LSU vs Tennessee Rescheduled to 6:30pm Monday
Just announced via LSUSports.net, the game has been moved to Monday night at 6:30pm (CST), and will be televised by ESPN2.
The Southeastern Conference has determined the Tennessee at LSU football game, scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 24, has been moved to Monday, Sept. 26, Commissioner Mike Slive announced.The change in the date was caused by concerns about Hurricane Rita. The game will be played at 6:30 p.m. CT and televised by ESPN2 from Tiger Stadium on the LSU campus.
"After reviewing all of the information I felt this was the best decision for the game. The safety of our student-athletes, coaches and fans is our priority," said Slive. "I understand this puts a burden on LSU and its administration, however, the travel safety issues necessitate this decision."
I'd say that's a pretty good solution. There's no way Tennessee could safely fly into Baton Rouge on Saturday morning, since that's when Rita will be hitting the coast.
