Desmond says that the SEC should say "This game will be played on November, 19. LSU, you will buy out Southern Alabama and you will play in Gainesville on that day, or you forfeit the game."


I like Des, but frick him. Florida had every chance to reschedule, like UGA and SC... Like the four other NCAA games that were scheduled to be played in the state of Florida. LSU offered all it could to play the game in Baton Rouge or reschedule to another location.. But on Tuesday and Wednesday Florida assured everyone they would be able to play the game.. Then on Thursday morning they decide to cancel. What didn't they know Thursday morning that they didn't know on Wednesday morning that caused them to cancel?

Florida had something to gain by not playing that game, I don't know for sure if that played a factor, but it is hard to look at it and not think it was at least in the back of their minds. Now all of a sudden they want us to give up a home game? frick that.. They screwed up last week and because of that, they should be the one who has to eat a home game..

I will tell you what they did know. They did know that a state of emergency was going to be issued at least by Friday morning. They also knew that if a state of emergency was issued, that the SEC office could not force them to host this game. Plain and simple. They slow played until they knew it was imminent that there would be a state of emergency declared in Gainesville, poof, game over.
