UF obviously had options but chose to do nothing. Make them put their $ where their mouth is.

LSU should come out and say they were open to any option to get this game in and there were several options available to ge it in or play on Sun/Mon but UF refused to adjust. If UF feels 11/19 should be the replay date then they should compensate us for their reluctance to accommodate a change.

Still an economic loss of our community. Businesses count on those home games.

They also have to move the A&M game to Saturday. No way we should have to play back-to-back road games in 5 days.

Are they going to pay the business income loss for everyone in Louisiana?

It should go further than that...

the SEC should also set up a game between USA and Presbyterian, and pay all the support costs...

If Florida wanted to do that, they've only communicated it to Bret McMurphy. Joe Alleva stated this morning that any talks about 11/19 were lies.

Nope. Crickets from the athletic department.

If LSU decides to play the game on the 19th that is fine but frick the arrogance of everyone saying they have to do it.

Why should LSU act any different than the precedent set by other schools numerous times? We offered to do anything possible to play the game the scheduled weekend and UF declined.

In 2004 Hurricane Ivan hit 3 days before the game and even with LSU and Auburn sharing a bye week later in the year, Auburn wouldn't consider moving the game from the scheduled weekend.

quote:

The status of the game remained in doubt until Friday morning as officials in Alabama and Louisiana assessed damage from the hurricane. Auburn officials drew some criticism when they decided to go ahead with the game with thousands of people still without electrical power and coping with the destruction caused by the storm.

Auburn Coach Tommy Tuberville -- who turned 50 Saturday -- was determined to play because he did not want to make it up on his team's only open date, Nov. 6, then have to face Georgia and Alabama on subsequent weekends.

If LSU plays UF on 11/19 it must be played in BR. WE should not bear the economic loss due to the hurricane, including the impact on local businesses, etc. UF should have been insured to cover their loss this weekend. If not, they gambled on self insurance and lost.
