Bruce Feldman and Tim Brando criticize the SEC's handling of LSU/Florida

So, let me get this straight. Florida is giving up its revenue from one of its 7 home games and sacrificed their biggest recruiting weekend of the year so that.....

This particular team would have a better chance (not even close to a sure thing) of making the SEC championship game where they more than likely would get killed.

Is that it? Do I have that right?

It's not hard at all...the SEC Commissioner only has to clarify to all league members that teams must actually play 8 conference games* in order to be eligible for the championship game and then he can play a round of golf...Florida and LSU will figure out a way to play to game...

In life it's important to understand who really owns the problem. People always want to give to give you their problems and many will actually think their problems are yours.

* From the SEC's website: "The participants of the game are determined each year during the eight-game regular-season conference schedule as the teams with the best overall SEC winning percentage in each division."

That would be hard because the Florida/UGA game is kind of a bowl game. Lots of people plan hotel stays and their schedule around traveling that week. I don't see them moving that game to a different date.

I didn't have an open date.

Your team could have won, crying like a baby isn't going to matter.

I'm not crying, I could give 2 shiites about LSUseless. I'm more pissed at that wuss Sankey. I find it funny though that now you smell a forfeit you seem to be rather unyielding in your opines. I smell fear. you saw the VOLS manhandle the supposedly second best team in the SEC and I think you realize that FL might have just whipped your ass.

I think the perfect solution is to not play the game if the information I heard is true. I heard on xm, that a team that doesn't play their full schedule can't represent their division in the sec. If true, I say "just cancel the game".

Give them a tie and they can go back in the closet.

I know.

It's all an elaborate scheme to make sure Florida goes 8-3 instead of 8-4.

The athletic department is doing all it can to receive an Outback Bowl bid instead of a Belk Bowl bid.

LSU isn't going to be talking with Florida any longer on there own as that serves zero purpose. Whatever the F-tards called the SEC do is up to them.

I don't play football. Yes, you are crying.

I've said along, set the date for Oct 29th, LSU doesn't show up.....Florida gets the W. I'm not sure what you want to hear.

Now. I'm gonna say it again. Your institutions whole damn message has zero credibility if you cherry pick situations which is EXACTLY what UF has done. If you cancel the game due to safety then absolutely no way you put the volleyball team on the bus to Columbia. Yes rescheduling a football game is a nightmare for sure however a volleyball game?! Cmon man. For safety you cancel them all. Period.

Great point because his excuse to not play at LSU this weekend was because of the players families impacted.

Yet the volleyball team was sent off to Columbia yesterday where the Hurricane made landfall and the soccer team is playing Ole Miss at Ole Miss right now.

Agree there should have been some contingency planning in past off-seasons around a scenario like this. UF cancelled an OOC game (or maybe they didn't finish?) a couple of years ago. It was bound to happen that a game that mattered would get cancelled eventually.

There should have been something in place that either allowed the SEC to make the final call or to put pressure on the institutions to get the game played (maybe base the rankings on # of conference wins rather than win/loss record).

The conference win percentage solution is what screws us over if we finish 6-2 and UF finishes 6-1 though. That is the reason for the uproar. Unless you mean win percentage against the east. Which we would still have the advantage in 6-0 to 5-1.

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.

And it wont be moved.

Thanks for the kind words my friend. The thread was solution to the LSU-Florida matchup. Moving the SEC championship game back one week and playing the LSU Florida game on Dec 3 was my point.

Yes, that is the best answer. Let LSU and Florida play on Dec 3. Then we can play the championship game on Dec 10. The Army-Navy game is on Dec 10. So, they won't be bowl game picking until 11th anyway.

Simply go by who has won the most................

Florida can play it or not. Their choice.

Tie goes to us.


sorry if that had already been suggested.

There is no open date before the SECC game. All teams must play on the final weekend of the regular season. The SECC is played the next week. Plus, I believe Selection Sunday (for playoffs and bowls) is the following day, i.e. Dec 4.

The Army-Navy game on Dec 10 has a special waiver because of the tradition of the game. Bowl spots, if applicable, will be held for them.

Greg Sankey, should be fired. Who hired this clown? Syracuse Grad, he's a viable option because he worked in the office for years? He has been indecisive about the LSU-FL game and I for one think he needs to GO!

100% correct.

You guys are really getting riled up and panicking for no reason. UF is going to drop at least two more games, UT is going to beat everyone except Bammer.

There's also still a chance the game gets played. Woo sah.
