How many games will Florida back out of before the end of the season?

I can almost guarantee LSU would do the same thing UF did
Not even close.
LSU 2005 Season:
LSU's season opener against No. 15 Arizona State was originally scheduled as home game for the Tigers, but when LSU offered hurricane victims refuge on their campus, the game was moved to Tempe, Arizona. Things looked bleak for the Tigers early in the fourth quarter against Arizona State when they trailed 17–7. Then LSU's special teams blocked two kicks, a 47-yard field goal attempt and a punt, returning both for TDs to give LSU a 21–17 lead. However, Arizona State regained the lead at 31–28 with four minutes left in the game. LSU started with the ball on their own 9-yard line. Nine plays later, LSU found themselves in a fourth down situation on the Arizona State 39-yard line where JaMarcus Russell threw a 39-yard TD to Early Doucet to take a 35–31 lead. Arizona State tried their own game-winning drive, but they were stopped on downs inside the Tigers' 30-yard line.
LSU's first home game came on prime time against No. 10 Tennessee. The game was moved from Saturday to Monday, September 26 because of Hurricane Rita. LSU had a huge lead at halftime, but the lead slipped away and the Tigers lost the game in overtime.
On October 15, LSU faced No. 11 Florida. Late in the third quarter, the Gators went up 17–14. Then, early in the fourth quarter JaMarcus Russell led the Tigers on a 12-play, 75-yard drive, capped by a 3-yard TD run by Joseph Addai, which put the Tigers up 21–17. LSU's defense took over from there, holding Florida to less than 30 yards the rest of the fourth quarter.
UF is scared.

Exactly. Where are you going to get the vendors, tv crews security, etc in place and have the game ready to go in 3 days? LSU fans are delusional if they think all that can be done. Just like you said where in Florida can they play?

NO way in hell would LSU do what Fla did! We'd have compromised to play the game to keep an even playing field in the conference.

I would have agreed to this.
As long as it meant next year's game would be played in Gainesville.

So LSU offered a free evacuation, but Florida would rather stay there and ride it out.

Cool, I checked the website to reserve, and no availability for 1 room this weekend.
Edit. Doubt the lod cook would cancel reservations and kick people out. It's LSU owned so you never know

Sure LSU offered UF a plane, buses and lodging, but do you know how hard it is to get a team that size to travel. It would require a plane, buses and lodging.

Except that there was more than 3 days given. The discussion started early this week. There was plenty of time. UF STALLED. Intentionally.
Just Admit your team, coach, and administration is a bunch of scared little pansies.

Interesting... South Carolina did it with no issue.... Location changed 2.5 days before the game.

LSU should be more understanding of UF and what went into this hard choice. Much thought and prayer.
Sorry, maybe next year.

I am sure Florida has its own buses and planes and can arrange its own lodging. It is really silly fanbrain y'all think they were scared to play the game.

A Category 4/5 storm is barreling down on the coast of Florida and you think Gainesville will be ready by Sunday or Monday?
You are more delusional than I thought
There were UF fans literally saying that it would be ready Saturday (last night)

Then why did they stall instead of making the move? Everyone in the world saw what was coming for Florida but no UF fans said that it will bend sunny Saturday.
McElwain knew he couldn't win and saw a way to keep an extra Large off the record
