LSU AD Joe Alleva: "We Made Every Attempt To Play This Game"

Commence the downvotes because y'all will act like it was for "safety" but we all know y'all really wanted to try and get that game in B.R. to better your odds. Be honest with yourselves.

Funny how all the other games are being played on Sunday. Why can't this one? Oh because your qb is hurt.

If they wanted the game in Baton Rouge, then why did they offer to play Sunday or Monday or even in an empty stadium if they had to? Why did Florida refuse?

That's totally different

Non-conference, no worries. This is a MUCH bigger deal.

Bruh, think before you post

It is becoming ridiculous the way the SEC treats LSU. There is no way this would happen to Bama. No damn way.

That's why we must play the game nov 19 and take our chances on a short week at texas a&m. No other option. Unless arkansas beat alabama and Tennessee beat a&m.

I really don't think this was all a convoluted plan to get Bama to the SECCG. And to think or say that seems paranoid and way to stuck on the Tide's success. This was just Foley being a cowardly bitch, and the SEC being gutless tools.

Shiftyplus 1: There's purpose in everything. Corruption runs deep. Bama creates more overall revenue for the SEC. It's in their best interest for Bama to continue to excel. More people (nationwide) tune in to watch Bama games more than any other team in the SEC. So the SEC keeps their prized pig fed. It's well known that LSU is the only team in the country that matches Bama talent wise. We lost 5 straight due to pour gameplan and couching strategy. In regards to Florida, they just didn't want to play because their QB is still hurt along with most of their D-line. They were walking into an arse whipping and they knew it. That's cut and dry. Shady, yes. But the SECs purpose is a lot shadier. Everyone knew this game played a major role in the SEC championship race. Their where dozens of alternate options they could've went with. Yet they cancelled. Why? Florida didn't want the loss and the SEC didn't won't LSU to get the W. They both got what they wanted. Win Win...

You are beginning to sound gay. This is the 5th time you posted thst this week.

Why not me - the guy is legitimately happy that we finally have a coach who is doing good thing for this team and you feel the need to be a prick? Get a life.

@whynotme what the frick are you talking about?

Not if arky beats that arse this Saturday. Then we take care of business. frick Florida. They should forfeit. All reasonable attempts were made and they didn't show.

So LSU should be forced to cancel our senior day, lose 3-4 million dollars in revenue from the lose of a home game, and play a road game on the saturday before playing A&M thanksgiving because UF's AD is a stubborn moron who didn't make up back up plans? How in the world does that make sense? If we did that we don't have to worry about the tiebreaker rules because there is no way in hell that LSU wins out with that schedule. If a tiebreaker scenario happens, Alleva needs to grow a set of balls and tell the SEC they have 3 options: 1. Make Florida forfeit since we made every effort to play and they did not. 2. Push the SECCG back a week and let LSU and UF play. 3. Change the tiebreaker rules since these are extenuating circumstances so that head to head is more important than winning percentage. Then if the SEC does nothing and a 7-1 Bama or a 7-1 A&M goes to the SECCG over an 6-1 LSU, Alleva needs to tell the SEC to shove it up their arse and we take our talents to the Big12.
