re: Question for our board re: a scenario similar to this LSU-Florida fiasco

since the LSU athletic department chose tp play USA at home, than to reschedule the game the 19th,tells me they already know LSU isn't getting anywhere close to Atlanta. They decided to keep the home game instead. Right decision for them this year. The only potential victim to not playing this could be UT.I honestly think UT is about to drop the next two games. I swear the LSU battlecry has become

Personally, I place this fiasco at the feet of a weak commissioner. Sankey sat on the sidelines too long and is now trying to be a leader.

Game should be played at whatever financial cost. However, Sankey's failure to lead is now going to cost the Conference millions of dollars. Why? Because Florida manipulated the situation and weak leadership at the conference level.

Give Florida the credit. They played this well. They will play LSU and will most likely be healthier when they do get to play...all the while Sankey is paying everybody for their troubles.

LSU doesn't want it moved to Nov 19th because it would create a murderers row at the back end of their schedule. After their open date oct 29, they would have Bama, then at Arkansas, then at Florida, then A&M 5 days later on Thanksgiving unless that game were backed off till that Saturday. So they would have to, in effect, move 2 games and drop USA and play a killer stretch to make this happen. You can see why they balked at it.

Yes you do. The fans don't think it would be fair to make LSU play 3 road games in 11 days with Thankgiving stuck in the middle. It would be a tough stretch for any team. I do agree that if it was play the 3 game stretch and have a shot at a conference title or don't play the game and have no shot that I would want to play the comferece game. But for you to say you don't understand why LSU fans question it? Come on, man.
