LSU AD Joe Alleva wasn't pleased with the cancellation (Photo: Derick E. Hingle, USA TODAY Sports) Here's the back-and-forth Alleva had with the media on Thursday. Joe Alleva opening statement…. JOE ALLEVA: Thank you all for coming. First my thoughts and prayers go out to all the people in Florida. Here in Louisiana, we know what it's like to go through floods and natural disasters. So our prayers go out to all the people in Florida and our hopes that they are safe and make it through this hurricane well. I just wanted our fans to know and everyone to know, that LSU made every attempt to try to play this game. We offered to go to Gainesville on Sunday. We offered to fly in there Sundaymorning, play the game and fly back Sunday night. We offered the opportunity for them to come here Saturday or Sunday to play the game. We made every opportunity to play it. ============================== we have over a million residents without power, we've had major flooding in the first coast region, the homes and families of 50 guys on our team were in sticken areas, the state's resources are tied up.......and y'all are whining like the pettiest biznitches in the world that a football game got postponed. Sickening. |

-- Starred by: gatorvette1012 Orange and Brew GatorTrekE slide Beachmaster -- “Every man should endeavor to understand the meaning of subjugation before it is too late… It means the history of this heroic struggle will be written by the enemy; that our youth will be trained by Northern schoolteachers; will learn from Northern school books their version of the war; will be impressed by the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors, and our maimed veterans as fit objects for derision… It is said slavery is all we are fighting for, and if we give it up we give up all. Even if this were true, which we deny, slavery is not all our enemies are fighting for. It is merely the pretense to establish sectional superiority and a more centralized form of government, and to deprive us of our rights and liberties.” Maj. General Patrick R. Cleburne, CSA, January 1864 "I yet believe that the maintenance of the rights and authority reserved to the states and to the people, not only essential to the adjustment and balance of the general system, but the safeguard to the continuance of a free government. I consider it as the chief source of stability to our political system, whereas the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded it." Robert E. Lee
