The approach of Hurricane Gustav has prompted Louisiana State University to move up the kickoff for tomorrow's season-opening football game against Appalachian State to 10 a.m., a university spokesman said Friday.

"Public safety concerns override game-day concerns," said Charles Zewe, chief spokesman for the LSU System, adding that the decision was made after consultation with the governor's office and state officials who are coordinating the state's response.

"It's only, what, (29) more games?" he said. "I'm going to do my best during that and that's it." [...] He and the team hold mutual options for next year, and Olivo said there's no way he'll return. "Hell no," he said.

The Texans began this summer hoping to be a run-first team. They were universally praised for the hiring of O-line coach Alex Gibbs, a rooster of a man whose idea of leadership seems to be running around screaming at and insulting players. He has spent much of his adult life in the NFL, but may not be sharpest knife in the drawer.

If he was as smart as people make him out to be, he'd know that players tune out screaming coaches about 12 seconds into their second tantrum. Are you listening, Gary Kubiak? Screaming at your quarterbacks isn't a smart idea, either.

"He had to perform everyday. And it wasn't just one discipline. He had a variety of distances and disciplines he had to perform and he performed them at a level that no one has ever seen before."

"Those [last] two were mistakes I made by myself, no lights or anything," he said. "I just took my eyes off the ball too quickly.

"I feel very comfortable in left field," he said. "I just made a couple of mistakes, I know. But it's not like I don't feel comfortable."
