TRANSCRIPT:

 

Andrew:                 What’s up, Gator Country? Your man, Andrew Spivey, back with Nicholas de la Torre. Nicholas, finally it looks like we’re going to play football on Saturday in the Swamp when the Missouri Tigers come to town for that 4:00 kickoff for Homecoming.

Nick:                         Hopefully it won’t be like the last time Missouri was down in Gainesville for Homecoming.

Andrew:                 For real. I will say this, Nick. If you just were on the message boards and on Twitter, you would never think Florida was playing a game against Missouri this week.

Nick:                         No. It’s LSU again this week, right?

Andrew:                 Yeah. It’s LSU again. Jack Alleva, or what’s his name?

Nick:                         Joe Alleva. You finally got the last name right, and then called him Jack.

Andrew:                 I mean, I was calling him Jack for a reason, because there was a bad word that was going to come after it. I was going to be nice, since he is an athletic director. The whining has taken charge. We’ll move on after this. We’ll talk about it for a brief second. Come to find out that SEC Commissioner Sankey cannot force LSU and Florida to play. Nick, I’m going to be honest with you, I have already marked it down as the game is going to be cancelled. I don’t see it being played.

Nick:                         I’m with you. It’s kind of a shame, but I think I’m with you right now. I don’t see how the game gets played if you can’t force the teams to come to some kind of agreement.

Andrew:                 The only way, and I’ve been thinking about this today, because I knew we were going to talk about it, the only way I can think it happens is if something was to happen to where the SEC was to change the rule and said, “If Florida doesn’t play LSU, they can’t go to the title game.” I mean, does Florida say, “We’ll bite the bullet and go ahead and go down there?” If it means that or not go to the SEC Championship game? In my opinion, it’s going to take something big like that to happen, because right now no school’s backing down.

Nick:                         Brent McMurphy proposed something on ESPN today. The SEC would end up having to pay the Sunbelt. It would need some Sunbelt cooperation. The scenario resolved LSU’s scheduled November 19th game against South Alabama, moving that to LSU’s bye week on October 29th. That would allow LSU to get its home game, and then still travel to Florida. Alleva has vehemently repeated, “We’re playing a home game. We’re not giving away that home game.”

Andrew:                 Right.

Nick:                         If you move that 11/19 game against South Alabama up to the 29th where the bye week is, saying “LSU, you didn’t play last week, that was kind of like your bye week.” That would open up that November 19th to travel to Gainesville.

Andrew:                 I still don’t think that retarded self of Alleva would do it, because then he’s going to complain.

Nick:                         Still there. So South Alabama would have to move their game against Georgia State from October 29th to November 19th, and Georgia State would have to move a game agai
