Spineless SEC Administration or Fooley Gives LSU Home Game

[OcalaGator83]

The "greatest AD of all time" gets outflanked again.

@GatorsScott: Insurance payouts from SEC, along with other financial incentives, will cover UF's revenue lost from home games not played this season.

 

[Chomper]

Another great football decision by J. Foley, the man who brought you Ron Zook and Will Muschamp. Total F'n sellout. Boooooo!

Season ticket holders can request a refund or a credit will automatically to applied to 2017 season tickets.

Phvck LSU.

That's great, except local businesses bear the brunt. Now they will lose revenue from two home games.

First off, we STILL have boneheads on here questioning the postponing of the original game? Still? JFC.

Secondly, hell I'm just pissed at everyone involved over this decision. Name a combatant and I'm pissed at them.

Thirdly, I don't know whether to just flat out hate Foley for this, or give him some credit for getting it done and also calling out LSU in the process. Now the monkey is on their corndog encrusted backs for being unreasonable.

I've always liked LSU but they can all go phuck a corndog for all I care.

Foley actually now going after LSU saying they did not cooperate in way and would not budge. Looks like SEC said well if no game no SEC Championship game.

Boo hoo. Call their bluff. What a wuss.

So Fooley opts to screw all the fans who had tickets for this home game, and the community area hotels, restaurants, bars as well as dumping that schedule on the players.

This is an absolute killer to some of the small businesses in G'vile.

IDK, I gotta funny feeling a late season hurricane may be brewing in the gulf come Nov. 16-19.
Kate (1985) hit the panhandle one week before Thanksgiving.
It would be effing hilarious if the game actually had to get cancelled twice.

Bravo Foley

 

[Jenny On The Railroad]

Yeah... what absolute horse sh!t.... I always "disliked" LSU.... but from this time forward will add them to my list of "hated rivals".

I liked LSU. As long as that jerk is there, not now.

 

[OcalaGator83]

Trump impersonates Foley negotiating.

 

[williston_gator]

I don't like this.

@BryanDFischer: Jim McElwain line in the UF release: “The Gators never run from anyone or dodge anyone.”

WTF? That has nothing to do with what is right about the location or the reason for cancellation.

Goddammee!

 

[CGgater]

Before this lovely news, all the talk was about lswho losing a home game... as if UF wasn't facing the same problem. I don't mind taking the high road, but Sankey should've acted accordingly instead of rewarding the pathetic bayou crybabies.

I hope the recruits see where they should attend if they hope to learn how to be a man.

You didn't expect anything about this would be equitable did you? LSU had a loaded agenda and their AD pushed it though. Foley is too weak. No match for that approach. Foley's OK with someone who is actually willing to negotiate, but that is not Aleva. The terms of this arrangement have the same feel as the terms of Mushamp's contracts. I guess we shouldn't be surprised after the way those were drawn up.

I think Gainesville hotels were probably fairly full Matthew weekend, plus those people probably ate. So, there's that.

 

[Bait'n Gator]

That horse teeth having mother fcker doesn't even want to win anymore. I hope his dick grows inward tonight.

 

[Captain Sasquatch]

If the SEC delivered an ultimatum that neither team would be eligible for Atlanta if we didn't play this game, then that's some f*cked up sh*t. LSU knows they don't have a gay man's prayer in rural Kentucky of making the SECCG, and while our chances are slim, we can still conceivably make it. That was the only bargaining chip they needed.

On the bright side, we do make out well in the long run. It's just a bitter pill to swallow this year.
