Bad news for the Cougars but not at all unexpected.

Called it! I am so important and know everything.

Don't be surprised if it gets moved again to Baton Rouge as Harvey moves northeast.

Worst possible move. Dallas would have been best for us.

Glendale would have been the best possible solution for BYU, outside of being at LaVell Edwards Stadium. But BYU is just happy to be allowed to play at all, and has absolutely no leverage.

Well I don't think Glendale was ever in the picture. Of the 5 sites that I heard mentioned Dallas was the best. The others were Superdome, Nashville, Orlando and Jacksonville.

Well, its just what we would expect from someone who went to Vandy, Tulane, and Rice!

I think the stadium had to be "related" to that group. I think the superdome, cotton bowl, and jerry's world were the closest and the cotton bowl is not NFL or able to gear up in time and jerry's world has MI vs FLA that day. I don't see why they couldn't make it a double header . I think Phoenix is also part of it and I was hoping but you know LSU would never have gone for that.

Hey now, like many others I learned much of my arrogance from BYU. I did grad school emphasis in Irrational Behavior from Rice. (Which is probably flooded)

New Orleans was probably selected to ensure maximum possible ticket sales and revenue. It's only 1 hour from LSU at Baton Rouge, so they know they can sell tickets fast. With the game only 3 days away, they are probably trying to minimize lost $$$ from ticket refunds. Dallas would have been a great location too, but New Orleans was probably too tempting for them. LSU was probably never going to agree to a game which would have been more friendly for BYU fans vs LSU fans (aka Glendale).
