🏈 LSU vs Bama cancelled for this weekend.

[doemasters]

Why not play all of the regular season games this year and not have the SEC Championship game and then the conference might have a better chance of getting 2 teams in

i know the answer is Money

 

[Tidestalker]

Why did we ever dislike this guy?

Because he kind of quit giving a shit about winning a championship about a week before the game... Let the program and his players down in favor of his next move, showing up late & generally having a lack of focus. At least that's how I understood it.

I go off in the woods for a few days and everything turns on its head. Wow at the games being cancelled.

Commish Sankey has a real tough job this year....
Gonna be some tough unpopular decisions....
Hard to keep 14 school administrators, fans, ADs, players, coaches happy

Easy job just make the true bell cow of SEC football happy nothing else matters .

And their schedules are tight....as the rest of ours are..

Big 10 didn't put in a bye week to deal with any potential COVID issues.

"There will be no bye weeks for the 2020 fall season. ... The decision was based on information presented by the Big Ten Return to Competition Task Force. "

So their schedule is even tighter. No make ups, you just lose the game or games.

Lack of QB depth at LSU helped create this mess

Don't they have just as many quarterbacks as us? Brennan, Johnson, and Finley. Jones, Young, and Tyson.

That, and the fact that his team has quit on him. It all made it easier to make that phone call to Sankey and say, "muh numbers! Contact tracing, COVID!" You can bet your ass that had they been sitting at 5-1 or 6-0, not one word would've been said about any positive tests. Easy to use Covid as a "cop out" when your season is a dumpster fire. There were HS's here in the AHSAA that finished their regular seasons having only played 6,7, or 8 games. Their win totals, 0,1, or 2. Easy to fold up and take up gear if you have nothing to play for.

Brennan injured
Johnson covid
Finley starter

The backup to Finley is the punter

That doesn't get an ounce of sympathy from me. I remember all too well seeing Bama start Spencer Pennington and a slew of other backups.

No sympathy here, it's part of the game.

Agree with what @UAgrad93 said, if LSU was undefeated and need this game they'd make it work. They were gifted an excuse.

Condogs chicken

Brandon Avalos ...a true dual threat....he could beat your team or ours

Ed O needs to hand out a few PWOs to some QBs.

Last I saw, LSU had FOUR positives and a high number of quarantined.

What does high number equal? Answer is whatever it takes to get under 53 scholarship players...

14 day quarantine based on contact. Sankey said he's following recommendations.

They're in the 60's when healthy.

The only LSU site I pay any attention to had a good write up on this. Is Anyone Left to Finish This Season?
