Saturday’s football game between No. 3 LSU and North Texas is still scheduled as of now for 6 p.m. at Tiger Stadium.
North Texas Senior Associate Athletic Director Eric Capper said the North Texas athletic department has been in constant contact with LSU.
Capper said the Mean Green are scheduled to fly into Baton Rouge on Friday afternoon, but that could change depending on the aftermath of Hurricane Isaac.
If the game were to be moved, Capper said LSU would be the side to initiate rescheduling discussions.
“Any talks as far as canceling or rescheduling the game are premature at this point until we know exactly what’s happening or the extent of the storm’s impact,” Capper said. “As soon as LSU feels that step is warranted, we’ll cooperate with them and work something out. Both sides are in communication with each other, but we’re planning to play right now.”
The Tigers held practice today, but Les Miles’ radio show has been pushed back from Tuesday night to Thursday at 7 p.m. due to Hurricane Isaac.
The LSU volleyball team has moved this weekend’s Tiger Classic tournament from the PMAC to Rice University in Houston because of preparations for Hurricane Isaac.
LSU soccer coach Brian Lee said the Tigers haven’t made any plans to move Friday’s game at LSU Soccer Stadium against Stephen F. Austin yet.
“We practiced this morning, actually,” Lee said. “A few of the kids have headed to their houses for a couple days. We’re kind of giving everybody their individual choice.”
Lee said he’s been in constant communication with administrators at LSU as well as Stephen F. Austin.
“We’re going to wait until the storm passes and see where we’re at and make a decision then,” Lee said. “It’s going to depend on what the power situation is and what’s the condition of the field. The field drains well, but the forecast is for a massive amount of rain.”
