Terrieble if that's what happended. Still it dragged that long because Florida did not handle it well earlier; so it goes back to Florida's AD.
Still like I said before, Alleva in the aftermath did not handle it all that well either. So no one really comes out smelling like roses here.
And I agree with this. I wish they played the game in Gainesville the weekend it was supposed to be played. I'm not sure why LSU fans are mad when it's clear in the aftermath that if it was up to LSU, this game would not have been rescheduled. Florida was proactive in rescheduling the game and LSU did everything they could to throw a fit about the game bejng in Gainesville as scheduled.

LSU did it before, why couldn't Florida?
Alleva warned Foley that it would be very hard to re-schedule it for any other weekend.
Foley was an intransigent bitch who thought he could just dictate terms to LSU. Turns out he was wrong. Maybe next time ADs will have a little more respect for each other in these types of negotiations.
I predict that at next summers SEC meeting, the ADs will get together and come up with a protocol for just such occasions. I can almost guarantee you that the new protocol will look VERY much like what LSU was proposing the week before the storm - as all the other ADs will want to minimize impacts on other games scheduled later in the year.
