No fans, empty stadium, whatever is needed. Get the game done.
It won't happen otherwise. LSU can fly in Sunday and fly back out that night. No hotel rooms taken. No security needed.
Just play the game. Don't be scared.
This can still happen.
The call to move the game to a neutral site or BR was about if fans were going to be there. But, all of that is over and fans don't have to go. The SEC was going to cover LSU's expenses for moving the USA game Nov. 19th. Get them to pony up that money to UF for expenses for this game. $1.5-2M.
The game gets played and we all move on with the season.
Call/email Foley now.

They won't because they are scared pussies.

Listen - UF cannot play. They are too banged up. The game won't be played anytime soon. Let it go.

You speak for LSU huh? Maybe LSU coaches have already planned recruiting trips now since they have a 'bye' week of sorts.

Just give up. It's not going to happen this weekend.

No it can't... not now. Nothing is going to be considered or looked at until at least Saturday when damage to area and infrastructure has been assessed.
You can hope but it ain't happening.

Bro, this is your 12th thread in two days on the game/weather, take a xanax
Posted on 10/7/16 at 7:13 am to AlaTiger
Yeah, why was this game not just moved to Sunday or Monday?

Alleva said they offered this in his press conference yesterday. UF turned them down. So, we know it is possible. That's over 50 hrs from now. It is doable.
Cancel the recruiting trips and get to Gainesville. This thing was cancelled 15 hrs ago and now it can be played. Get on it in some form/fashion.

I'm pretty sure those plans can change and visits rescheduled rather quickly.

Don't forget about fax. Effort is garbage without fax campaign.

And you've been in every one of them a a couple dozen more. Why do you care? You've been loving on Florida this whole time. It is comical.
So, now that everything is okay, just play the game. Why not?
Whoever wins, wins. It is settled on the field and the season moves on. Forget about everything said earlier in the week. Just play the game.
LSU offered to get there all through yesterday and never said they would not come. This is all on U. of Florida. So, now fix it.

I'm not trying to be an arse about this, but don't you think the two sides both tried to get this done? I'm sure both sides are now saying they tried but it wouldn't work.
If the schools thought they could get this done in a safe manner, with taking into consideration hurricane victim's families, then they would be playing, I would think
I am not emotionally invested in the game, but I would hope both sides put forth effort to figure it out. I would have watched it as my noon game tomorrow likely myself

Just play the game in BR. Buy out Presbyterian and South Alabama. LSU doesn't give up a home game or has to deal with a gross A&M, Florida, Arky sandwich on the road. Series returns to the Swamp in '17 and '18.

Florida wants LSU to come to Gainesville Nov. 19th. They won't go to BR that day.

No. Florida slow played this to their benefit then set out a list of demands that were impossible then cancelled. It is the most pathetic display I've seen in the SEC - or one of them. They should have to forfeit if they don't make this work.

No, U of Forfeit doesn't want us to play on 11/19. Brett McMurphy leaked that from a "source". He wrote for the Tampa Tribune for 15 years.....Everyone on LSUs side adamantly denies UF trying to reschedule for anytime.
THEY DON'T WANT TO PLAY THE frickING GAME!!!

Because Foley either had an agenda in mind, or is far less professional and proactive than USCe's AD, who has managed to take care of this situation 2 years in a row without the SEC holding their hands. I don't personally dont buy into the conspiracy theory argument, I just think he was unprofessional and borderline incompetent in the situation.
