Because of the way UF handled the situation. They refused to meet with LSU to negotiate the relocation of the game. They purposely waited until it was impossible for the game to be played as scheduled to make a decision and it costed LSU two home games. UF's campus was already scheduled to be closed the days before and the day of the game but the AD purposely delayed making any decisions.

Besides all of that, the worst part is that UF accused LSU of being selfish and greedy because of their attempts to have the game played as scheduled and the media backed UF's pettiness up. On the day of the game both teams had a fight because of the of the situation and it was obvious that Coach McElwain used it as petty bulletin board material. Regardless of the outcome of the game, UF was unprofessional and that isn't lost on any LSU fan.

So you were a part of the negotiation process? Didn't the SEC commissioner commend UF on the way they handled the situation?
