I am being serious with my question. Why not play the game in Gainesville?

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.

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

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.
