I just googled "Football fans hurricane"

[underpants]

and it appears that Bama and FSU and other fans are now being asked to give up their hotel rooms for the hurricane evacuees.

This is a change from yesterday where it was being reported that in Tallahassee at least it looked like evacuees were going to have to leave.

Good news. Wow I just had a chill go up my spine and a tear in my eye. People are good.

1. Most people are good.

That thought is the only thing that keeps me going, these days.

2. People still have compassion. In fact, many never lost it ...

... in spite of the bushification of america

3. I'm surprised that you didn't get ...

the Miami Hurricane or the Tulsa Golden Hurricane.

But it IS good news about the hotels.

4. It was the FSU Miami game that the story was about yesterday

I talked to a friend who is a huge Gator fan and he said the SEC boards were pissed off about this, all of them.

5. Those football boards represent a very, very small fraction of....

...the most rabid football fans. They DO NOT represent the views of the vast majority of football fans that are more than happy to help.

6. No no no you misunderstood

they were pissed that evacuees might have to leave the rooms.

7. You know the guy whose wife just drifted away and died

One of the Eagles is helping his entire family. I also heard the Eagles were donating 1 million.

8. What will be interesting will be the effect on the NFL season

all them season ticket holders at the Suoerdome & Astrodome are goin' to be pissed!!!!

9. The Astrodome isn't used for football anymore

The Houston Texans play at Reliant Stadium, which is next to the Astrodome. I heard it's being used for evacuees now too, as is the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston.

However, in Austin, on the UT campus, there is a huge tent set up with stacks of bottled water and other supplies being brought in around it. Has to be all nice tomorrow for the alumni coming for the UT football game.
