LSU-Troy game postponed until November

[IE]

LSU has postponed its football game against Troy after Hurricane Gustav rolled through Louisiana this week.

A person with direct knowledge of athletic scheduling at LSU told The Associated Press the Tigers' game versus the Trojans will be played Nov. 15. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team had not been formally notified yet.

LSU's football team met at the Tigers' on-campus training center Tuesday afternoon, then went ahead with practice.

Gustav caused some damage at Tiger Stadium, including broken glass and torn awnings over club seats. Debris littered the stands and playing field.

I live 1/2 mile from Tiger Stadium and still have no power. Despite what the national media is saying Gustav was the biggest storm to ever hit Baton Rouge. There are 4 hour long lines for gas, no electricity, few stores and restaurants open, its a real mess. Because the levees held up in New Orleans the media is playing it like everything is fine. Quite honestly Afganastan has better living conditions than Baton Rouge right now. Not sure how this will affect the Tigers the rest of the way but I can assure you some players families will be without power for half the season.
