Alleva being a confrontational moron didn’t help either

Not that I didn't already hate Florida, but that bullshite made me hate Florida.

LSU offered to play Saturday, Sunday or Monday in either Baton Rouge or Gainesville. LSU had secured hotels in BR and NOLA. They even offered LSU's plane for Florida to use. All this points to the fact that Florida simply did not want to play LSU.

I don’t blame Fla.
they just used a pretext to obtain an advantage.
Sankey and Alleva let them get away with it.

No thanks. It won’t be until 2040 that LSU plays in CoMo.

Don’t forget that UF left their student athletes in the path of what was to be a major hurricane after LSU offered them an opportunity to get them out of harm’s way.

It is because of this entire scenario that I hate UF more than the Gumps.

Don’t go though. It’s an absolute shithole. The motel we stayed at we stacked some of the furniture against the door each night we were there. When we went to tailgate and to the game we loaded up all or clothes and shite and left it our shite in the car.


Including LSU, I'm been to 9 SEC campuses for a football game. Enjoyed the hell out of all them, except for one. And that one is Florida.

Agree 100% with you though don't even go to Florida I don't recommend it. It's a fricking shite hole and their fans are grade A scumbags and smell like straight arse.

Yup, 13 SEC schools would have done the right thing. Then there's UF. They're filth.

Stayed at some Knights Inn. Police went around looking solely for LSU fans. Florida students literally tried fighting us walking into the stadium and the Tebow hit Percy Harvin for a bomb on the first play. I’ll never step foot in that shithole again.

When we end playing at Missouri, Woodward should point out what dreadful passes the gators were in a similar scenario.

Was never any logic. LSU bent over backwards, Florida still pretended to be afraid of the hurricane, then somehow it was popularly decided that LSU was a bully in the scenario. As if LSU of all schools doesn’t understand a hurricane.


frick Florida.

Exactly why did the play the game in tiger stadium? What was the reason for not only postponing it, but also flipping the site. I dont remember

The game was set for Gainsville, but there was a hurricane approaching. It was absolutely clear the game couldn't be played there, no matter exactly where the hurricane hit, because wherever it hit, first responders would need to focus on the hurricane and not on a football game in Gainsville. LSU (which knew a thing or two about hurricanes) earlier that week proposed moving the game to BR or a neutral site. Florida's AD wouldn't budge, insisting that the game could still be played there. Of course it couldn't, and in the end the game was cancelled.

Then FLA was told by the SEC that if the game wasn't re-scheduled and played they would be disqualified from contending for the SEC East. So now FLA (which had a chance of winning the East) desperately wanted to play the game another week when they had a bye. The only way that could happen was if we cancelled a cupcake game and played FLA that week, which we did, but on the condition that the game was played in BR. That was agreed on the basis that the next 2 games were in Gainsville.

The bottom line was, FLA desperately wanted to avoid playing LSU in BR on the weekend the game should have been played, and they got what they wanted, and we badly lost the PR war. It was FLA's stupidity and intransigence that led to what happened, but they managed to paint it that we were the bad guys.

It would have been better if we had told then to F... Off, we had given them the chance to play that game in the week that it should have been played and they had refused it, and just got on with out cupcake game. Unfortunately LSU thought it still had a chance to win the West, so it was also keen to play the game so it succumbed.
