The game between no. 7 LSU and South Carolina has been moved from Columbia to Baton Rouge due to major flooding in South Carolina. Many roads have been washed away, and the infrastructure needed to support the 85,000 fans at a game there the univ. and the SEC decided would be better put to use elsewhere. USCe has cancelled all of its classes for this entire week for the 34,000 students. SC will lose expected to make 3mil+ on ticket sales for the game.

...and they'll get it back when the next scheduled game, at LSU, is moved to Columbia.

Joaquin may have missed NJ, but that doesn't mean we just forget about it. The rain effects still pummeled Carolina.

Here are some pictures from Columbia, SC this weekend.

Hopefully, this will be evened out over the next few years. Not sure when they meet next as it is a crossover game between divisions.

The amount of rain that fell was staggering. I saw an article this morning indicating that an estimated 11 trillion gallons of water fell on the Carolinas this weekend, an amount sufficient to have ended the California drought!

I'm glad the university erred on the side of safety as it would have been quite dangerous for the fans to drive to the game. But did anyone notice that the Clemson-ND game was played through that same storm. Clemson is farther inland so the flooding might have been a lot less but it sure looked awful on TV (one of the very rare instances when I rooted for the ACC team).

Rainfall in SC had NOTHING to do with Joaquin...not one molecule of water...if Joaquin had gotten caught in the flow of what affected SC (had it been "sling-shot at the SE coast...then the devastation would have been staggering...)

We usually driver from Florida to the Triad area in NC,my daughter's home,for Thanksgiving.Take 95 to 26 up to 77 and get off at Exit 12 in Columbia to gas up.I expect that it will be dry by the time we do it this year. :sunglasses:

We drove back from WDW today to my son's house in a Columbia suburb. Lucky for us, I-95 was open to I-26 where it was closed heading northbound. I-26 was fine around Columbia.

BTW, I met Isaiah Wharton's aunt in WDW. My grandson had an RU t-shirt on. She was our server and when she saw the t-shirt she lit up--said she loves RU and has a nephew who goes there and plays football. Wonderful lady and the love for her family and Isaiah gushed out of her.

You mean Kyle and the rest of the Floods have caused the USC(e)/LSU game to be moved
Guess the Floods found a way to influence college football during Kyle's suspension[smoke]
