I don't much care, but I do care about BS used to justify asinine behavior.

No LSU did not offer to move the game to Sunday or Monday. They offered to move the game to Sunday or Monday IN LSU TIGER STADIUM.

People spouting this crap on Tr about Florida wouldn't do this or that don't know what Aliva wanted or "offered." Truth is, he was a dick of the first order and since he successfully got the USCe game moved to Baton Rouge the previous year without any compromise, he dug in and refused any compromise from Florida expecting to get the same for free.

Florida could not advance guarantee police and EMT services for Sunday or Monday for 80,000 people given the cat-4 storm potential. It may have been fine for a small college, with 5,000 people attending... but not for a major event. This was explained by the State of Florida authorities, not just U of Fla... but then Aliva et. Al went to the press with all sorts of BS charge, repeated ad nauseam by multiple rubes on Tr.

In the resulting negotiations, Aliva was a prefect arse and in the end got what he wanted, another home SEC game. In the process it took the SEC to finally step up and tell LSU to shut up and play. In the meantime, the rest of the conference was pretty disgusted at the machinations of the LSU administration.

Truth is, when Florida beat LSU after all that shite talking, it was the most popular win of the year throughout the conference. And that is saying a lot given the rep Florida fans have.

My problem with my LSU fan friends is that they often seem clueless about how they appear to the rest of the conference. They seem to live in a bubble echo chamber where they are either dominant or the victims of a plot. Florida winning that game was no plot unless the refs cheated.

Now, back to the subject of trolling... have a nice day.
