Before deciding to postpone the game, the schools and SEC explored other date and location options, and LSU offered to either travel or host the game over the course of the weekend.

This is where Coach O could win over a lot of fans. He could simply release a statement showing how LSU bent over backwards to help move the game to Tiger Stadium or a neutral site but the incompetent asshats at Florida declined. For good measure he could end his statement by calling UF a bunch of jort wearing Puss***.

Has it not occurred to you....

that UF benefits from not playing a game?
that UF dicked around all week trying to find a way out of the game?
that the entire SEC is affected by not playing this game?



1. I'm sure UF would have rather have the money they would have gotten from having this game.
2. How do you know they were trying to find a way out? You don't.
3. OMG. The SEC will be affected. People could die, dude.

From a football perspective, this is like getting another bye week. It ain't all bad.


We don't control our destiny anymore. We can still win out and if Bama doesn't lose to anyone but us, Bama goes to Atlanta.

Coach O should keep his mouth shut on this and stay focused on football. That's how you win me over.

You know goddamn well that was not UF's concern. If it was, this game would have been canceled or relocated to days ago.

#LSU side is not happy about this decision. They had offered up Tiger Stadium, #UF said no. They still tried traveling, game gets cancelled.

As shortsighted as he is, he makes a point. This should have been handled sooner and the game should have been played somehow. You don't just cancel conference games. And this is coming from someone who really doesn't care

So much for all of the 'experts' here who 'knew' someone in the admin, TAF, etc. reporting that the game would be here. Quit speculating. Please don't post again unless you have FACTS.

If Florida somehow wins the East, they will get arse raped by Bama in the SECCG. That will be fun to watch.

Perhaps we shouldn't have lost to Auburn or Wisconsin.

It's a bit unrealistic to think we win out, beat Alabama, and the Gumps don't drop another one somewhere.

No they don't.
They'd lose head to head regardless of they played extra game.
