BREAKING NEWS: The Florida Gators have no stones.

So there was a Hurricane on in way heading towards the eastern Florida coast in early October 2016. By Tuesday October 4, it was obvious to everyone except in Gainesville, Florida that the hurricane was going to disrupt life for that area. LSU, Florida and the commissioner of the Southeastern Conference had a conference call where the University of Florida Athletic Director, Jeremy Foley assured everybody on that Tuesday that they were going to be fine, and the game would go on as scheduled on the morning of Saturday, October 8, despite a hurricane baring down on the eastern coast of Florida.

So Wednesday comes around. LSU and Athletic Director Joe Alleva once again reminds everyone that, hey guys, the hurricane is coming. Maybe we should look to play the game elsewhere?  Florida responds no; not because they were looking out for the safety of their kids, but just that the game would be played in Gainesville, and the game would not be moved in any circumstance, and that’s all that matters. Meanwhile, the impotent new commissioner of the SEC, Greg Sankey office stays mum and lets Florida call the shots on when/where this game would be played and failing to show any leadership at all. But never fear, the good intentioned Florida Gators managed to issue a few press releases indicating that the game would go on in Gainesville Saturday morning, with the hurricane bearing down. 

On to Thursday and we are starting to get into a desperate situation. The path of the storm does not change and it is obvious to everyone except Florida AD Foley that the hurricane is coming. LSU has once again posed the question, will the game be moved? Foley responding no; the game will go on in Gainesville as planned, with hurricane on its way.  Alleva and Foley continue to negotiate on the upcoming game which by now is less than 48 hours away and the hurricane less than 24. Then all of a sudden, the shocking announcement on Thursday around 2:20 Central time, word came out that the game was cancelled and would not be played at all. Meanwhile Alleva and LSU offered up the following suggestions to Florida and Foley:

Alleva: How about we play the game Saturday night in Gainesville?

Foley: No.

Alleva: How about we play the game Sunday afternoon in Gainesville?

Foley: No.

Alleva: How about we play the game Monday in Gainesville?

Foley: No.

Alleva: How about we play the game in a location outside of Gainesville, whether that be Baton Rouge, Mobile, Birmingham, Nashville, etc, on any of those three days of your liking?

Foley: No

So, you’ll have to excuse me for being just a bit annoyed the way this entire scenario played but LSU DID EVERYTHING HUMANLY POSSIBLE TO PLAY THIS GAME LAST WEEKEND!!! , and Florida said no to every suggestion. Why?? Because they did not want to play the game.

As we move along through Sunday, Monday, etc, the narrative at ESPN and throughout much of the national media that this cancellation was LSU’s fault. LSU was very adamant that they were not giving up their November 19^th home game and rightfully so. LSU made every effort to play this game when it was scheduled, and Alleva made it very clear that they were not going to be penalized for Florida's actions. And now when I hear more ignorance coming from our clueless main stream media, it kinda set me off to the point where I’m now writing this blog. Many in the media begin trying to paint LSU as the villain for being ‘insensitive’ to the families of the hurricane. LSU was doing just that. We were the ones sounding the alarm as early as last Tuesday to say, hey guys, we may want to move this game, but Florida wanted no part of that. The SEC office just stood idle, doing nothing to facilitate this game played last weekend when it should have been played.

Every other school in Florida and southeast were able to reschedule this game because both parties in all of those other games wanted to play; that wasn’t the case here. Florida did not want to play this game and that fact is somehow lost with the morons in the main stream media. Florida’s starting QB would be out. Florida would be down 3-4 defensive lineman. And it was just a week ago, Florida eked out an ugly 13-6 win against lowly Vanderbilt. LSU on the other hand had a record breaking offensive performance in the week prior racking up a school record against an SEC team of over 600 yards of offensive in a 42-7 rout of Missouri. Florida was going to lose this game. They knew it, so their athletic director stonewalled and did everything possible to insure that this game doesn’t get played, at least not last week.

Florida AD Jeremy Foley is a gutless human being. He gained a competitive advantage by stonewalling the SEC, LSU and everyone to delay this game from being played last weekend so his team could get healthy. The morons in the mainstream media who are crushing LSU for their efforts need to all be fired and find another career, as they lack an understanding of reality and we cannot trust those in the media who have no credibility.

We all know the main stream media is perverted with their adoration for Hillary Rodham Clinton and their objective to get her elected. We all know that ESPN has a liberal bias that is totally disgraceful. When once again the losers in the media, in particular those assclowns at ESPN show their ignorance yet again by painting this LSU/Florida situation as LSU’s fault and Florida as the innocent victim.

For more information on that clown Jeremy Foley, this article from Matt Moscona has a great article to elaborate:
