Doesn't clarify anything, but maybe you will find it useful.
South Carolina athletics director Ray Tanner said Tuesday afternoon that the Gamecocks' matchup with LSU -- scheduled for this Saturday at Williams-Brice Stadium at noon -- is not a definite to be held in that venue.
"Our situation regarding football, it's on-going," Tanner said. "We're not 100 percent sure at this time that we'll have a game here at Williams-Brice. While that planning is underway, it is not a definite. We will continue to monitor the infrastructure that is necessary to have a football game."
Tanner says that there are ongoing discussions with President Harris Pastides and other officials about what options the Gamecocks might have if the contest is moved and that a decision would be made in the next 24 to 36 hours.
Tanner said that a game at LSU was a possibility, but several venues have been discussed.
While the structure and playing surface at Williams-Brice Stadium are fine, Tanner and officials have to consider all factors involved in playing a football game in a city severely affected by major flooding before making a final decision.
Issues facing Saturday's game include the water supply, highways and first responders.
Tanner also sent his thoughts and prayers out to those affected by the disaster.
South Carolina has canceled classes for the entire week.

Word is that because the NASCAR race in CLT is sponsored by Bank of America, they may not have the available staff to host the football game at BoA Stadium. The latest news out of Columbia as of tonight is that because of lack of available first responders to work the game, the stadium's infrastructure holding up after all of that rain & issues with an inconsistent water supply are reasons a move is possible. Being said its 50/50 as of tonight & a final decision should come down the pipe by tomorrow night (with a move to Baton Rogue being the likely destination).
****Also of note, it doesn't look good for SCar's frosh QB Nuñez to be able to suit up this weekend & if that's the case, former walk-on Orth will get his 2nd start (@ UGA was his first). He is much more of a pocket passer, only in the sense that he's not a runner. He's not much of a passer either. If this game does indeed become a home game for LSU & an immobile, inexperienced, weak armed QB is under center for the Cocks, then I'd load up on the Tigers (but I'd still drop dimes on LSU even if this game was in Cola with Nuñez playing; it ain't looking good for SOS as his career crashes down the stretch).
From What I'm Hearing.....It WILL NOT Be Played @ Williams-Brice.
Columbia Is A Dangerous Place Right Now!
The Possibilities Were...
Bank of America...Charlotte
Atlanta
LSU
Right Now, Per My USC SOURCES:
It's Looking & Sounding Like This Is Going To Become Another Home Game For LSU!

Exactly, and I was at every game, home and away. The fans are still packing the house, and they always will...SC fans are great, win or lose, and none are bandwagon. Imagine that...
