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


OR...

They waited to cancel until the last possible moments in the hopes that they path changed.

OR

They felt that if the storm was so bad that they needed to relocate, then that would mean that players/coaches and their families could be affected.


I'm frustrated that they arent playing the game, but I sure as shite am not hoping that the storm destroys their campus like some of you fricking morons.

This right here. They could've canceled the freaking game on Tuesday. They chose to work the system and keep stretching it and pushing back their "announcement."


Freaking jerks.

Has it not occurred to any of you that many of the Gator players and coaches have family that will be affected by this? Family should come first, not fricking football.

If the shoe had been on the other foot, LSU would have had the stones to man up and travel to Florida. Tigers have done it before, flying damn near across the country to do so with ASU.

Florida fans need to know that their administration and coaching staff lack any semblance of self respect. They played a stall game until the final moments with every opportunity given to them to make this game happen. If they really thought they need to cancel the game for safety reasons they could've done so much, much earlier than by dragging this shite out on purpose.

BR and LSU would've gone out of their way to make you guys feel at home and show you great hospitality because Louisiana as a state knows exactly what you guys are going thru. But no, your athletic administration saw an opportunity to cower and hide in a corner from a newly revitalized LSU team that could give you a good game.

This is exactly what UF wanted. Macilnut saw the offense that we were able to put out in the first game without Les and knew he had 4 dlineman out for the game. If he could stop Tennessee from running he could stop LSU.

This what they were working for the whole time. Game could have been moved to a neutral site or Baton Rouge and they know it. There is a history of this.

And if they cancel it on Tuesday and the path shifts to the right, and not a drop of rain hits Florida?????

The entire LSU fanbase goes apeshit and hopes that the next storm that comes wipes the entire state off the map.

1. Apparently they didn't want the money.
2. If they didn't want a way out they would have worked out another venue. They refused.
3. No shite people may die. That is why the game should have been moved earlier in the week.

Apparently you think that Florida is perfectly fine with fricking up the entire SEC because it benefits them and only them for not having this game.

This was delayed so there would not be time to move it. Florida should get a loss.

No, I think you are a worthless piece of shite for hoping that a stadium gets destroyed over something like this.

The track drifted to the west in every update since Monday. This is no secret.


That's why it's closing in on the city now. So if this was a concern, as it would be to anyone with a brain, cancel or move the game two days ago. You don't wait until it's on your damn doorstep.


I don't wish anything bad on anyone in Florida, I've lived there myself and I've gone through 3 cat 3 storms in six weeks so don't tell me how things are there when a hurricane is closing in there.


What I'm saying is that there were plenty of other options to consider instead of digging their heels (specifically Jeremy Foley) and pissing away 3 days to ultimately do what they wanted to do all along and cancel the game when it was no secret that there was a major hurricane closing in.
