By all Indications Tropical Storm Hannah, soon to be a Hurricane again, will be off the Coast of Savannah, GA by Friday at 2 pm and will Hit Landfall between Savannah and Charleston on Friday Night.

What Games could be affected and how will the weather affect them?

I would think Any Games from Athens, GA to the Northeast Could be Affected.

LSU-Troy game postponed until November

By BRETT MARTEL AP Sports Writer BATON ROUGE, La. — LSU has postponed its football game against Troy after Hurricane Gustav rolled through Louisiana this week. The university made the decision on Wednesday after having a full day to get a handle on damage to Tiger Stadium and around the community, much of which is expected to be without power into next week. "The welfare of the people of Baton Rouge, the uncertain power issues facing all of us and the condition of Tiger Stadium were all factors in making this decision," LSU director of athletics Joe Alleva said. "We are fortunate that both schools had a common open date later in the year. I am appreciative of the cooperation of the good people at Troy for their understanding of this situation." The seventh-ranked Tigers' game versus the Trojans will be played Nov. 15. Classes are canceled through the end of the week, with only part of campus on generator power. LSU's football team met at the Tigers' on-campus training center Tuesday afternoon, then went ahead with practice. They continued practice on Wednesday afternoon on their indoor field, which also has generator power. Gustav caused some damage at Tiger Stadium, including broken glass and torn awnings over club seats. Debris littered the stands and playing field. Alleva said facilities crews were not yet certain if the stadium lights or scoreboards were still working because regular power was still out at the stadium. A generator was used to power meeting rooms below the stands behind one end zone. Troy athletics director Steve Dennis said his university was happy to accommodate the postponement. "This is a football game, nothing more, and the people of Baton Rouge have more to worry about right now than a football game," Dennis said. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Baton Rouge and LSU and we wish them nothing but the best as they work to overcome the effects of this storm." Trees are down on campus and throughout Baton Rouge, some resting on the roofs of houses. Dangling and shredded power lines were also a common sight. Normally, more than 100,000 fans flock to campus for Tigers' games, enjoying tailgate parties on campus even if they cannot gain entrance to 91,600-seat Tiger Stadium, then filling area hotels. LSU officials said there was no way the Baton Rouge area could accommodate such an event this weekend, but remained hopeful that a scheduled home game on Sept. 13 against North Texas would be played in Death Valley. The eye of Gustav passed just west of Baton Rouge, battering the capital city with recorded gusts of 74 mph for hours. Damage appeared worse in Baton Rouge than in New Orleans, where the Saints remain scheduled to play their regular season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Louisiana Superdome. Tropical Storm Hanna is also causing schedule changes this weekend. The Colgate-Coastal Carolina football game has been moved from Saturday night to Sunday at 1 p.m. in Conway, S.C. ___ September 3, 2008 - 3:55 p.m. Copyright 2008, The Associated Press.

I know the Buzz is starting over possible bad conditions for the WVU ECU Game. Been really looking forward to this game, even before ECU beat VaTech last weekend. Done got my wing order figured out and my brothers got this bigscreen that just fits football so well. But if not still going to be alot of worthy games to watch and eat wings to.
