Funny - on the news this am they were talking excitedly about the State Fair coming next week and how part of the parking or admission proceeds were being donated. Why no concern there?
The team has a chance in Columbia, they have no chance in Baton Rouge and the local businesses could use the help if the infrastructure can be restored.
The game should be played it Columbia. That will bring normalcy. Many of the officers that work the games are from outside of the Columbia area and do so on their days off. For example a lot of the upstate suffered very little damage. The only major issue is the water. Many businesses opened on Monday without safe drinking water. I just brought bottled water to work and moved on.
Law enforcement doesn't need to waste time directing game traffic while we have hundreds of roads and bridges that are out. Makes no sense at all.

Just thinking out loud because I really do not know the answer, but do most Highway Patrol live in the area they serve? I always assumed they covered all of SC and traveled all over SC but it makes sense that they may cover regions or territories and live in these territories.
If they live all over SC and cover all of SC, then making the argument about having a game at W-B will be more taxing on them does not make much sense. I am not trying to be insensitive to the work they have done this past week and thankful for their service. However, this Saturday there are games all over the state. Taters are playing at home and people from all over SC will be attending, even many from the Columbia area. The Citadel is playing Wofford, in Chas., Coastal will be playing Presbyterian in Horry county which is also hit with flooding and road closures..Newberry is playing Mars hill in Clinton and it is there homecoming. A lot of state match ups this weekend that will bring bigger then normal crowds to these other stadiums.
I haven't heard one of these other schools talk about moving their games due to over taxing the SCHP and road conditions around the state.. The taters will require just as many SCHP as USC. All these other schools will require some as well..
For me the determining decision will be if the Stadium has water and sewer. If no sewer then no game....I doubt they could put enough little-johns outside the stadium to accommodate the crowds..

IF there was a stadium big enough and available to hold USC's game in the Upstate, then the game would be played there.
I say we use this as a bye week. Not play this game at all, and have it listed on the schedule as a 3-0 loss. 20 years from now people will be thinking that had to be a hell of a game.
Can't say I disagree with this. It was a tough call regardless for Tanner to make. There are still areas in Columbia without running water.The team has a chance in Columbia, they have no chance in Baton Rouge and the local businesses could use the help if the infrastructure can be restored.
