He was building up to the earthshaking warning to the Gov and is keeping it in his back pocket if the Gov doesn’t do his bidding. From such a warning from a big sugar state as Louisiana, I’m surprised the sugar cartel of Gov Scott backing isn’t wading into the fray.

The Republicans are running the Legislature down there and the Gov is teamed up with them and Big Sugar. Plenty of evidence of that statement and no innuendos necessary. If you didn’t see photos of the fish kills for the last two months and read the reports of their citizens, you would never see the pollution they have caused. It is huge and lasting. It is not a a smallish local issue anymore since it impacts the entire southern part of that state. Billions that were set aside earlier to fight Okeechobee pollution has been raided and spent on other political pork of the Republicans as controlled by their Gov and Legislature. Yep, it sure does have a Republican label on it, near-past or older-past. Take a look.
Georgia avoided those pollution pitfalls beginning back in Carter’s tenure (and before if you want to see what an informed Legislature did back then in stopping phosphate mining in the marshes; exactly where most east coast shrimp hatch). I was always proud of my state Legislature for their understanding of ecology and for the work that UGA’s Dr Eugene Odum (known in biological circles as “The Father of Ecology” and wrote the first textbook of Ecology) did in educating them of the pollution problems that they successfully stopped.

The sugar lobby bribes both sides in Florida. They create the pollution and Florida taxpayers are on the hook for the damage. Phosphate pollution is causing a lot of harm to other industries in Florida along with the environmental problems. Trying to turn this into an R vs D problem is just stupid. Less than 5% of politicians give half of a shit about fixing anything. That is why this lobbying is so effective. They are all empty suits looking to get re-elected.
The truth is we should not even grow sugar cane in this country. It is much cheaper to import sugar from Brazil than to grow it here or to use HFCS (yay, diabetes!). We have a federal tariff quota limit on sugar and sugar beets specifically to prop up inefficient and polluting sugar farms in South Florida and Louisiana. If we eliminated the tariffs and the other sugar programs designed to prop up the industry, the price of sugar, corn, beef, pork, chicken, etc. would go down. Type-2 diabetes rates would go down along with the associated health care costs. The fishing and shrimping industries would be improved without the fishkills. Alge bloom problems in south Florida would go away. The environment would be cleaner.

After leaving office, Nagin founded CRN Initiatives LLC, a firm that focuses on emergency preparedness, green energy product development, publishing, and public speaking. He wrote and self-published Katrina Secrets: Storms after the Storms.[2]
In 2014, Nagin was convicted on twenty of twenty-one charges of wire fraud, bribery, and money laundering related to bribes from city contractors before and after Hurricane Katrina[3][4][5][6] and was sentenced to ten years in federal prison.[7][8]

Katrina was officially a Cat 4 at landfall, but the thing people missed in the obsessive focus on Cat-this or Cat-that was just how damned big Katrina was. The storm surge was unreal.
Charley in Charlotte Harbor was much smaller, but it was incredibly intense within the storm itself, almost like a giant tornado.
And some storms just lumber along, dumping enough rainfall to cause massive flooding.
They change directions unexpectedly. They spin up tornadoes. They knock out power and close roads with flooding and debris.
You never know with these things. Each storm is its own story.
Side note: if this thing wraps around like they project it too, a lot of areas are going to get tropical storm rainfall twice in a week. Which would have next weekend’s games dealing with record flooding.

I can see both side of this argument, though I’m on the sides of the AD’s of both UF and SCU here. IMO they are doing the right thing, and waiting as long as possible to see where this storm is tracking before making a final decision. If the roles were revered and ADGM had to make a similar decision due to some natural event impacting Athens, he would be skewered to no end for making a decision to move the game on, say, Tuesday, only to see the threat continuing to dissipate closer to game time.
This storm is tracking further east, and as of now won’t come all that close to making landfall in S.C. And by then it will be a weak cat 2 storm at best; most likely a cat 1. Its also a very compact hurricane, with peak winds >25 miles east of the western wall only being in the 20-30 mph range; basically the equivalent to a strong cold front we start seeing this time of year.
As it stands now, the weather in Gainesville is looking just fine –cloudy with 10% chance of rain and 15mph winds on Saturday. Columbia is looking windier and wetter, but I strongly suspect this forecast will change for the better as well. In the end, I’ll be shocked if either game is moved from its current time/location.

Delaying the decision on the game isn’t the issue, it is not having researched and developed a Plan B, and C. No one blames them for holding out hope, until you eventually have to access the situation and meet a decision deadline. Unlike tornados, hurricanes provide enough time to make, and implement plans to avoid a catastrophe, unless you are Ray Ray Nagin, of course. I doubt either Columbia or, especially, Gainesville will have enough weather problems to make the field of play a major issue; it is all about the surrounding factors that the SC people are definitely missing out on. Gainesville has a touch of those factors to consider and think about, but SC has about a 2% chance of pulling off the Hail Mary with Mother Nature. The Blimp Shots should be fine, unless tent cities pop up all around, and in, the parking lots surrounding the stadium.

Honestly, continuing forward with the game Saturday night is a big benefit for us. The latest forecast for Columbia Saturday night is a 20% chance of showers and 25-30 mph winds. That’s it. And honestly, as I stated above I think these numbers continue to scale downward (I’m thinking no rain and 10-15 mph winds.)
Yet, I’d guess that the stadium will only be 60-70% full and fairly listless by their standards compared to most years over there. Let’s face it, playing at SCU has always been a nightmare for us, but this year they won’t have near the home field advantage as typical.

Check the latest track — the hurricane won’t pass anywhere close to Gainesville or Columbia. As mentioned, the hurricane itself won’t even make landfall with the SC coast, and given its unreal compactness, I suspect SC sees minimal damage. Heck Columbia will only get an inch or so of rain out of it any maybe 20mph winds. Yet you’re attempting to make it seem like the hurricane will ‘pass through town’ of each locale. Nice.

FYI…the issue in Columbia isn’t that they will get a lot of rain. The problem is that the governor already ordered the evacuation of the coast and the evacuees are largely in Columbia (and on up into the upstate area). So imagine gameday traffic and the strain on the infrastructure times 2. And then add in gameday traffic on top of that. Haley said that if you want to have the game, you will have no support from the state. That means no state troopers directing traffic or SLED working security.
