Rita Forces Texas A&M to Move Game

Hurricane Rita is still in the Gulf of Mexico and already its effects are being felt at my alma mater.

Texas A&M has moved Saturday’s football game with Texas State to tomorrow night at Kyle Field.

Fox Sports Net will televise the game.

A&M President Robert Gates says fans not living in the College Station area should not try to attend the game — because no hotels will be available.

A number of hurricane evacuees are expected to be staying in the area.

Ah, but this certainly brings to mind memories of the “Hurricane Bowl” in 1988 during my undergrad days. I still believe Bama was scared of a team that was about to rebound from a rough start.
