No word on TV coverage as of now..

[AppAlum2003]

ESPN Radio just confirmed this as well!

[appfan2008]

wow i just heard it on the radio... i wonder what this will do to radio???

[AppAlum2003]

Does this hurt ASU? They're flying in today... is 10 AM enough time to rest up after a long flight?

Gosh, I don't think I've started drinking at 9:00 in the morning since college.

[appfan2008]

is it 10 am local or 10am eastern???

[APPStrongNC]

should be 10 local LSU. 11:00am here

[jonmac]

Gosh, I don't think I've started drinking at 9:00 in the morning since college.

Not a long flight at all. And they're already there. Shouldn't hurt a bit. Just hope it's still on TV and I can watch. Gonna have to jumble some plans.

[LacesOut]

This will benefit greatly the great team LSU!!

[LehighFan11]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....i'm going to the penn st game at noon and hoped to see most of the game at 5

[CSUBUCDAD]

Suspect this will not be the only game moved up or even cancelled along the gulf coast. If they are going to evacuate the reverse lanes they will have to do it Saturday night in order to have time to get everyone inland away from the coast.

That makes no sense. Gustav isn't predicted to make landfall until Tuesday

[MSU_77]

That makes no sense. Gustav isn't predicted to make landfall until Tuesday

It takes at least two whole days to evacuate the whole LA gulf coast. At least the game is not cancelled.

[LehighFan11]

Well since they f-ed up 3 years ago they want to make sure they have everyone out before it even gets cloudly.....such idiots

[CatFan22]

The game will be moved to ESPN Classic.

[AppGrad06]

The game will be moved to ESPN Classic.

This is correct. It was just confirmed on Sports Center.

Totally screws up my DVR Schedule

[CSUBUCDAD]

They use a 50 hour prior to landfall rule to start the evacuation. That is why Saturday night it is critical to make sure all the fans that have come in for games are long gone so the folks who live there year round can move inland and get out of the way.

[ASU88]

That makes no sense. Gustav isn't predicted to make landfall until Tuesday

Evacuations rarely go quickly or smoothly.

[AppGrad06]

they turn into total grid lock

[appfan2008]

damnit this sucks I just bought a brand new tv for this and I dont have espn classic... i hope some local bars are open that early...

[APPStrongNC]

anyone got a link to this news....????
looking and I cannot find one

[appfan2008]

espn.com and lsusports.net have the story front and center...

[LehighFan11]

well one possible good thing is that lsu's players will probably still be hung over at 11am

[ASU88]

they turn into total grid lock

Yup. I have family in Houston that evacuated ahead of Rita three years ago. What should have been a 4 to 4.5 hour drive took 12 hours.

[APPStrongNC]

http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/clubhouse?teamId=2026

This link has the 11:00 EST time change but it notes ESPN or ESPN 360 and that is all.

[CharlestonAppFan]

xlolx xlolx xlolx hope you're right xthumbsupx :D

[B&G]

So much for that mid day heat that was supposed to wear ASU down.

[DSUrocks07]

yep..
http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/storm_graphics/AT07/refresh/AL0708W5_sm2+gif/145214W_sm.gif

*Looks at link*

...and it wont be over Baton Rouge until Wednesday I understand erring on the side of caution but isn't this just a little over the top? xconfusedx

[AppAlum2003]

Crap... I don't think ESPN Classic HD even exists. xmadxxmadx

But, if this means that the evacuation out of LA and the surrounding areas goes smoother, more power.

[CatFan22]

http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/clubhouse?teamId=2026

It's on Classic and 360. Bottom line on ESPN is putting it up as well.

[DSUrocks07]

Evacuations rarely go quickly or smoothly.

That more of the responsibility of the individual people and families. If I lived down in the Bayou and I knew that there was a hurricane coming I wouldn't sit around waiting for the government to show up and say "hey you better leave" I go stay with my family in Texas or whatever...JMO why wait until Saturday?

[APPStrongNC]

It's on Classic and 360. Bottom line on ESPN is putting it up as well.

Nice. thanks man...
still looking for a link. At work, no tv

[Grizzaholic]

Great, so now I cannot BBQ and watch the game. I will have to resort to go to the bar and watch it at 9am. What the hell does someone drink at 9am watching football???



Got it, Bloody Mary's.


Still pissed off about it.

[appfan2008]

i just hope bars are open that early

[Touchdown Yosef]

I would imagine this might affect attendance and that the fans may not be quite as rowdy as they would have otherwise been.

[AppAlum2003]

Might help some of those less experienced ASU players... less time Saturday to build up those butterflies.

[lizrdgizrd]

Screwdriver. OJ is the proper drink with bacon and eggs. ;)

[appfan2008]

also it sure would suck to be one of the few hundred app fans who have been planning to fly in tomorrow morning...

[Grizzaholic]

i just hope bars are open that early

They can sell at 8am here and most of the places that serve food are open at 7 or 8 so all will be good.

[BisonBacker]

Ahh hell just move the game to Appy ;)

Many Belgium fruit beers were originally brewed to complement traditional breakfast foods.

[UNCBears2010]

Hell, I've had one, the name of which escapes me at the moment (it starts with L), that tastes exactly like Fruity Pebbles. Perfect for a morning of football. :D

[AppGrad06]

That would be a Lambic

Lindams (sp?) makes a good one and they can be purchased in 750ml bottles as well as 12oz, oh and they require a cork screw to open.

[UNCBears2010]

That would be a Lambic

Yes it would, thank you.

[Grizzaholic]

Many Belgium fruit beers were originally brewed to complement traditional breakfast foods.

Yes I do know this. I do suscribe to Draft Magazine. But for a breakfast of champions one really needs the array of condiments that a Bloody Mary includes.

I just do not think a Lambic will do.

[Skjellyfetti]

i just hope bars are open that early

If you're in Boone... I'm sure Geno's will be open. I'm pretty sure they will be showing the game at Legends again as well.


**** HURRICANES.

I had to cancel my trip last night as the logistics of getting down there and getting out became nearly impossible. I bet the App attendance is way down.

[kirkblitz]

Great no HD then xmadx xmadx xmadx xmadx xmadx

never would happen but that sure would be sweet!!!

Ah, ok. Your location says Boone.

So much for the heat factor. Good benefit for ASU. Smaller crowds and better temps. Go App, plus LSU fans and players are worried about hurricane. They are going to be distracted.

[jus10asu]

This whole situation sucks... Been planning on watchin this game and grillin for months and now this...

[jus10asu]

ESPN Classic and 360

[jus10asu]

ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGG

[TexasTerror]

Press conference has begun...ESPN Classic and ESPN 360 will be doing the game.

Les Miles quote paraphrased...understands the reasons for kicking things off earlier, hope the time change does not inconvenient fans.

[GreatAppSt]

This is correct. It was just confirmed on Sports Center.

Totally screws up my DVR Schedule

You can change the schedule of your DVR via the internet if you have Direct TV. Lulu already changed ours, we've been in BR since last night, She's so smart.xnodx xsmoochx

[ChantDad]

I would imagine this might affect attendance and that the fans may not be quite as rowdy as they would have otherwise been.

The earlier you can play LSU, the better your chances...less time for Cajuns to get drunk...

Which reminds me; the predictions from "Two Daves," a couple SEC fearless forecasters:

Appalachain State @ LSU

Last year, Appalachain State beat Michigan AT Michigan. Heh. This assures me that Lester will make sure his team doesn't overlook them.

LSU's defense won't have much trouble in this one, Tyson Jackson will be all up in the backfield wreaking havoc. The only question is at quarterback. Ryan Perrilleauxooser is gone, leaving a redshirt freshman and a Ivy League transfer to duke it out for the starting position.

LSU 34 - Appalachain State 13


Bubb sez:

If there be any Michigan fans on herre, take note. This game gonna be a clinic on how you handle Appalachian State. Hail to tha victors, and have a GREAT day.

The REAL Coonasses 41 - Hillbillies 17

[KiddBrewer]

anybody know how to add Classic to your DirecTV without upgrading a package??

[Touchdown Yosef]

I would move to have that rule stricken from the books. Limiting the definition of beer only breeds ignorance and restricts tasting.

[ASUMountaineer]

You don't have it? I have it on my DirecTV pack. And, i don't have a sports pack or anything. Mine is on 208.

EDIT: Looked it up, I do have the Choice pack, I had to get that to have HD.

[Lehigh Football Nation]

WHEW!!!! I have ESPN Classic!!!!!

Actually, this opens up my PVR possibilities tomorrow... that 5PM kickoff was a bear for my recorder.

[AppGrad06]

I have ComCastxthumbsdownx but I have it set up as a manual recording now so no problem, just annoying.

[appfan2008]

I wish I had DirectTV... I have cable... and you will find me in a sports bar tomorrow morning in Durham, NC at 11am

[LehighFan11]

I have directv and the sports package and dont get espn classic ...not that it matters because i'll be at psu for their game...i was planning on being home for the 2nd half but not now

[AppStateSVX]

makes me mad that the powers to be moved the game to Classic. I'm going to have to go to the bar now I guess. We had planned on grilling out at the house, but oh well.

[thmst30]

Moving the game to Classic is bull****. This game is bigger than Virginia Tech vs. East Carolina, and definitely MUCH bigger than Syracuse vs. Northwestern. It was originally planned to be their 5:00 Primetime ESPN game, so I can't believe they decided to stick it on Classic instead of bumping VT-ECU or putting it on ESPN 2.

[Geaux Tigers]

The new time helps App because with a 10:00 start there is very little time to tailgate. This means that a lot of people won't come at all and the ones that do will not be nearly as roudy.

This sucks for the App fans though, half the fun is the day of tailgaiting to get ready for the game, and they won't get to see Tiger Stadium really rockin.

I remember a 11:00 kickoff for Ole Miss back in 97, the crowd noise was not a factor at all.

[ASUMountaineer]

Wow, that sucks. I wouldn't think it would be different, being that it's satellite, but I guess so.

[thmst30]

xlolx LSU fans are PISSED. Looking over at their forums every post is another livid LSU fan. Some mad about the time change, EVERYONE mad about the move to ESPN Classic. Understandably.

This really blows. I was pretty sure that, as much as I'd love to believe otherwise, we were going to get stomped. Still, it was going to be a good time. This takes all of the fun out of it...

And yeah, I know this post makes me sound like a whiny 8-year-old, but I feel like the wind has been taken out of everyone's sails. (No hurricane pun intended)

Fruity Pebbles is not fruit, it's cereal. Who said cereal and beer is a bad mix?

[ericsaid]

NO MORE HEAT FACTOR hhdfddsfdsfdsfdsg. And i bought tickets for the ECU-Va tech game because App's game wasn't until 5. Now to sell the tickets and watch App's game, or go to the game and watch highlights of Armanti Edwards?

Sucks for Ap fans. ESPN will air the Maryland vs Delaware game now instead of LSU vs Ap.

Hey thats cool! At least something good came of this, I will certainly be watching that one. Go UD!

[KiddBrewer]

PROBLEM SOLVED! we've actually got Charter Cable, so i just called them and its 5 dollars more a month for 12 channels (ESPN NEWS, DEPORTES, U, CLASSIC, a lot of FSN channels, like 5 outdoors channels) its worth the money i think if anybody has that option.

I dont really care when the game is as long as i can watch it in the comfort of my apartment.

Plus, im pretty sure all of this has to be a little bit of an advantage to us.

GO APP!

I was wondering how they'd fill the time slot

[CamelCityAppFan]

I know it sux that ESPN moved the game to Classic, but what else would you have them do? The slate of games for this weekend across the ESPN family of networks was set long ago, and the adjusted start time (11 am EST) does not allow for simple switchout because of the overlap it creates.

The original programming on Classic for this time slot was Bassmasters followed by Bowling from 2000. No problem bumping those.

But it does suck.

[ericsaid]

Any opinions, do I sell my virginia tech east caorlina tickets and watch the App-LSU game, or do I go to the game and just listen to the App game on the radio?

[elkinftball2002]

sell the tickets

[AppGrad06]

stupid Gustov. That name is forever tainted for me now...and I had planned on naming my first-born Gustov, but not now.xnonono2xxnonono2xxnonono2x

[APPALACHIANstate]

I just ordered Sports View Package on Charter..

5 Dollars a month channels include 3 other FCS channels I believe...

GO APP!

We have a similar offer (at least around here) on Comcast, haven't sprung for it yet, but now that they took Speed off of my package and added Big 10 Network to the extra sports (also has 3 FCS channels, NBA TV and NFL Network), I just might.

[EmeryZach]

Well, won't be taping this one anymore since I do not have ESPN Classic. Damn. Oh well, i'm sure i'll be able to find it somewhere.

No HD for the ASU-LSU game though.

[AppStFan76]

Any opinions, do I sell my virginia tech east caorlina tickets and watch the App-LSU game, or do I go to the game and just listen to the App game on the radio?

What? No homework this weekend? Good thing the game is early that way it wont be on past your bed time!! xlolx xlolx

Just bustin on ya!xthumbsupx

That game is sold out you may be able to make money on the tix. I say App-LSUxpeacex

But I'm biased!!

GO APPS!

[SoCon48]

Any opinions, do I sell my virginia tech east caorlina tickets and watch the App-LSU game, or do I go to the game and just listen to the App game on the radio?

Can't understand how that's a question? Sell the tickets, walk downtown and watch the game and have a nice steak lunch.

[KiddBrewer]

this thing might just be a good good thing after all for me.....it caused me to buy that Charter Sports package thing that included Classic, and now i get to watch a lot more FCS games and teams that I never could have otherwise, and for about 5 dollars more a month, ill take that anyday.

I'm sure you would be greeted warmly by App fans. McNeese will certainly be my second favorite team tomorrow.

[Drblankstare]

Tough break with the weather screwing up people schedules, but I really think Appy fans should feel good about this getting moved up. Gives your boys less time to stew about the game and it leaves everyone at LSU feeling a little upside down. IMO
