That's exactly what JP and I both say. And do.

Scott's on a roll!

Well, they're not gonna be playing football on the damn roof, are they? As long as the field is playable and the structure itself is safe (i.e. all the loose metal is secured), I say they go ahead and play.

I think they know his eyes are worse than he wants to let on.

Glad you're okay, Aussiew!

My guess is "outside."

I think we already answered that somewhere else. They could play at Ole Miss or any of the Louisiana stadiums that aren't significantly damaged. LSU will have to look for a new stadium too since they play at the Superdome as well, don't they? One thought might be the Astrodome, although I don't know how the Texans would feel about that.

Check out the NOLA.com blog. Ugly, ugly stuff, and it's only just starting. Whitecaps in the street. Christ.

Looks like he read your post and changed his story.

And Hutch goes by the wayside along with Chris Weinke, Josh Booty, Drew Henson, and everyone else who thought that once they couldn't cut it in baseball, they could still be an NFL quarterback.

Steve Baker? I thought for sure his thirty-yard line drives would keep him on the team.

CNN just interviewed someone from there who said it was at 902 now

They just said that while it's easily comparable in strength to Camille, it's much larger and will cut a much larger swath of devastation along the landfall area. Also that it will continue to be a hurricane as far north as Tupelo... which means Memphis is going to get whacked hard too, probably. I really wish CBB and his family would get out. No point in riding this out even if you're not IN New Orleans.

What's going to happen to New Orleans if this thing doesn't veer is pretty much incomprehensible, but this article (long but worthwhile) puts it into frightening perspective.

The other thing is that this 'cane is heading straight up the Mississippi after it hits. Means even more flooding downstream.

Houma (where he lists his location) is about halfway between Morgan City and New Orleans. Hopefully it is well outside the "bowl".

Good luck, CBB, you have our prayers. You're not in N.O. proper, I take it?

Yep. Everyone's buried aboveground in NO because the water table is too high for inground burials. Gonna be a lot of floating bones and caskets in addition to the raw sewage and poisonous snakes, etc. Ugly ugly ugly

All Darwin winners are posthumous.

I'd pay to hear that.

Actually, KD was absolutely right. If you were a Mater Dei the world would be your oyster.

Did anyone else think of Luther Van Dam and Hayden Fox whenever they saw McNally talking to Mularkey on the sidelines last night?

Look, who gives a flying !@#$ what the "NYC people" think? Think about it: those people are all there because they didn't get into Harvard or Stanford and they want to feel better about themselves by creating a caste system with themselves at the top. Law students are a fantastically insecure bunch as a whole and the sooner you realize that they don't have the right answers any more than you do, the better off you'll be.

It also sounds like you're attending the same law school I attended my third year after spending my first two years at UB. I had no regrets doing it that way, but I have to admit that I looked around during my third year and was glad I didn't have to spend three years competing with those "gunners." Believe me, though, a lot of these "gunners" will shut up sometime during second semester when first-semester grades come out.

I got ten bucks says you'll be posting here in seven or eight years bitching about your Civ Pro class.
