MSU game may be moved

Hurricane Rita, anticipated to make landfall by Saturday on the Texas Gulf Coast, could cause postponement or even relocation of Saturday's Missouri State Bears football game at Sam Houston State.

The game is scheduled for a 6:30 p.m. kickoff in Huntsville, Texas, about 70 miles north of Houston. The projected path of Rita would take it into the Houston-to-Galveston area by early Saturday.

Missouri State athletic director Bill Rowe said Sam Houston State officials have made him aware of the situation and could announce a decision today of whether to proceed as usual or make alternate plans.

One plan Bears football coach Randy Ball would like, if the hurricane threatens, is to move the game to Springfield.
