re: LSU fans - tDecline of a once proud program

How LSU acted last year was a complete embarrassment for your university and state. To act like the year wasn't a complete disaster is delusional. A hopeful undefeated season turned into firing of your coach just to hire his dLine coach. Your fan base is still making excuses that it was "just a couple of plays inside the 10." Admit defeat and move on. Look forward to seeing you in the Swamp this year and next.

Who's delusional? This was UF's decision to make-or not make.

Florida's genius administration, coach and athletic administrators revealed a total lack of gumption and ZERO insight into ramifications of delaying a decision to play with an approaching cat 4 hurricane and the "largest mass evacuation " in the history of Florida. LSU offered team buses and planes, and procured hotels for team and some fans in an attempt to provide a reasonable option to play the game - in BR-with "home teams" flip-flopping for this year and next. The ONLY result of UF putting blinders on without a decision being made would be CANCELLATION of the game. For whatever reason, this must be what UF sought.

But in the end, what the hell is wrong with the SEC? There was little input from Greg Sankey-until it was too late. I'm glad he doesn't have to make life and death decisions. Did they prefer a cancellation as well? LSU's remedy to switch home fields for the next two years was certainly preferable to not playing at all and was really the best solution for a bad situation- unless, of course, if you really didn't want to play in the first place.

How can you forget that cancellation was the only other option to playing in BR? And that was not preferable, at least to LSU.

In either case, you have LSU in Gainesville for two straight years. The pressure is actually on Florida.
