re: So post-Katrina LSU gets to host every SEC game affected by hurricanes/flooding?

LSU fans somehow feel justified in this move

LSU fans don't feel justified, we feel screwed over because LSU presented a number of options to play the game last weekend on Sat, Sun or Mon including options to keep the game in Gainesville but were stonewalled by Foley and UF.

Without the schedule alterations:
2016 - South Alabama at LSU
2017 - Florda at LSU

With schedule alteration:
2016 - Florida @ LSU
2017 - LSU @ Florida

We still lose a home game, just pushed back to losing it next year instead of this year. Plus look at our schedule to end the season this year now: vs Alabama, at Arkansas, vs Florida, at Texas A&M (Thurs). LSU didn't want to have to play 3 consecutive SEC road games within a 12 day window, with the last game being A&M on a short week for Thanksgiving night game.

LSU fans feel hosed by this whole situation because it was avoidable. UGA and USC still played their game on Sunday, despite that the hurricane was out of the Gainesville area a whole day earlier than it impacted South Carolina.

PSA to the rest of the SEC...have a contingency plan in place when Sunday's weather forecast shows your school's ability to host a game 6 days later could be impacted by a hurricane.
