Maybe, just maybe, they are trying to figure out logistics before the announcement instead of afterwards This should've happened yesterday.

I know this is going to sound like a homer, but LSU offered to host the game 2 days ago.

This really isn't about getting an extra home game, but really if this game is cancelled then UF should forfeit. If you're going to play Russian Roulette with a hurricane, one would think you've already got plan B worked out, especially when people have offered you options

Should have had these discussions 3 days ago. Storm did not pop up out of thin air. I think Florida would prefer to cancel. A loss puts them out of contention in SEC East, Tennessee would need to lose 3 games for them to win division. Cancellation, they could win with Tennessee only losing 2 games.

Which is why the game will be cancelled.

If game is cancelled, it needs to go down as a UF forfeit and an SEC win for LSU.

Asking all, why can't this game be played on Sunday?

You have an AD that is retiring and the UF President recovering from a surgery. Whats happening is the AD not giving a f*** and nothing to lose, with a president who is probably out of the loop.

UF's announcement:


"Game kickoff time moved up to 3 pm (Eastern). Opponent was a no show. UF wins by default."

I am slowly getting to this point. Lets see just how long they can drag this shite out.


"Hurricane Matthew has taken a direct bearing on Gainesville for the last several hours and is now about 50 miles out as we await word on whether or not the game will be played here tomorrow. I am now hearing a decision will be made tomorrow. Back to the studio-frick me!"
