No way should LSU allow the team to travel to this game. It's not safe

I'll drive over and play myself. I bet I could get 3 yards a carry against that busted up Dline

You guys would love that wouldn't you? It's the only way you're getting a win.

Florida should forfeit if Gainesville is not fit to host the game.

Power could be out, homes could be destroyed, etc.
Well done, Florida, I expect no less.

I mean if LSU had class they'd offer to host this game and flip the 2017 game to Gainesville-- that's a classy gesture, trying to take advantage of a storm to finagle an extra home game-- that's not too classy.
I mean
if you think that is the motive. UF officials are the ones who said it is Gainesville or bust.

It would seem the SEC office should get involved.

How the hell do UF admins think it's possible to play a game less than 24 hours after a Cat 4 hurricane slams into the city? It's fricking insane

Well one good thing here....when this shitshow gets the game cancelled hopefully this will end this stupid set cross divisional game.

This looks worse now for the entire eastern half of the state of Florida than it did at any point this week, but it is Gainesville or bust for the UF administration. Pretty perplexing, but whatever.

Screw UF's unwillingness to consider other options. The Gov of FLA is urging FLA residents to evacuate immediately, UF has cancelled classes and told their students to evacuate. Yet they expect the entire LSU football program to travel from a safe place into the very same area the university is urging their students to leave?

UF would be a laughingstock if they evacuate their campus and require the football team to stay

The insane part of all of this...... UF is now officially closed on Friday. Travel safe everyone that is coming to coming to the game.

Retarded decision. Hopefully no one dies bc Florida puts football above safety.

Do you really not realize that it's not as simple as that? If this game gets moved to BR, then LSU doesn't benefits from a normal home game. LSU, like most big schools, makes anywhere from $3M - $4M per home game. If this games gets moved, they won't make anything. Like they did for SC last year, they will pay for expenses and donate the rest to the other team. Despite that, you want LSU to give up its home game next year?? What you seem to forget is that LSU didn't cause this issue - the weather did. South Carolina and its administration understood that last year, but for some reason, the geniuses at UF seem to think this is all about UF having to play at Tiger Stadium. Let's be realistic, neither UF nor LSU is going to the SEC championship game this year, so any thought that this is some kind of competitive disadvantage for UF is just plain stupid. This game is going to end up getting cancelled because Florida administration is too stupid/stubborn to do the right thing.

I'm so confused. Campus is closed, are they evacuating campus too?

LSU should just not show up. Completely irresponsible to send a plane full of college athletes into a natural disaster. Ignorance reigns supreme in the land of jorts.
