PROVO — Some will go, some won’t, others just can’t even think about it. Generally speaking, BYU fans will bite the bullet as a tragic life-changing disaster overshadows the games people play.
The catastrophic events in Houston forced organizers of the AdvoCare BYU-LSU game to take that Saturday contest out of NRG Stadium near downtown and move it closer to LSU’s campus at the Superdome in New Orleans.
Moving the game to New Orleans was the right business move for owners of the game, particularly for ESPN.
This was a major game for independent BYU, a dream matchup against a traditional blue-blood SEC program whose national reputation is legend.
