Gator Country brings you a new podcast as we talk about the possibility of the Florida Gators rescheduling their game against LSU, plus start to preview the Missouri game.

Andrew Spivey and Nick de la Torre talk about the negative talk about why the game was rescheduled, plus give their opinion on when the game can happen.

Andrew and Nick start to look ahead to the Missouri game, plus give you a look at some of the injured guys that could return on Saturday.

TRANSCRIPT:
Andrew:What’s up, Gator Country? Your man, Andrew Spivey, here. Nicholas de la Torre. Nicholas, had an off week, unexpected off week, I guess you could say, after the hurricane chasing all week. We had Friday and Saturday off. So back to business. We’re taping this on Sunday, and Missouri week’s here. Nick, I don’t know about you, but I miss Gator football.
Nick:I enjoyed my off week. Spent some time at the bar. Spent some time watching football games. We get paid to watch football. That’s really cool, but normally I only get to watch one game a day, and I’ll miss a bunch of games. Yesterday I was able to watch everything. I watched Alabama/Arkansas, Florida State/Miami, watched Tennessee. You should have seen it. There were some players out at the bar. We’ll just say everyone was watching the Tennessee game very intently, and most of the establishment was very pleased with the outcome.
Andrew:I can honestly say that I was probably the most nervous watching that football game than when I’ve watched a game in a long time.
Nick:The football players were glued to the TV. The way that they were reacting, to me, was hilarious. It’s cool to see though. It’s cool to see that they’re watching, and they’re invested. They know what needs to happen, and they were cheering for a favorable outcome for Florida.
Andrew:I was texting our good buddy, Ryan Brauninger, over at Tex Ags, and I sent him a message on Friday. I said, “For me, would you please take out all of the anger on Butch?” He replied back, “I’ll send it to John Chavis.” I said, “That would be great.” Then when it starts coming back, I said, “Could you please send to John Chavis that this team is coming back, to please stop. Stop now.” He sends it back, and he goes, “We can’t. They have the pixie dust and the voodoo doll.”
Nick:Let’s talk this. We’ll talk about LSU real quick, and then we’ll move on. Commissioner Sankey goes on yesterday during the game and says that the game has to be played. Says there’s no real easy way to do it, but the game has to be played. I was looking back to 2001, and that was when they actually moved the SEC Championship game back a week.
Andrew:Right.
Nick:So Florida and Tennessee could play, that was September 11th. That was a nationwide crisis, so is that an option now when you think about how much money and everything that goes into it? Someone was asking me about moving Florida/Georgia up a week, and I said, “The city of Jacksonville has contracts with vendors, because they do something Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday leading up to the game. You can’t move that game.” I don’t think. Was talking to a guy that covers the Jags and lives in Jacksonville, and he says, “It means so much to the city of Jacksonville, I don’t think you can, especially after what Jacksonville just went through, I don’t think you can not give Jacksonville the opportunity to have that revenue source.” It seems like Sankey knows that this game needs to replayed, so it might be a situation where you force LSU into that November 19.
Andrew:I think you do. I think if you’re LSU, I mean, if you’re Sankey, you put the iron fist. You tell LSU, you’re going to play this game. You have no excuse. I’ll just say it. To the asshats on Twitter, who are coming at this in an insensible way, talking about this was a game that could have been played because the weather was beautiful. The weather was very beautiful on Saturday. Did
