Jim McElwain Responds To Critics That Think Florida Dodged The LSU Game

"19 deaths. 2.5 million without power. Families in dire needs. ... Dodging a game? Wow"

so the other 10-15 schools in the area of the hurricane that got hit don't care about these people? oh how heroic and humanitarian of you UF. you guys are fricking heroes.

But hosted recruits instead- yeah I believe him

I guess the UF volleyball team has no respect for the people of Florida affected by the storm? They had no issues traveling to SC for a game Sunday. UF AD had no problems with their safety traveling with the storm?

Must be embarrassing to get busted.

4 years as the bama OC. I'm sure the SEC home office was willing to show a little love to Lil' Jim. The "no decision" benefited both Florida and bama.

If you don't want to be called a chicken, then don't act like a chicken. Hosting recruits and sending your other sports teams on the road Saturday screams "we're scared to play LSU this weekend."

After Katrina, facing Rita, game played against UT...

Stop being a pussy.

LSU after Katrina went to Az state to play their home game. S. Car. came to LSU to play their home game. Explain please , how is Fla. situation different? Precedent had been established.

Army Hog. WTF has Arkansas EVER done in the SEC? Nothing except win a game here or there. Well big deal. Even Kentucky does that. You buffoons always chime in when you are even involved (like now) so I will tell you this, since you Hillbillies joined the SEC LSU has won/tied for the SEC West 8 times. LSU has won the SEC 4 Times. LSU has played in 3 National Championship Games and won 2 National Championships. Your Hogs have won zero SEC titles much less played for a NC and you just got your asses handed to you last weekend. Just STFU and dream for the day when your Hogs are ever relevant. It will be a long while. Dumbass.

Thought it was all about safety. What about the safety of recruits?

Every other college in Florida and Carolinas played their game.

Move it to Sunday and get on with it. Don't cancel like a little bitch.

Hmm, so i wonder why it was ok to send their volleyball team out into the storm to play. Also odd how Gainesville wasn't even affected but somehow Miami and FSU still played and USCe and Georgia simply rescheduled to Sunday...like LSU offered to do

LSU needs to send Florida a couple cases of Summer's Eve.

TWT
Weather Channel for Gainesville, Florida, Saturday: 66-84, Partly Coudy 10% chance of rain. Sunday: 63-80, Sunny 0% chance of rain. Monday: 60-75, Sunny 0% chance of rain. AND THE SEC BOUGHT INTO THEIR STRATEGIC EXCUSE!

Nobody believes him

19 dead in florida?

His teeth are yellow and so is he.

All I hear are excuses, bunch of cowards

19 deaths and 2.5 million in damages to Gainesville??? CJM You're full of it!!!

Would Florida have played the game if their players were healthy? I say yes..

When you have confidence in your team you play anywhere anytime, unless you're Florida of course.
