I'm sure you have have. It's been apparent for quite some time that Bama fans take great joy in negative scenarios happening to LSU. Of course, that doesn't speak to the merits of the LSU "melt" whatsoever. Which of course not the concern of the redneck faithful.

meh
melting because your team did something retarded or sucks is way better than melting because another team is completely incompetent

Those purple glasses have their narrative. Under fair and balanced scrutiny LSU is the only one "seeing" it your way.

It's a lose/lose. They can't predict the end results of a category 3-5 hurricane.
If they schedule it for Sunday or Monday and half the state is ripped apart, they look heartless. If they cancel and what happens happened, they look like they do now. As for moving it, I'm sure LSU fans would be up in arms about the idea of playing Florida in the Swamob3 years in a row or moving a game to Bham or Mobile or insert any other city when their families are being threatened by a natural disaster.
This isn't 2005 UA. It's not like these situations are fluid. UF and the SEC made a decision that didn't work out. I'm pretty confident "being scared", wasn't the motive for either side, but hey, that's probably too logical.

there is no other objective way to see it
UF shuffled their feet all week claiming that the hurricane was no big deal while LSU was telling them if they didn't do something it was going to be cancelled
then at the last hour, UF decides the hurricane is a big deal and cancels the game, just like LSU said would happen
there is no other narrative

It sucks. But no. We have already done this before.

Oh yes, the unbiased glasses of the Bama, A&M, and Arky trolls on this board that just so happen to only benefit from the decision.
I listened to a Florida broadcaster on LSU radio yesterday agree that the situation was completely mishandled by Florida. I also listened to Florida and the trolls make the exact opposite arguments Mon-Thurs than they made after the announcement. Having a peanut gallery of SEC Rant Gump and Aggy trolls means absolutely shite to me or anyone else with an adult brain.

You're getting sucked into making too much hay about "being scared." The timeline of events is undeniable and Florida was defying logic and rationale given the circumstances since Tuesday. Logical? You think Florida deliberately seeking to push this game later in the year or have it canceled rather than playing it this weekend is illogical? No, it's absolutely logical and in their self interest.
I promise if the shoe was on the other foot and Florida was put at a competitive disadvantage moving forward as a result of the game not being played, they would have handled the situation differently. If you can't recognize that and that they utilized their leverage to their own advantage in this scenario then you are naive.

Call me an outlier then. From my perspective the handling of this should be an embarrassment to Florida. If it is not then the only explanation is it worked according to plan.

The only other game "in the area" was moved to another date.
ETA it was always going north of Miami.

because UF is playing PR games and the national media is carrying that water by and large
what is the national media going to do? criticize the either scheming of failure of the UF AD while the state gets wrecked by a hurricane? UF knew this would give their decision cover which is exactly why LSU fans were calling it out days ago

All of the other Florida schools, and USC UGA stayed ahead of the storm and made it work.
We have no idea how this will work out. They may regret their decision.
With that, If LA could help provide security, medical staff, etc to Gainesville, not sure why sunday or monday wouldnt work.

Auburn has no room to talk about LSU being pissed to have to juggle our schedule at the end of the year.
In 2004 Hurricane Ivan hit 3 days before the game and even with LSU and Auburn sharing a bye week later in the year, Auburn wouldn't consider moving the game from the scheduled weekend.

In 2004 Hurricane Ivan hit 3 days before the game and even with LSU and Auburn sharing a bye week later in the year, Auburn wouldn't consider moving the game from the scheduled weekend.
quote:
The status of the game remained in doubt until Friday morning as officials in Alabama and Louisiana assessed damage from the hurricane. Auburn officials drew some criticism when they decided to go ahead with the game with thousands of people still without electrical power and coping with the destruction caused by the storm.
Auburn Coach Tommy Tuberville -- who turned 50 Saturday -- was determined to play because he did not want to make it up on his team's only open date, Nov. 6, then have to face Georgia and Alabama on subsequent weekends.

Umm Ive seen fans from many other schools seeing it the same way. You may want to take off your menstrual colored glasses.

I bet LSU fans bitched about that too.

Then why did they posture all week and panic with a decision on Thursd
They we were waiting for updates, and they probably should have stuck to their guns. Everyone seems to be forgetting how upset people were on here every time the decision was delayed. Calling UF irresponsible, reckless, etc. I think UF was ok with waiting and the SEC wanted a decision.

well yeah UF was OK with waiting b/c they avoided the game
we have to separate the 2 concepts
look i'm not ignoring the real impacts of this hurricane on the state. that shite is terrible. hurricanes suck
but the UF AD played a game and "won" with his scheme as it relates solely to this football game
the reason why this seems like bizarro world for LSU fans is that most all of us were calling out this exact scenario, with the exact concerns about the "real" impacts of the hurricane while the UF AD acted like he was ignoring all of those to push his scheme. that's why it's annoying. and then it gets SUPER annoying when the UF AD and many fans (and some in the national media) are using the "real" impact as cover WHEN that was the entire argument from LSU earlier this week
