An unedited picture made its way around that appeared to be then-Florida Coach Jim McElwain naked and humping a shark.

McElwain got PISSED when someone brought this up at a presser.

A severely injury depleted Florida team waited until the last second to postpone its home game with LSU with Hurricane Matthew bearing down on the state in order to have the game played on a later weekend.

The best part of the whole 2016 LSU/Florida postponement and rescheduling is Florida agreed to play the game in Baton Rouge on short notice and then beat LSU in Death Valley with a goal line stand as time expired.



The butthurt on the Tiger Rant was at unprecedented, astronomical levels that evening.

As referenced above, the recurring joke that Florida will cancel a game because of a passing rain shower.

Florida chose LSU to serve as its homecoming opponent, a decision top officials were quick to distance themselves from. Coach Jim McElwain and athletic director Scott Stricklin made it clear they had no say in the selection.

Maybe so, but it doesn't change the reality of the situation.

LSU athletic director Joe Alleva criticized Florida for failing to find a way to play the game that week. With the hurricane approaching, the Gators, Tigers and conference officials discussed potential options 72 hours before kickoff but ended up delaying any decisions a day.

LSU offered to host the game in Baton Rouge, but Florida declined because then-AD Jeremy Foley said it was too difficult to put that kind of trip together on short notice. Foley said his staff believed the game could be played Saturday with a later start time.

The SEC ended up postponing the game Thursday afternoon, and both sides seemed aggravated with how they got to the outcome.

There were reports Foley intentionally delayed the decision because the banged-up Gators could use a bye week to get healthy and thought SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey should have moved the game to Baton Rouge early in the week.

A week after the postponement, and despite Alleva's objections, the game was rescheduled for mid-November in Baton Rouge.

- Urban Meyer faked a heart attack when in reality he just had indigestion and a bad case of the farts after Alabama beat Florida in the 2009 SEC Championship Game.

- Mike DuBose had sex with his secretary, didn't get fired because Alabama was a preseason top 5 team, then proceeded to take that #3 team and go 3-8. THEN he got fired. He spent the entire season saying that every game was in God's hands.

- Tommy Tuberville beat Alabama 6 straight times from 2002-2007. He started holding up fingers each year to show how many games the streak had reached. It was not well received in the Western part of the State. He did not care. He's now a United States Senator!
