Exactly. And they wonder why LSU fans are "conspiracy theorists" and "chicken little" and "melt" all the time. If you objectively view the football world from LSUs point of view one would notice how often LSU gets shafted and start to think something is up.

Did all of you fall out of the retard tree this week?
This situation doesnt benefit LSU at all. LSU loses a home game out of all of this and gets nothing in return.
Someone explain this to me this....
Unmolested season -
LSU has home game on 19th 2016 vs. USA
LSU has home game vs. FLA 2017
Molested season -
LSU has home game on 19th 2016 vs. FLA
LSU has road game vs. FLA 2017
Is everybody retarded? LSU lost a home game out of this deal and got nothing in return. WTF?!
...and by the way, we should have been playing a seriously banged up FLA not a healthy fully recovered FLA.

They also got back to back home games against Alabama in 1991 and 1992, because of the expansion. LSU scared as frick to play outside of ts.
LSU has a better record against Alabama on the road than it does at home.

You're a selfish twat of a USCe fan, and your school would probably be embarrassed to see this post from one of its own after all of the support that LSU offered to them last year.

You are ignorant with this post. The real example was several weeks after Katrina which Hurricane Rita which was more powerful than Matthew zapped Louisiana again. We move the game to Monday night with Tennessee flying in and beating LSU is Les Miles first SEC home game. That is the playbook that Foley and Sankey could/should have used.

It really is amazing how many USCe fans have went out of their way to shite on LSU after all LSU did for them. Sad, really.

Last year USC agreed to move a home game to Baton Rouge on the same day as scheduled because of the strain placed on emergency services due to extreme local and state wide flooding.
LSU fans saw this as the only remedy.
This year UF agreed to move a home game scheduled during a hurricane to 6 weeks later in Baton Rouge.....
LSU fans somehow feel justified in this move.
PSA to the rest of the SEC: don't play LSU during a natural disaster involving a hurricane. You will lose
No sir. Dont start. South carolina agreed to move this immediately. It hacked off your head coach by the way.
You and no one else are to blame for your game being moved.

you're missing quite a bit
Please realize that LSU and UT, back in 2005, could not agree to play on Sunday or Monday, and the commish chose Monday. It worked out. Sankey did nothing in this case, and let it get out of hand by dragging his feet.
What you're missing is that LSU offered to fly in and out, same day, on either Sunday or Monday to play AT Gainesville.
Let's not forget that before, LSU fans were saying the game would be and needed to be moved, while everyone on here called LSU fans pussies, including UF fans.
Suddenly, everything happens that LSU fans said would happen, the commissioner and UF drag their feet, have to scramble for a solution, and somehow LSU is to blame.
Gimme a break with the ignorance

LSU offered to host the game. S.Carolina decided, wisely, not to invoke the Foley Rule and accepted the offer. With all the benefits that the Cocks received, the way they were treated, I seriously doubt that any other Cock fan is complaining about the way that game worked out. Fact is, Cock fans were so appreciative that when the flooding hit here this summer, B.R. received truck loads of supplies from not only the State of S.Carolina but from the university itself. You mite ask your A.D. and university president how they feel about last year's game.

it's been weird
quote:
“My first conversation with (Florida Athletic Director) Jeremy (Foley) was on Tuesday. He was confident they were going to be able to play the game. We had a conference call on Wednesday. They were very confident that they could play the game. They thought, maybe, they would have to move the time to later,” Alleva said. “Then, today, it all felt apart. From the very beginning, it just all fell apart.” LSU offered a Florida a slew of things, Alleva said. The Tigers offered to host the game on Saturday or Sunday and would have hosted it on Monday, too, he said. They offered to provide transportation to Florida to Baton Rouge or a neutral site. They offered to play the game in Gainesville on Sunday, when the hurricane would be long through the area. Also in the path of the storm is the Georgia-South Carolina game in Columbia, South Carolina. That game was moved to Sunday, the SEC office announced Thursday night. “I suggested we play the game on Sunday in front of nobody if there was no police available,” Alleva said. Florida declined all of LSU’s options.

I don't have a dog in this fight but I'm tired of all the bitching and self-justification going on by both sides.
1) first real test for Sankey the Yankee: result? EPIC FAIL. Hey Sankey, this is your fricking job, this is what you get the big paychecks for, not to play golf and look pretty. This was not unprecedented nor unanticipated. Everyone saw Matthew coming. Contingency plans should have been made. By the commissioner so that neither side could try and gain advantage from it. He should have set the time and place and told both teams to show up or take a forfeit. He didn't. Now he looks like a weakling and the whole conference suffers. The ramifications of this are endless and none of them are good. Nice going, Greg.
2)Florida- Contingency plans should have been made but weren't. At that point, Foley really had little choice but to take the stance he did. LSU can bitch and point the finger but the reality of the situation was a dangerous and unpredictable storm was bearing down on a part of Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas that was as bad or worse than any they had ever experienced. How quickly LSU forgets how disruptive Katrina was. Imagine trying to play a football game in Louisiana or anywhere the day after Katrina hit. There were more important things to worry about. The fact is, we were lucky Matthew was significantly less destructive than Katrina but nobody could know that for sure. As it was, I was in Atlanta last weekend and there was not a hotel room to be found anywhere near the city. The largest city in the SEC that has handled a Super Bowl and an Olympics barely held everyone. That should give you an idea of the disruption we are talking about. Was it a convenient excuse for UF? Sure it was. Did Foley use it to the fullest? Probably, but he didn't really have a lot of choice. Hindsight is 20-20. If he had agreed to one of LSUs proposals and something bad had happened, he wouldn't have a leg to stand on. I'll give him credit for one thing: he made the call and stuck by it. And he didn't make a big deal of it either.
3) LSU- On the other hand, LSU went low and whined about everything like a bunch of spoiled little bitches to every media outlet they could find. That's my biggest gripe with LSU and Aleva. They are playing the victim here to anyone who will listen and it's really embarrassing. Cmon guys, y'all are better than that! Kudos for trying to find a solution, but trying to do it by winning the PR war was uncalled for. Now you lose a home game. I'm sorry for you. I know that was a big deal but it's because the commissioner didn't do his job. Aleva has been bitching about playing the Gators yearly as your permanent cross division opponent and it appears that Joe is taking every opportunity to throw Florida under the bus. Man up. Yes, Florida is beat up and this gives them the chance to be at full strength. But maybe not. Who's to say they won't be even more injured in November? And don't forget, the best player on the field and one of the best in the entire NCAA also gets the chance to heal. But having #7 back for the Tigers doesn't fit in the "we're the victims here" narrative does it?
Bottom line: Florida, LSU, and mostly Sankey all share some blame here and we all lost something from this situation but what's done is done. STFU and play the hand that you were dealt and make the best of it. Dragging it on is helping no one.
