all do we still need? I can bring a 25'' TV. Let me know if there is anything else.

What the **** are you talking about asswipe? I know what's going on. We're trying to figure out where in the hell everyone wants to have the tailgate, but seeing as how there are only three people contributing anything to the conversation (me. gost8, and trslfan) it's kinda hard to get a feel for what everyone wants to do.


the above post was not one of my roid rages... I think I may have hurt FKA's feelings though :wink:

sorry sweetpea :lol:

I'm up for either location. What if everyone else gets there early to reserve tailgating spots? I'm sure we can get a spot, but if we did not have enough room for the large tailgater we have planned for the Fawcett, would the RV lot be a decent fallback option? I'm just wondering if the price will cause it to fill up slower... I have no idea.

Just throwing out some ideas.

Hopefully the game is not cancelled. I can see it now "If UofL-L didn't cancel on us and throw us off we would have beaten Ohio State!"

I just don't want to hear excuses! Plus I was planning on using the Texas Defense for my college fantasy football league, playing against UofL-L is guaranteed money on defensive points :biggrin:

Obviously not playing is going to hurt Texas from an experience in game situations standpoint, but do you Horns fans think that injury-wise it would be beneficial to have another week off?

No way you want this game cancelled, way too pumped for the season to start and all that jazz, but are there any big-name injuries (Shipley perhaps) that could use an extra week to heal?

will benefit from a cancellation: TE, OL, DL, DB
won't gain/lose from a cancellation: LB
will miss out on important experience:

- VY, regardless of how dramatic his improvement has been this offseason, needs game reps to solidify their inexperienced passing game.
- Selvin would benefit greatly from coming back against a welterweight, someone to gain confidence against and have less chance of getting smashed back to the hospital (as in will ULaLa's LBs or ours be a bigger risk for injury?)
- Shipley may still be gimpy on the 10th, but if he is ready now I would think playing some would be better than waiting.
- Their WRs need reps. They get praised by the coach for doing well catching the ball. They may be athletic, but they need experience to gain confidence and consistency as WRs.
- Special Teams, their kicker sounds ok, but he could use a warmup. Their coverage units clearly need as much practice as possible.

Thanks Jwins. That's basically what I was thinking...all the unproven commodities would be missing out if this game wasn't played. In the trenches and where they're solid would benefit from being a little more rested, but the WR's and RB's would hate to miss this game.

Oh, come now, don't get your panties in a wad...I'm sure people will come to your tailgate, and you can drink with them. Just for this response, I'll be at your little tailgate, and I'm gonna drink you under the table...again. :lol:

:cheers: :beer:

I am not even going to go over to another buckeye site, but can someone tell me where it is being reported that the game will not be played?

I thought the hurricane didn't have much affect on Lafyette? And I also seem to recall that the game is being played in Austin more than four days from now?

I think Lou-Laf needs the paycheck.

Good point... they could always use that paycheck towards the damage if they actually needed it. It is probably just another rumor, but there really isn't much else to discuss for 4 days.

Not just a rumor. Though far from a confirmed fact. Call it under consideration.
From Dallas Fort Worth paper....
Hurricane puts games in question

Hurricane Katrina's path of destruction apparently won't have a major effect on the opening of the college football season.

Baton Rouge, La., and Hattiesburg, Miss., two cities in the storm's swath as it came ashore Monday morning, are scheduled to host games this weekend. Both games are still on.

North Texas plays at LSU on Saturday, and Tulane plays at Southern Mississippi in a Conference USA game Sunday.

LSU's campus was closed Monday, and coach Les Miles cancelled practice. Most of Baton Rouge is without power, and any decision about Saturday's game won't be made until later in the week.

"A football game, obviously, takes a big back seat to something like a hurricane," North Texas coach Darrell Dickey said. "We'll deal with it however it unfolds. We'll operate under the assumption the game will be played, but that decision will be made by other people."

Tulane, which is based in New Orleans, evacuated most of its football team to Jackson, Miss., with an 11-hour bus ride Sunday. The team is staying at Jackson State University.

Hattiesburg, home to Southern Miss, is located about 70 miles north of the Gulf Coast.

"We've been in contact with both schools, but it's too early to tell about Sunday's game," C-USA spokesperson Russ Anderson said. "The fact that the game is in Hattiesburg instead of New Orleans, plus the fact that it's on a Sunday, gives us a better chance to get it played."

Tulane, which plays in the Louisiana Superdome, has its first home game scheduled for Sept. 17. The Superdome was a shelter of last resort for many New Orleans citizens and suffered significant damage to its roof from Katrina's winds.

The Sun Belt Conference, which has its headquarters in New Orleans, evacuated its offices to Jackson, Miss. Sun Belt member Louisiana-Monroe opens its season with a home game Thursday against Northwestern State.

The Arizona Republic reported that Arizona State officials were discussing contingency plays for the Sun Devils' Sept. 10 game at LSU. They were considering playing the game in Tempe, Ariz., instead of Baton Rouge.

However, it appears that even if Saturday's North Texas game is postponed, LSU's Tiger Stadium and the city will have recovered enough to play host to the Sun Devils.

Louisiana-Lafayette coach Rickey Bustle, whose team plays at second-ranked Texas on Saturday, said his team practiced Sunday and was scheduled to be off Monday.

"We were fortunate to be on the outer edge of it, and we just got some wind and rain," Bustle said. "We have a large number of players whose families are from the New Orleans area. Some of their families are here in Lafayette, and everyone has been concerned about the hurricane and the damage."

IN THE KNOW

Hurricane watch

The following Division I-A and I-AA games are scheduled this weekend in Louisiana, Mississippi or Alabama -- three states hit the hardest by Hurricane Katrina. As of Monday, none of the games had been postponed.
