Hurricane Ike tracker from StormPulse.com
This doesn’t look good for the game against Arkansas on Saturday. With the scheduled kick-off at 2:30 PM, Ike could possibly be moving through Austin right around game-time. Luckily both teams have an off week on Sept. 27, so scheduling a make-up game in case of a postponement should not be a problem.
Update: A source from OrangeBloods.com says that there is a 90% chance the game will be postponed until Sept. 27.
Update #2: Brazoria County, Chambers County and Galveston officials have issued evacuation orders.
Update #3: Orangebloods is reporting that the game has officially been postponed till September 27th. Here’s a the official press release from the athletic department. The football schedule page has been updated. (8:50pm)

yeah DeLoss Dodds said at the longhorn club lunch today that we need to support the Texas gulf coast and that it would take too many people to open the stadium for the game. I just hope we can handle the ridiculous schedule this puts the team in. Interesting point is that there will be more people in Austin the weekend of the 27th than this weekend. Its hard to stay positive about these decisions….
