Wish someone would please ask Sankey tough questions

We traveled to wisconsin during the flood devistation just a month ago. How quickly they forget

Danielson grilled him pretty hard during the TN/A&M game when they spoke on the phone.



Gary sounded ticked off.



ETA: What George said.


He just kept answering with "We need to come together as a family." He must've said it 3 or 4 times.

From what I've read, most teams have what's called loss insurance in the event a game is "postponed." I put quotes around it because there is no date for a reschedule. Everyone knows it hasn't been pushed back a couple days, it's just "postponed."


Back to my point, if Florida were to agree to play at a different or a neutral site, that insurance is null and void. They lose it. It must be a home game for them to lose little, if any, revenue. If my understanding about that insurance is correct.

expect to play the game Sunday or Monday in Gainesville

Agreed. Another big hitch is how long Foley drug it out. He did it until the storm was already parallel to Miami, and the SEC office had to "postpone" the game. Foley forced Sankey's decision.

There could've been talks yesterday to get the stadium ready for an evening game on Monday, since the storm veered east and thankfully central Florida was spared. There were no power outages, no flooded roads, minimal damage, etc but Sankey evidently was too scared that he'd make Foley mad by doing that.

So now, according to Sankey, the game needs to be played but we all must "come together as a family." Maybe he'll bring the cookies and balloon animals too.

Same here, man. I just don't get it.



What's the freaking problem?

Your players will be on campus on Monday, we could've sent the equipment truck yesterday, it would've been there today.


That would give them 72 hours to get crowd control, concession workers, all that stuff, prepare the stadium and so forth.

We could fly over on Sunday.

It just seems so simple. I don't follow why Sankey is just blowing hot air. He legitimately seems scared to put his foot down and make a damn decision and the longer he waits, the worse the situation becomes.

It doesn't affect just us, it's now Tennessee's problem too and that could be just the start.

Is the the conference commissioner or what? What a clown.

Gary Danielson asked tough questions, he just dodged them

This is true. What disappointed me was that Gary didn't follow up on the dodges and press.

Later, Gart said he was about to go Perry Mason on him. That would have been great.

100% birdman, Danielson was right on him during the TN/A&M game. He simply reverted to the same excuses he repeated during the interview. LSU has to bring more pressure.

How about "Did you get completely played by UF or were you in collusion with them?"

There are several givens in this world:

1. The sun will rise in the east
2. if you drop something it will fall down not up

3. All decisions by the SEC office will be based on two things; what is best for Bama and what will screw LSU

This is why the game will be paid Nov 19 and LSU will not be reimbursed one dime. The SEC MIGHT pay of USA but that's not a given.

Any objections by LSU will be portrayed by Bama lackeys ESPN and SEC Network as LSU being unreasonable to "Poor Florida".

IT WILL HAPPEN JUST WATCH

After Sankey dodged a few questions and it was clear he wouldn't answer I would have ended with a statement.
It's clear we now have a new standard where the Home teams AD calls all the shots and the new commissioner performs his role from weakness and new expectations are set in place for more SEC games to be canceled when they don't benefit the home team.
