Play the game on the 19th. Since lsu has to give up a home game. Have them split the gate money. Or 60/40 since lsu will have to pay out more

UT dragged themselves into it when Butch begged for the game to happen.

With that said UT should beat A&M, and keep a close game against Bama(maybe win) and win the rest and it won't matter.

As previously mentioned there wouldnt be too many first responders available for the game if it were to be played in Gainesville. Also getting people in and out of Gainesville would be rough too.

As far as playing in Baton Rouge goes, would y'all give up a home game(and home field advantage, local business gains, and the biggest recruiting nights) to play away?

I also see LSU's side of not wanting to give up the November 19th game against USA. They'd lose revenues they need for Miles buyout and put money in the bank for their next coach. Plus they'd have to face Florida and the 5 days later have to face A&M.

You lack of contingency plans from your AD is impacting the entire conference.

The LSU AD is whining about local revenue not game revenue -- also Ive read there is an insurance policy that covers game buyouts to the cupcakes so that not really an issue

If telling the truth is being a laughing stock then by all means chuckle away.

Also it's not just the hurricane that's the issue. It's the first responders that WONT BE THERE because they will be at other places.

There are games scheduled that day. Nobody contacted Presbyterian or South Alabama about any change ... sorry not a plan.

Well, it is a plan. They both or the conference would have to agree/decide to do it, followed by the smaller schools being paid buyouts.

It's still feasible, but they or the conference would have to make up their minds on it this month.

They've been here multiple times, actually.

And with what was coming in the direction towards the school, they had to take it seriously.


The big issue sounds more like 1) contingency plans weren't in place, and 2) everyone got too caught up doing what was best for their own constituency...because everyone was just there looking out for their own constituency - there wasn't anyone at a higher level to balancing their wants to maintain the credibility of the game itself.

And their comments were?

Didn't USCjr go play their game last year at LSU with Columbia under water?

Gainesville Police
@GainesvillePD: It's 3:15 and all is well. Emergency Ops Center shutting down at 4pm.

Folks can return to normal with thanks to #MotherNature!

I fail to see how they can't just play Sunday night. There's no way you explain this away if other major games are still happening.

But yet FSU/Miami AND EVERY OTHER SCHOOL in Florida can play. Where are their first responders? Not to mention what GPD tweeted. It's a joke and the florida fans trying to defend it are jokes. The national media are just starting to pick it up. Have fun with that.

But anyway, enjoy your Saturday off, I hear the weather will be great so go outdoors and enjoy that weather.

English is my second language. What's your excuse?

Butch still begged them to play the game. Florida is willing to play the game. LSU isn't. As I said before, on November 19th. Conference insurance would take care of the buyout of USA and Presbyterian.

But you can't play it this Saturday or Sunday because...?? Every other Florida school is playing since the hurricane never made landfall. Alleva said that he tried to get this done on Sunday since you can't play it Saturday for some reason.

Your team and AD are trying to avoid a loss/ get the team healthy.

Let's just dispense with the pleasantries. Florida is a damn low life school ran by low life cheating sons of beotches. They found an excuse to not play their toughest game and they are sticking to it.

These kind of things and their disgusting, vile fans are why I hate that school more than any in the SEC.

I hope Florida loses the rest of their games.

Butch has nothing to do with this, YOU'RE deflecting from the fact that Florida has no interest in playing this game and is doing everything in their power to backdoor into Atlanta. Every single team in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina has found a way to play or reschedule this weekends games with one exception. You guys are a bunch of *******, that's English slang for vagina.

So they want LSU to give up a home game? Sounds familiar.

The SEC needs to come out next week and say the conference will pay the buyout for both parties and the game will be played 19 November on a neutral site. Maybe Jacksonville or Atlanta

I am sure CBJ called UF and pleaded with them to play the game. It sounds legit. He also made love to Ed Orgeron hoping it would help his efforts.
