Florida has also refused to reschedule the game on multiple dates that LSU has provided. You gonna make one team forfeit but not the other?

Why didn't UF agree to schedule the game on Monday, and that way buy some more time to see what the effects of the storm would be?
This is making the assumption that the SEC and the other involved parties are OK with postponing the decision and then still further postponing/cancelling if the storm was severe enough.
No question rescheduling to Sunday or Monday would have been preferred, but what indication is there that a further delay in the decision was OK?

Why was UF so adamant about Saturday or not this weekend?
I don't think UF was a adamant about noon on Saturday as you suggest. All indications on Thursday from within the AD was that at very least the game would pushed back until later on Saturday.

here is an example
why are you so fricking stupid?

As the SEC hasn't provided LSU with a viable option for making the game up, I'd say its not LSU's fault we weren't able to fit the game in.
Every scenario so far involves LSU being penalized for UF being threatened by a hurricane. That is unacceptable. I don't think UF should have to lose any more games either. I don't think this game will be played.

Fact: The SEC has a new lost-revenue insurance policy that went into effect this year. LSU reportedly makes $3 million per home game, and insurance would cover that. It already has to account for one Florida home game. That policy — or the league itself — also may be able to pay the Nov. 19 contract buyouts for the Presbyterian (Florida) and South Alabama (LSU) games, which would be less than $2 million in total.
The point that our AD was making is it does not make up for the lost of funds for local businesses.. He stated the community deserved this home game on November 19th.

You have made it clear you don't consider those thoughts valid reasons for postponing.
They don't address my point of delaying the decision to cancel the game until Saturday morning which a tentative Monday night time slot would have allowed.
Nor do they address the fact that it's all been done before.
Why is Florida pretending that this is some sort of special situation? Several schools have been affected by hurricanes in the past and have worked out solutions. Florida was simply intransigent.

The bottom line is the game needs to be played.
I know there are some that want to blame Florida(for losing a huge home game with a ton of big time recruits, I might add), but the real problem is dealing with the insecurities of Alleva. He's been under fire for over a year. He is "The Search" to use his own words and now he is like a petulant child, trying to rally his fan base around him like Sultan Erdogan after the coup attempt.
He's really gonna try to make this impossible and play the victim.

Ok and you made it clear that you don't feel my points addressed yours on the other thread. I already told you we can agree to disagree.
Again, I addressed the poster trying to pass an opinion of his as fact and you chose to chime in.

How do you think LSU's win percentage should be viewed
I cant speak for everyone, but I personally don't care about the winning %. I already had chalked up this season to a lost cause because we have to L's currently- so it wont hurt my feelings any to let this be a big ol' black eye to the conference, and to florida for letting this situation play out like this.

It's weak sauce to claim Florida was inflexible with a C5 hurricane bearing down. The fact that LSU demanded to play within 48 hours of landfall when there was so much uncertainty ne=gates your argument. Hard to work out a solution when the other party is all "my way or the highway"

this is spin and you know it. the game could and should have been postponed until sunday or Monday and the final decision made when the hurricane passed through.
Foley played the chicken shite commissioner by saying, and this is a FACT, that the game would indeed be played on Saturday at 11AM. the asshat KNEW the game would not be played when he said that.
all of this spin to make LSU look like an equal party in this abortion is just that; spin. Foley played his game to gain advantage due to massive injuries and the idiot running the SEC office took it hook, line and sinker.

Now you're reaching for a specious point. Let's just say that the game was rescheduled until Monday. Saturday morning is the last reasonable time to finalize preparations. If the storm was just devastating the entire Eastern Seaboard, yes, it would've been cancelled, just like the rescheduled UGA/USC game would have been. Everyone would've been okay with that, NO ONE would have insisted on playing the game Monday night if there was devastation everywhere just because it was re-scheduled for that slot.
Don't be an arse.

I never suggested it. I've not once said "Noon on Saturday". He was INSISTANT on Saturday. Why?
Why not entertain a Monday kickoff?
It would have been the REASONABLE thing to do.
