Louisiana could be in for a wet weekend this weekend. State Climatologist Jay Grymes says while that will certainly help with the drought, it could douse many weekend plans.
As Grymes just alluded to, Mother Nature could contradict Dixon McMakin when he tells the Tiger Stadium crowd at LSU that the chance of rain is “never,” continuing the tradition started by Dan Borne. And if you’re going to the game Saturday, allow yourself some extra time. Baton Rouge Police Lieutenant L’Jean McKneely says depending on which direction you’re coming from, traffic will either be diverted or restricted.
Cut 11 (11) “…areas on campus.”
20th ranked LSU is a slight underdog Saturday night as they host third ranked Texas A-and-M. The Aggies are undefeated, and they’re looking for their first win in Tiger Stadium since 1994. A&M quarterback Marcel Reed had three rushing touchdowns against LSU last year, and Coach Brian Kelly says they want Reed to run east-west towards the sidelines, instead of north-south.
On Sunday, the Saints host one of their division rivals, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Earlier this week, Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield said he didn’t like the Saints. Saints head coach Kellen Moore says the team knows what Mayfield said, and they are looking forward to Sunday’s matchup.
