Florida AD takes shots at LSU for rescheduling of the game
Last weekend’s game between Florida and LSU in Gainesville was canceled due to Hurricane Matthew.
With neither team having a common open date, there were questions as to whether the game would indeed be rescheduled.
On Thursday, this situation was remedied. LSU will now host Florida on Nov. 19. The Tigers will presumably reschedule their game versus South Alabama. Jim McElwain’s team will do the same in its clash against Presbyterian.
Since LSU will host this year’s game, they will travel to Florida for games in ’17 and ’18.
Florida will visit LSU on Nov. 19, source confirms to @ESPN. LSU will then visit Florida in 2017 & 2018

However, former Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley didn’t sound too pleased as to how this entire ordeal played out:
“The conference office asked us to find a solution in working with LSU, yet LSU was never a true partner in our discussions."–Jeremy Foley

It appears as if LSU wasn’t completely easy to deal with as the two programs worked to figure out the logistics of the game.
The SEC offered some other solutions and LSU administration made it clear that they were unwilling to consider other reasonable options.”-JF

As it currently stands, Florida will now be playing on the road in Baton Rouge — before finishing the season against in-state rival Florida State in Tallahassee.
Where you at on this one LSUSMC???
I’m here. I see no reason for this change at this time, but whatever. The conference could have waited a couple of weeks to see if this game was even going to matter. I haven’t seen comments from Alleva yet, but Foley doesn’t seem happy. I would like to know Sankey’s role in this.
LOL, five straight loses:
Looks like ya’ll are losing the final five games this season for #LSU:
(should’ve just claimed the win like McNeese):
vs. Ole Miss
vs. Alabama
at Arkansas
vs. Florida
at Texas A&M.
I’ll take Alabama over Ole Miss…. oh oh I meant LSU. Sorry, the first one was a given.
What a bunch of damn babies. The truth has finally come out. The Gators are not scared to play anyone, anywhere. LSU is a joke!
What truth? Foley is still a coward that was trying to work the system. When that failed, he was rightfully put in a very weakened position. He caved. The game should have been played Sunday. It wasn’t, because Foley was scared and trying to work the system. Your AD screwed you and the city. You should be glad he is leaving.
Some folks are just too stupid to realize that the game could not have been played on Sunday for the same reason it could not be played on Saturday and it had nothing to do with the weather in Gainesville.
Sure, because everyone else came up with a plan to get the game in, except Foley. The game could have easily been played on Sunday. They played in both of the Carolina’s. No worse here. Playing the role of drama queen is not your nest look. Everyone could do it but Florida. No excuses.
Cry me a river. LSU was willing to play Florida in Gainesville on Sunday or Monday and Foley wouldn’t consider anything but Saturday. Now he’s upset because LSU doesn’t want to give up their home game.
Didnt want to give up a home game? Yea we noticed so we went ahead and gave up two home games…. i smell a beatdown coming all that scared talk is about to catch up to yal like cancer…. Too soon?
We will see in November
I agree it will be a beat down.
LSU 35
Fla 10
That would tell a lot about Tennessee if Florida lost 35-10. Like Bama 52- Tenn 3.
Yea….
And Florida is now giving up 2 home games for your bunch of babies
LSU took the home game because your coward of an AD would not play when he had the chance. Now the coward is near tears as his plan backfired. Too funny.
Your AD is the coward in all of this. May be the worst AD in the conference. Go Gators!
Here Is a big difference in the fan bases. LSU fans are not sheep. We don’t defend our AD when he screws up, like the sheep for UF did. Foley screwed the team, the school, and the city royally. Because of him, UF and Gainesville lost two home games. Yet, all you guys can do is blame LSU. Look within for your problem. Alleva is far from a coward. He is an ass. When Foley played the coward card and refused to play in Gainesville on Sunday, Alleva lost his mind and was determined to make UF pay. He dd.
You don’t defend your AD because he is terrible. He was terrible at Duke and he is already screwing up at LSU.
And good luck to your know coach playing UF in Gainesville 2 consecutive years.
LSU is getting ready to win their fourth in a row against your gators. The new LSU will be concerned about his SEC West opponents. The gators, not so much.
No one outside of gator nation feels bad for the gators. The other Florida schools still managed to play their games and if I’m not mistaken wasn’t it sunny in Gainesville last Saturday
I’m not going to kid you, I feel bad for the team and the city of Gainesville. Neither of those had anything to do with this, and yet, both are paying a price. This was on Foley. The team and the city had nothing to do with this problem. They’re just taking the hit for a cowardly act.
“Yet LSU won and I lost”.
I like Florida as a program, but am happy Foley is going out with egg on his face.
actually going out with schidt onhis face… he’s now running his mouth, showing the real P.O.S. he is..
Really? LSU plays at UF in back to back seasons. In the long run, who will have egg on their face? Who will remember this as a bad move for UF? No one outside of Red Stick.
I am sure your new coach will love that schedule, too.
Alleva was seriously pissed at how Foley would not work with him initially. I guess he was looking for payback, so he played hardball with Foley and the SEC. Very few LSU fans are fans of Alleva. For whatever reason, gator fans seem to love Foley and defended his every move. I never got that.
Spot on
Prob because hes the most succseful ad in college sports history… and it wasnt that long ago UF fans were calling for his job…
He has sucked for a while now. Did you enjoy those Muschamp years? Your basketball team has fallen so far, I don’t even remember the coach’s name. Maybe White, but whoever. The baseball team is pretty stout, so props there.
My preference would have been that they find a way to play the game in Gainesville this season. Alleva was having none of that.
Foley is pissed because his grand scheme blew up in his face…
“…they were unwilling to consider other reasonable options.”-JF” translation, “turns out Alleva isn’t a big pu$$y like Sankey, I figured him to be”….
You don’t have a dawg in this fight. As long as UGA continues to be UF’s b*t*h, you should worry about what’s wrong in Athens.
50-42-2…..’Nuff said.
Helps that UGA won the first 50. Or at least it seems that way. Didn’t Florida beat UGA the year they lost to Georgia Southern?
No we beat 4 teams that year and UGA wasnt one of them but the last 28 games or so are about as one sided as the TN series… UF has won 20 of the last 26….
Haha are you serious. Look at the Last 30 years. UGA can never talk trash to Florida. Treon Harris is even 2-0 against Georgia. Were you alive in the 20’s in 30’s when y’all beat us? What is your record since you have been a fan?
Of course Georgia has a dawg in the fight. Any Florida loss helps Georgia in the division race. No need to worry about what’s happening in Athens, the dawgs have a bright future ahead. Your team was the one trying to back door itself into Atlanta.
Eason passing for 30 yards or so against South Carolina doesn’t seem too bright.
No kidding… funny how bama fans only see the light….
You are an idiot. Kirby Smart is Will Muschamp 2.0. Awful hire. Jacob Eason “the gift from god” just put up the worst performance in 30 years for a UGA QB.
To be honest, with no dog in this fight, I would’ve told LSU to kiss my a$$. Especially since Florida has a better chance of winning the East than LSU does of winning the West. Florida has a chance to win out as opposed to LSU (dude, you lost to auburn and beat miss st by 3) therefore giving up a home game is more crucial. I give credit to Florida for saying screw it, we’ll beat you in your own home. Which they will more than likely.
If you think UF is going into Tiger Stadium and winning this season, I have to question your football IQ. Now you just sound like some bandwagon jumper. I should have known that by the immature screen name. Clever for a 12 year old. Well, a dumb 12 year old.
Please stick around when this happens… too often yal run your D!@k suckers then disappear for weeks.
I’m a huge college football fan. I have been on CBS talking college football for over 15 years. Not all of them were good years for LSU, but there is always something exciting to talk about in college football. I was wrong about LSU Auburn. I heard about it, and deservingly so. I know that because I am so opinionated, that I will hear about every LSU loss, even if I predict it. It’s all in good fun to me.
What was you auburn prediction? LMAO
Foley is still upset that his meteorology skills were exposed. His weather forecast was costly to both schools. The final “solution” (did I really type that?) was as fair as either could get from an unfair situation.
It’s a good thing that this buffoon is retiring. What an incompetent, stubborn moron.
Here’s to hoping Alleva isn’t too far behind.
