Fine with that if Aggies come play final game of the year in BR on Saturday after Thanksgiving. Sure you lose a home game but pony up and make it happen.

Runs like a duck, makes excuses like a duck, it must be a duck. UF is great at ducking.

Almost all rational fans disagree with LSU fans and realize that LSU was trying to use a possible natural catastrophe to strong arm the UF admin. UF isnt going to bend to LSUs demands. Deal with it. Over half of UF's players could have, or had, family affected by the storm. Security personnel and other emergency personnel were diverted to areas of need.

If you wanna play, we'll see you on Nov 19. Otherwise, quit yer bitchin.


They literally had a week to decide what to do about the game. They floundered and a lot of people are calling them for it. The evacuation notice was posted, what on Thursday. If a UF players' family member is to ignorant to GTFO of the way of a hurricane, that is their problem. LSU tries to pay it forward after all the crap they have been through, and UF weasels out a way to turn it to their advantage.

I'm sure the hotel can find another patron to pay the 35.99/hr.

UF and UCF, two teams projected to be in the storms path, both decided to postpone with the latest info available.

Hurricane tracks almost always change, and change often. Given the close proximity to the Florida coast and the severity of the storm, it was prudent to wait until the last possible moment to make a call. This give you the most likely outcome, even if it isn't perfect. Regardless, moving the game out of Gainesville was out of the question. A UF home game pours money into the local economy. This is the exact same reason that LSU is giving tO decline the Nov 19 game.

If the game isnt held in G-ville, it doesn't happen. So, any arguements about moving the game are useless. It's not gonna happen. If y'all wanna play, see you on Nov 19. In Gainesville.

I think quite a lot of Ags want that game moved to Saturday anyway. I'd be cool with it. Not sure how it works out with tv networks though.

This is also a fact. Can't host a game without the proper staff. There was an article posted that layed out why a Sunday/Monday game is impossible, but I doubt you care to read it as it doesn't serve your agenda.

So UF shouldnt have to give up a home game even tho the issue is a natural disaster thats impacting FLORIDA not Louisiana so of course LSU should give up a home game because Baton Rouge and the surrounding area hasn't had any difficulties lately that would benefit from the money an LSU game generates - Right dumbass?

At least you are man enuf (unlike ur AD and HC) to admit you dont really want any part of LSU. This statement says it all, if LSU isn't willing to lose a home game in order to play UF it isn't happening. Thats pretty much like saying - Hey lets make it so difficult for LSU to play us that we know we wont play. After all why should Florida have to change or compromise at all. LSU should feel blessed to even have the chance to play Florida so of course ALL of the compromise and disruption should fall on LSU.

Just admit it King Gayturd this is a blessing for UF's team and SEC Championship chances and UF took complete advantage of it. I dont understand why they wouldn't want to play this game considering the cluster frick thats going on at LSU, I doubt seriously if LSU would have won this game but Florida's actions say they were certainly concerned.

So, UF should give up a home game because of a natural disaster in order to play LSU. That is your first point broken down to the most basic logic. The answer is easy and has already been given by the UF admin, No.

The entire premise of your second point is based on UF being scared to play LSU, which is entirely false. Not sure what else to say.

No they don't... the media has pulled a 180 once they found out Florida's beat writer was full of shite.

I love this board! The consent push back. The antagonistic rants and responses! I have been lurking for years! Cheers!

Florida - You do look like a vag in all this! But, you don't lose a home game. You get paid to not play And rest your players. You set yourself up to possibly go to the SEC Ship! This is your Auburn (All In) moment! But you DO look like a bitch for doing it this way... Anyway you try to spin it.

It's not a total loss for LSU. We get an extra week to game plan. We get time off to heal. Put a better product on the field. We have a game to get things ready for the one we all want anyway.Bama. We are going to be just fine. I love the new Spirit our team and our fan base has! It's nice to see. It's been a minute..
