re: SEC Commissioner Can't Keep His Mouth Shut

The net for both teams is they each lose one rent-a-win and they keep but flip-flop their SEC games. To say LSU got screwed out of a home game and to ignore the fact that UF also lost a home game IS completely ignorant.

Fla loses nothing in the long run because they get the extra SEC home game next year to make up for it... period.

Again, Fla loses nothing because next year's LSU home game makes up for the 11/19 crap game loss while LSU gets no extra home games this year but still loses one next year.

Again... LSU is -1 in home games for this and next season while Fla is even and loses nothing over the two year span.

what a piece of shite, we offered to come on saturday/Sunday and monday, what the hell else did he have offer?..BS

The SEC home office, under the leadership of the commissioner, fricked up their first leadership test. Everyone with a brain knows this. Just like everyone with a brain knows there was no valid reason the game couldn't have been played Sunday or Monday of the scheduled week.

All the commissioner is doing is CYA the only way he can. Point the discussion in another direction. He's not going to take on Foley so he goes after a weak AD who is not even liked by the LSU fan base.

Joe's line in the sand is a highly reasonable one that anyone functioning with an IQ over 75 should be able to understand. LSU is NOT going to play three straight road game in 12 days because UF and SEC home office sat around with a finger stuck up their arse until Thursday evening waiting and waiting and waiting to make a game decision like keystone cops.

The problem for Joe is that no one gives a shite about that he thinks. That is painfully clear and one reason he needs to go before he fricks up another hire.

LSU made Sankey look like an idiot and he doesn't like it. Who would? He f'd up, now boxed in and he is mad about it.

Just want to correct this... Foley boxed in Sankey, Sankey made himself look like an idiot.

LSU didn't even stand by and watch. Alleva actually tried to help the man.

Goes to show you, no good deed goes unpunished.

Wasn't foley's line in the sand made public, on more than one occasion, he said it Tuesday, Wednesday, and again on Thursday...
JA was just following the trend...

We both lose a home game to a rent-a-win opponent. The two main reasons why LSU fans are pissed is
1) We didn't have to lose a home game if Florida would have tried to play the game the weekend it was originally scheduled.
2) They tried to make us look like the bad guys for trying to play them the weekend it was originally scheduled because the week they wanted to play us (11/19), LSU was already scheduled to play someone else.

Exactly right. This is all Florida's doing. We should not have lost ANYTHING due to their transparent attempt to heal their players on the back of a hurricane in their vicinity.

Haven't read the whole thread, just jumping in here. Sorry if off base, but this doesn't seem accurate. Florida lost the 10/8 game vs LSU and the 11/19 game vs Presbyterian. Gets an extra home game next year. Net = -1 home game. LSU loses S. Alabama game this year and the Florida game next year, but gains home game vs Florida this year. Net = -1 home game. They come out the same on losing home games.

You guys are all forgetting that Fla not only chose to screw themselves out of that game but they get plenty of insurance money for that game.

They get paid for the hurricane game anyway. Also, nobody can really say that it hurt the local economy since the local economy was screwed for the weekend by the storm.

The game being moved next year takes away from every benefit that a huge SEC game brings to LSU and the Baton Rouge economy while giving it all to Fla who does not deserve it at all.

our home game against fla this year is barely a noticeable step up from the game that was already scheduled.

Also, losing that game against a rent a win DOES most likely hurt us in a bowl selection because we have lost a win on our total record.

Guys, do not be fooled by any of this crap from the SEC or media. LSU has gotten the shaft through no fault of their own and Alleva did the only thing that he could possible do by making the only stand that he possibly could during a time of economic need after the floods.

ON TOP OF ALL OF THIS... I am not even sure that the SEC insurance will pay the 19th opponent (S Bama) off for our cancelling the game. If LSU would have to pay for that would be icing on this crap cake created totally by the SEC and Fla.

Wonder who swallows who, or if it's more of a 69 thing? frick those queers...
