LSU Prints Wrong Team On Media Passes, Sits Visiting Florida Fans Next To Student Section

The LSU-Florida matchup is reaching unprecedented levels of petty.

LSU hosts the Gators this week in Baton Rouge in what is no doubt a huge SEC game. If you remember, the two schools were supposed to play each other more than a month ago. However, Hurricane Matthew forced Florida to cancel the game at the last minute when various men, women and children were spotted blowing down local streets like tumbleweeds.

LSU had little to no sympathy for Florida, forcing the Gators to lose their home game and travel to Baton Rouge this week. Both schools had to buy out the non-conference opponents they were supposed to play this week (Florida-Presbyterian, LSU-South Alabama) to make it happen. Now, the Tigers seem to be twisting the knife.

No respect, no respect at all! You’re probably thinking, “Well, they clearly printed those media passes out at the beginning of the season and it’d be too expensive to reprint them now,” am I right? The LSU football program is worth $111 million according to Forbes. I’m sure they could find the money for reprints if they wanted to.

But don’t worry, that doesn’t appear to be the only petty move leading up to this now heated matchup.

Via The Advocate:

LSU allotted 4,500 tickets to Florida, about 2,000 less than the school normally allots to visiting fans.

“That’s all they wanted,” [said Brian Broussard, in charge of ticket sales and operations at LSU]. “We could have done more. If they really wanted (the normal amount SEC teams receive), we would have been struggling.”

…

About 100 Florida fans will be located in the north end zone, under the scoreboard and near the LSU student section.”

They had extra space for the UF fans and LSU still threw a hundred of them next to their horde of drunken, Tiger-baiting students who’ll have spent countless hours getting angry gameday drunk on the Parade Grounds? At this point I wouldn’t be shocked if the only bathroom Florida fans are allowed to use in Tiger Stadium is an overflowing, half-melted port-a-potty a blacked out LSU fan had lit on fire the week before.

Good luck in Baton Rouge, Gator fans.

    No sympathy? LSU literally offered them the same thing they did for USC last year (hotel rooms, fly their plane over to bring the Florida players, coaches, and fans over, everything they could have done to accommodate them and Florida just kept making excuses. Fuck that I hope LSU embarrasses Florida this weekend

      Nah, like 90% of that isn’t even close to true. Defending the same institution that just canned a NT winning coach because he didn’t get along with the AD? The same AD that has been trying to weasel his way out of the UF game for years. The same AD who shit the bed at Duke in every sport that Coach K didn’t let him ride the coattails of? Yeah, that fucking guy. The one who didn’t help out his lacrosse team when the DNA tests came back negative. Alleva is a POS and LSU is the perfect fit. WaterTrashU

        Hey man, never but never go full retarded. LSU wanted to move the game and UF just said no and y’all UF fans now making excuses saying it was our teams fault so fuck you. Also, Miles was fired because despite having a NC he blew last year and this year he did shit as well.

        Then why did LSU refuse to play at Florida on 11/19? We had to give you corndog loving ass eaters a home game so you’d stop crying about your schedule.

        LSU is the filth of the SEC. You’re broke and you suck. But hey, I’d be pretty bitter too if the best coach my team ever had ended up at a rival school and whipped our asses on the way to winning national titles every year.

        I think you may be fucked in the head if you think Les Miles is gonna even get CLOSE to another natty with his offensive mindset and clock management skills. He wore out his welcome and people figured him out after a few years. He was a good coach, not a great coach. Your piece of shit team got stomped by the red headed step child of the West, Arkansas (who we crushed btw) and shit the bed vs UT. I wish I could see your reaction when LSU curb stomps UF.

        Alleva is a shitty AD, but LSU had a right to keep their home game. Florida just wanted to duck LSU and try to avoid a game if possible because they didn’t have to play LSU to win that dumpster fire of a division you play in. Guarantee UF has a LOT more losses this season if they were in the west.

    LSU has no fucking class. Look at the interviews with foley and the emails from LSU’s AD. We tried to be reasonable, but they were being assholes for no reason. I can’t see how anyone thinks UF is in the wrong.

      That said, they knew they had leverage since obviously they didn’t stand a chance in the west this year – even at that time, that was obvious and Florida had a shot at winning the east. this game was way more important to them. So, it’s an asshole, but understandable, the way you understand your asshole brother who is dating 6 girls, move. douchebag savage.
