I have followed the ins and outs of this trainwreck.

Couldn't Florida host that weekend since they are able to play the game?

Seems like an unexpected advantage for LSU.

Stop already. We have fixed the leak on the Tiger Rant and corralled most of them back in there. Don't keep pulling on the fences.

BR needed the dough. We obliged this year in return for two straight home games in 17 and 18 so it evens out.

It was the best solution available given the circumstances after the postponement due to the Hurricane.

Because Alleva said we are playing a game in Baton Rouge on 11/19 and that's final.

it was in BR because we refused to play 3 road games in 12 days. So the easy solution was put game in BR so that way it only effects LSU and UF. Any other combination would require multiple sec teams to move their games around.

So its either LSU plays 3 road games in a row and short week, or we play a home game and get a short week like we had planned.

It will be badass next year going to multiple road games though

Because Joe Alleva told Foley and Stankey to eat a bag of dicks for being incompetent/fearful.

Well, JA got pissed that JF said "This game will be played in Gainesville" He was closed minded to the wait and see idea of playing Sunday or Monday. He drew a line in the sand.

JA became close minded about losing a home game, and said frick you Foley and Sankey, play it in Baton Rouge, or stfu.

There you have your answer.

Because BR is in the middle of a massive recovery after the flooding and needed the home game for the boost to the economy. Also LSU would have 3 road games in 12 days vs SEC teams.

FL now gets an amazing home schedule next year which their fans deserve after this year's home slate.

Goes back to normal in 18

Foley ducked LSU the first time. Sankey was incompetent. LSU said to frick off. Foley and Sankey were forced to pull their cheeks apart. The End

LSU said they tried to play last weekend and Florida declined all options.

To play any other time in Gainesville, LSU would have to buy out a game and lose revenue from a home game. LSU said they wouldn't do it, but they would play if UF wanted to lose the home game revenue.

UF was kind to take a revenue hit this year. LSU was kind to give UF next year's home game.

Sankey is a weak leader and a whiner.

Foley is an idiot for running his mouth about LSU not being flexible.

Now you are caught up.

Because LSU has to make everything as difficult as possible and Alleva was trying to do something to save himself.

Now the LSU fans love him and will be accepting when he hires Yaw yaw full time.

Because when you act like complete wusses and refuse seven reasonable offers to get the game in, all because you are playing for time to heal your banged up team, you shut your sissy arse mouth and play where you are told.
