LSU fan behavior...

After the way LSU fans have behaved regarding the LSU-UF game, if I was UF AD Foley I wouldn't even bother to reschedule the game. I'd do my best to stick it to LSU.
You LSU fans seem to be forgetting something very important in all of this. When it comes to rescheduling LSU needs the game far more than UF does. So all your conditions (it being played in BR, UF has to pay out USA and the loss of home game revenue) are laughable considering it is going to be a negotiation and UF is negotiating from a position of strength, while LSU is negotiating from a position of WEAKNESS.
What does UF gain by the game. UF lost the SEC East last Saturday when UT beat UGA. UT gets to play Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Missouri and South Carolina, those are all wins for the Vols. Yes they will probably lose to Bama and A&M will be a test but I think they beat A&M. Even if UT lost to both Bama and A&M the UF team would have to be perfect from here on out and UF has a tough schedule with UGA and Arkansas remaining.
LSU on the other hand still has a very realistic shot at the SEC Title Game, but not if they piss off UF. To you LSU fans who say don't reschedule unless you get all your ridiculous concessions, lets be honest, are you going to go in there and tell the LSU players that despite all their hard work, they did it for nothing because you all are going to hold a grudge. I seriously doubt that, at the end of the day LSU will cancel the USA game and go to Gainesville. Heck the SEC has said they would pay out the USA game contract, so that's not even out of the pockets of LSU.
The fact is if I was Jeremy Foley right now, I would say we're considering rescheduling. Then if LSU beats Bama, the very next day announce that UF is not interested in rescheduling and that the game will be cancelled. The melt on here would just be so tremendous.

We don't care what you think, really. The shite given to LSU during situations like this and I have not forgotten a lot of the bullshite after Katrina and Rita because I have been around here long enough, was worse than anything given to UF today. LSU has moved games more than once and lost home games. Why should we have to give up a home game and end the year brutally because Foley would not budge one bit?
But you just doing get it, this was a rouse put on by Foley and that sackless SEC commissioner. This was all about them not want to play the game AT ALL if it wasn't in Gainesville, which I agree would have been a bad idea. For a neutral site to not even have been on the table, where all the proceeds could have gone to UF is laughable. Right now UF and the SEC office looks like a clown shown.

Very true. UF negotiated well.
Still cowards.

I never said UF handled this well, they didn't. With that said LSU fans seem like they are entitled to have this game at TS just because the USC game was moved to TS last year.
My guess is UF would've moved the game to TS if the game next year gets moved to Gainesville but I'm guessing you all wanted none of that either.
Again if you all actually beat Bama you will fold and do anything to play UF as you all need the game far more than UF does. Heck if I was Foley I would make LSU pay their own buyout for the USA game if you all want to play UF so badly. Or again just refuse the play and screw LSU out of a shot at going to Atlanta.

Whatever helps you feel credible

Are you going to be the one who has the guts to go into that locker room and tell the LSU players they have been eliminated from the SEC title race in early October because you all are too stubborn to reschedule the game on 11/19?
Whether you like it or not this is the situation and that is your choice. I'd put aside your hatred of UF and the situation and schedule the game on 11/19 for the sake of the players.

You must get punched a lot
You can shift the blame to LSU all you want, but it's UF's fault it got to this point
