Tell me this guy is not peak Purdue. Wearing his Purdue shirt at the Arkansas State vs GA Southern game last night.

Well now it's highly likely the game won't be played at all. So UF will be losing a home game regardless.
It is pretty clear they using this as an excuse to back into the SEC championship game.
Who else would we start? We've got no one back there. And don't think I'm getting ahead of myself; when I said "miracle", I meant it. I'm still picking A&M to go 7-5 to spare myself from disappointment.

Florida are bitches confirmed. Everyone in the pick'em that chose Florida gets it counted as a loss

Why play the game at LSU?
Just play it some later date.
Just play it some later date.
When? I guess they could play it after the SEC championship game.

This is why our Decided Schematic Advantage Pick Em is so much smarter.
Haha. This is why instead of a random question at the end, I threw in the Iowa/Minny game. Now if 2 games get cancelled...

So who gives up home revenue that weekend? LSU? This also makes LSU play SEC games with only 5 days off. UF on the 19th, and TAMU on the 24th.
Articles like this remind me what a favor Cincinnati did for us when they hired away Tuberville. He's 28-16 overall up there and the movement to get rid of him is still at least 2 years old.
What a beating it was going through the end of year 3 with him, when he had clearly mailed it in on recruiting but was still winning just enough to not get fired. 3 full recruiting classes later we still feel the roster effects of the state he left us in, I can't imagine how bad we would be if he had gotten that one extra year had Cincy not "stolen" him from us.

I agree. I'm wondering if this is the first regular season game for UGA on a Sunday. Will be weird but good to have CFB on Sunday.
Apparently, keeping this at home nets USCe $4.45 million in ticket sales plus has a $7 million economic impact. Most expensive tickets of the year, for USCe.

Of course you would, you are blinded by fandom. Us regular, non-gata folks can see things more clearly and can attest to the fact that Foley is being a coward. Good luck in that potential SEC championship when you run away from a .500 team...

Lol why give a team home field advantage when it's our turn to host them?

How high will LSU and Florida rise in the polls next week since this will go down as a Win for both teams?
AlteredBeast

Home field advantage is largely a myth. Don't buy into that nonsense that it was a reason. I would rather see my team go to an opponent's field than take an unscheduled bye week any time. Win or lose. Tucking tail is what shit P5 teams do to suddenly-good G5 teams that they accidentally scheduled home-and-homes with, only to say "no thanks" when it is their opponent's turn to host.

Top 25 and top 15, obviously. SECSECSEC

LSU also was willing to move it to Sunday.
I haven't read all the details but would that have been at Gainesville? Because I don't think the area/field would be ready in time a day after a hurricane.

Nebraska did this with Pelini for 7 years...
Home field advantage is absolutely not a myth.

it's actually way less prevalent than it was years ago.

Did the first game of pickems already played?
Tonight I think? Nobody cares about Memphis and Temple.
Or Monday apparently.

The difference is negligible at best. Certainly not enough for that to be the reason why they would say no.
Bill Connelly disagrees with you.
First game is Saturday at 10:30am central.
Hmm that's an interesting read
Maybe overall it's not as big of an advantage as it used to be, but at the big schools with big stadiums, it absolutely is an advantage still.
Also the LSU fans that are super salty about losing out on a free home game are embarrassing. Saying shit like "Florida is scared to play us"... yeah I'm sure they are just terrified of the team that just fired it's coach mid season and are canceling because of that and not the damn hurricane.
If anyone should be salty about this, it's Tennessee.
If Florida wins out and goes 6-1, they go to the SEC championship game over a (possible) 6-2 Tennessee.
Of course, it's moot if Tennessee wins out or only drops 1 game, but there exists the very real possibility of Tennessee getting screwed by UF avoiding a potential loss to LSU

Outside of Tennessee, the East is... not so good. Sure, UF could lose to Georgia, but they could very easily win that game as well.
I mean it is pretty clear that is why Florida is avoiding the game. Could have easily played it Sunday or Monday but they want to use this as a way to back into the game. It's also why LSU is so adamant that they play the game if they win out they can't make the championship game if They are 6-1 and Bama is 7-1.
The SEC has complete botched this and the shitstorm that is going to happen if LSU or Tennessee misses out of the championship game because of Florida's weasling will be huge.
In the end I don't think it will matter because I am pretty sure LSU is going to lose multiple games and Florida is probably going to lose to UGA or Arkansas.
