The Current FReepathon Pays For The Current Quarters Expenses?
Posted on 01/09/2012 3:33:21 PM PST by topher
Most of Southern Louisiana is currently covered by rain showers that are headed eastward to New Orleans.
The concern should be that by the end of the game tonight severe weather may be over the Superdome.
With all the probable drinking and celebrating, this may make for a bad combination.
It will not be Chamber of Commerce weather for this event.
This weather was on the Texas border this morning, and has been moving Eastward all day...
Hopefully, the word can be spread to the fans before/during the game so that precautions can be taken.
Drinking and driving is bad enough, but drinking and bad weather as well as driving may make for an even worse combination.
Where’s FEMA?

Looks like the Tigers are already turning the tide on O-bama.
Sure is going to be a soggy wet ride home for the bama fans and players.
GEAUX LSU!!
Thank you so much, mommy. I’ll be sure to bring my raincoat.
There is a supposedly 100,000 people in New Orleans not attending the game -- but tailgating all day [and probably until 4 or 5am early Tuesday].
A word to the wise is sufficient.
Those areas of red are definitely of concern bump!
There is a land called “ Iloathefootball” and I am its queen. I detest this mindless fanaticsm. People are being told ‘dont have a life threatening problem’ in downtown N.O. tonite or you might not make it because of traffic! There is no other news, no weather except that which affects football, just ‘borg mind’ robots.
I hope the streets flood-like they always do -then maybe priorities will change.
Thousands of dollars for a SEAT at a GAME, but the area is still begging for sympathy and federal help!
Sick- I just want it all over.
For those who are not aware, New Orleans can be a dangerous place at the time of Mardi Gras (murders, rapes, etc -- just a normal day in the Big Easy).
Hopefully, the nasty stuff may not arrive until 1am or 2am (or later). But it possible for lightning/bad storms by the time of the end of the game...
My, what a nasty person you are.
That
is
close
to
being
heresy!
Run!!!!!!!
I pretty much agree with you on football. I am sick to death of it here in Houston! The rain that just left us and is coming your way......... was fabulous! I measured almost 7 inches here in the middle of Houston. Yea rain boo football!
“Thousands of dollars for a SEAT at a GAME, but the area is still begging for sympathy and federal help!”
A major sporting such as this is pumping millions into the local economy.
sniff... I am the college football Queen .
Uhhhh ... isn’t the game inside? Now they had some bad conditions in the Superdome once before, but that was the democrats fault, not Gods.
Oh, good grief. It’s New Orleans - they know about rain.
Oh My, ClearBlue,
As football is a major religion in Lousiana and the “big game” is there tonight.
I’d bet the farm that you, being a little less than a football enthusiast, will be glad when this and the Saints are done?
Yeah, I know how it can B.
