Wish that would have been the case when I was a student. I'm assuming they will allow tailgating all day. It will help gameday atmosphere be the best it can be, for a thursday night game

I would cancel classes after noon. Mainly for labs. I had one on a gameday back in the day, that wasn't cancelled, solely because there was no opportunity to make it up and that group would have been behind the M-W labs. If you announce it ahead of time like this, then you can prepare, possibly meet on a Friday (when there's usually not any labs).

The problem with cancelling morning classes is you are cancelling Tues/Thurs class, while M/W/F class in unaffected. It can really screw with coordinating classes and labs that have overlap.

Though if you're gonna allow tailgating and RVs to start the day before, this is the way to do it.

Unfortunately there will still be tons of vehicles around clogging parking for Friday. The school should allow students to 'decorate' any non-authorized vehicles still on campus after 8am Friday.

There should be a lot of hipe for that game. If we are some how pre season top 25 it will be even more from ESPN. I hope we are pre season rank but I think we need at lest two more good seasons to get rid of the bad preception that has developed over the last ten years. One thing I want to add, that preception has hurt our recruiting.

and I had been up all night working on it and had to do this presentation on it. I honestly don't remember anything I said other than the condition I talked about "was pretty rare". The teacher asked me "How rare?" And I said something I just totally made up like "One in a million." And he just sat there and goes- "Hmmm...that is pretty rare". I think thanked God, and then I remembered everyone clapping and I sat down.

I was asking people how it went because I had no idea what was going on up there. It was really surreal.

It is about time we plan Thursday night games out better than we have previously. The Auburn Thursday night game was a disaster last semester

You slept through most of your classes if I remember correctly!

If we somehow beat LSU they better go ahead and cancel Friday classes too! I'd have made it one hell of a 4 day weekend.

(before I got serious with my studies)

that's why those non-cancelled afternoon classes and labs on thursdays game days always screwed me.

apparantly these little bastards get a fall break now. they should just cancel that day offMonday and Tuesday of Thanksgiving week and make LSU weekend a 4-day weekend. Missing 2 T/Th classes and 3 M/W/F classes, evens out. Labs would be a problem, so Th and F labs shouldstart the first week of class instead of the second week. Bam, solved.
