Governor Scott has more important things to worry about right now than where a fricking football game is played. Florida's administration should be expected to be level headed grown ups about this.

Vitter wanting the game moved is the first thing to make me think the game should be played in Gainesville.

What the hell was that last paragraph? Did they let some 17 year old high school student win some "write a paragraph to a governor for a day" contest?

Is he implying that the people of Florida do not know the dangers associated with hurricanes of this magnitude? Also, do you think the Governor was concerning himself with potential sporting events that could be played. I would think Governor Scott figured the games would automatically be cancelled when he announced the closure of all state facilities (which includes UF's facilities).

You're letting Florida win the game, put the blame on us traveling and not them making proper alternate plans.

Possibly faxed, just IMO.

Or e-mailed.

I appreciate him writing that.

This isn't a federal issue. No reason for Vitter to weigh in.

That being said, the letter was good up until the "come on, man" reference. That was bad.
