LSU is only responsible for LSU. They have all the home games they can. Sometimes weather causes problems and things have to change. Hurricanes are disruptive... just like floods.
Honestly Florida just went through a hurricane. Gainesville had a game cancellation that they will not get back. They are going to be down 1 home game if the LSU game is rescheduled and they drop Prezby. All of the local businesses will feel that one home game that is gone.
Really not that much difference between the 2 from a local business standpoint.

3+1.5+6.8=11.3 million total.
someone write a check from UF or SEC and it may happen

I will say this: an out of conference game does not generate $15 Million. It does generate a lot of money for the local economy, but not that much. Find some evidence and I will gladly admit I'm wrong.
Its less than 15 million but it is a lot of money.
We actually just did a major study of the impact recently.
quote:
According to Scott, for a typical game in Tiger Stadium the average fan from outside of the Baton Rouge Metro area spends $160.59 in the state with $121.98 of that spent in the Baton Rouge community. Over a seven-game home season, total spending by fans from outside the Baton Rouge area is $62.8 million in Louisiana with $47.7 million of that being spent in the four-parish Baton Rouge Metro area.

Go lie to someone else. This has already been debunked in depth by a meteorologist. The path was actually closer to the coast on Wednesday than Thursday when in took this "drastic turn" that all of a sudden made the game unplayable. It's the same path the entire time and that's why LSU wanted a backup plan and UForfeit did not. Go spread your lies somewhere else.

Because they declined the offer to play on Sunday or Monday.
If they don't want to play the game, they don't get the money.
Now they want LSU to give up a home game because Florida didn't want to play their home game last weekend.
Haven't you been following at all?

Both teams are out a home game. The hurricane was UF's fault?
If you want your home game with USA then fine. LSU should be charged with a conference forefit

At the end of the day, I don't think this thing gets played.
Both schools have their feet in the sand and are not giving in.
The SEC really fricked up here and is gonna have to deal with it. They didn't do anything when it was their moment to shine a week ago
Sankay is praying for a UT win this weekend for sure.
This game is not gonna be played.

A hurricane is an Act of GOD. When the decision was made it was just to unpredictable and volatile a situation so erred on the side of caution. Maybe the game could have been played on say Monday but as the article pointed out there a lot more contingencies that needed to be factored in.
Your right! Cudos to every other University in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina for pulling thier nuts out of Spanky's purse and getting their games done.

I'm trying to follow you hear but this doesn't make any sense.
LSU is not gonna lose a home game, neither is Florida.
We would never be charged a forfeit
We would never go to Floride while losing a home game, regardless of any kind of insurance policy.
That doesn't make sense.

So, according to said propaganda fluff piece...UCF and Tulane decided to postpone their game on Wednesday...when UF officials located less than 2 hours away from Orlando were still insisting that the game could be played in Gainesville as scheduled on Saturday.
In trying to make UF's point, you merely demonstrated what LSU and its officials have been stating was one of the main problems...that UF and the SEC dragged their feet for too long and ended up with a huge cluster F.
Also, there's that little matter of UCF and Tulane having a mutual open date, which LSU and UF don't have.
Face it...you guys are coming off as worse liars than Hillary...and that's BAD.

Florida already has.
Even if LSU goes to Florida on the 19th... Florida has still lost a home game since they will have to cancel Presby.

Fiction: Florida decided to cancel the LSU game
Fact: Foley wanted Sankey to cancel the game. Alleva didn't.

Florida and the SEC got ripped Wednesday and early Thursday for even considering the possibility of playing the game
Wrong. You were being ripped for not putting any contingencies in place. (i.e. planning for a possible change in game time or location) Foley said it himself that playing in BR or a neutral site "was never even a option"
quote:
Fiction: Florida could have played LSU on Sunday
LSU offered to play in Gainsville on Sunday or Monday. What risk was there in tentatively agreeing to play the game on Monday? By late Saturday, (24 hours after HM passes) Foley would have had a better idea on how constrained emergency services were and made a final decision. Knowing what we know now, that final decision would have easily been to go ahead and play on Monday. Again, this goes back to not even bothering with a contingency plan and has nothing to do with the whole well hindsight is 20/20 argument.
I'm sure the debate of UF never wanted the game to begin with will go on forever, but the fact that yall are still trying to spin this to make it look like UF made all the right moves through this ordeal is just laughable. This was sheer incompetence on Florida's part.

Why does LSU have to forfeit when they demand their home game, but UF doesn't have to forfeit when they demanded THEIR home game?
Why the double standard?
Why is this all LSU's fault? LSU laid out several options for getting this game played, UF rejected ALL of them.
frick Florida
frick this game
and frick you.

That doesn't account for the millions lost to local business being it's LSU. USA wouldn't bring much in way of local revenue for LSU just like presby wouldn't have brought much to UF. The SEC needs to cut checks to USA/Presbyterian and to lsu for the lost game and play it 11/19.

The fact of the matter is you don't have some moral high ground in the fact that UF erred on the side of caution in cancelling a football game in advance of a hurricane. It is incumbent on both parties, and that means LSU as well, to find a solution here.

I wish I could up vote this into infinity.
I have been beating this drum with you and will continue to beat this drum as long as the denial of U of F and the national blow hards continues.
I have come across a few Florida fans that acknowledge it, but they are the exception.
