Hold serve and try to keep their home game? They let LSU punk them.

USCe had an open date 10/24
LSU had a bye 10/31 and western Kentucky rent a win on 10/24.

Why not move the bye to the week of the flood 10/10. Then play lsu usc on 10/24. Then lsu western Kentucky on 10/31.

All byes and home games in order. Had this terrible precedent of letting LSU dictate the terms not been set, we would not be in this situation.

In 2005 Hurricane Rita was bearing down on Louisiana as a Cat 5 hurricane. It made landfall on Saturday morning. The game that was scheduled to play in BR that Saturday was moved to be played in BR on Monday.

LSU lost an overtime thriller to Tennessee in Les Miles' first game in Tiger Stadium.

Why couldn't Florida do the same, schedule the game for Monday?

because they weren't making a strategic decision to avoid a loss on the field?

They were not pussies like UF.

LSU did everything possible to try and play the game. UF did everything possible not to.

Because they aren't cowards like UForfeit. I have tons of respect for how they handled things and how we handled things in 2005. UForfeit Gaytards are Cowards and Cheats and will always be known for this.

Their AD actually shows up to work to make decisions, your AD dropped the ball.

So basically the same situation as this year, no common open dates.

Don't worry South Carolina wasn't scared to play

What did LSU dictate?

Because we had no clean water for two weeks. We had no chance of hosting the game and we knew that with enough time to move the game.

It's pretty simple. Don't bring us into this craziness.

because USC realizes its easier to just go to LSU than to force all of this other action to satisfy them

oh and they are not pathetic cowards

Because Spurrier had a nut sack. Something that seems foreign at UForfeit.

nah you guys caved in.... Oct 10 (actual game date)

vs oct 24.... To keep your home game and have more than 2 weeks to prepare to host. Clean water would not have been an issue.

You had a chance to host the game... Just not on 10/10

Your AD didn't explore all options

you people are fricking delusional.

-We offered BR, understandably declined.
-We offered to travel to multiple venues across the country, declined.
-We offered to play the game Sunday or Monday, declined.

Your AD did not want to play this weekend. Just face reality and realize your AD is a fricking coward.

You realize after this fiasco that your AD is a joke to not only everyone in the SEC but the nation now.

no their admins acted like adults and found the most reasonable solution to a bad situation.

Yours took advantage of the situation to give his team a path to Atlanta.

Because all USC wanted was a football field out of harms way.

All UF wanted was an excuse

This will continue to backfire for you. This is a no win situation, but I guess if yall would have played the game, that would have been a no win situation too.

I love UForfeit trying to spin this as them being strong and influential rather than just pussies

South Carolina isn't going to just let you drag them into this.

I don't read this board often.....but are UF fans always this stupid or are they just playing stupid instead of acknowledging the truth?
