LSU athletic director Joe Alleva called the situation concerning the Tigers postponed and later rescheduled game with Florida a joke in behind-the-scenes emails.Alleva also insinuated in emails obtained by ESPN?that members of Floridas athletic department didnt want to play LSU when the original game was postponed due to Hurricane Matthew impacting Gainesville and the northeastern coast of Florida.Officials from both Florida and LSU were already having contentious exchanges over how to make up the Oct. 8 postponement of the game in Gainesville, but Allevas frustrations came to a head when he learned that the Georgia-South Carolina game, which was also affected by the storm, would be moved from Saturday to Sunday of the same weekend. Alleva voiced those frustrations in an email exchange with board of supervisors athletic committee chairman Blake Chatelain.This is a joke, Alleva wrote to Chatelain.Chatelain then replied by asking Alleva if he thought Florida wanted to play as much as LSU did.Would they not ? Chatelain asked in the email.No way if they lost they would lose the east. Their schedule [is] easier than Tennessee[s] if they wanted to play we would be playing here or there, Alleva wrote back.LSU team spokesman Michael Bonnette also called the situation a joke.At the time, Floridas lone SEC loss came to Tennessee, which has since dropped back-to-back league games to Texas A&M and Alabama. Florida was also dealing with injuries at the time, most notably to starting quarterback Luke Del Rio who was recovering from a sprained knee. Backup Austin Appleby was the quarterback during the Gators loss to Tennessee, but Florida coach Jim McElwain later stated that Del Rio would have started if the LSU game had been played on its original date.On the Monday following the postponement, McElwain addressed criticism about whether his team wanted to play LSU that weekend.It shocks me that someone could actually think that way, especially knowing us, McElwain said during his Monday press conference.[There were] 19 deaths [in the United States], 2.5 million people without power. Families in dire needs. Obviously, they dont know me, they dont know the Florida Gators. They dont know our players.Dodging the game? Wow.Days later, resolution finally came when the SEC announced that the game would be played in Baton Rouge on Nov. 19. Both schools would buy out the nonconference games already scheduled on that date -- Florida against Presbyterian and LSU against South Alabama. LSU would also have to play at Florida in 2017 and 2018.Even this conclusion didnt come without more conflict from both sides. As options were laid out, Alleva continued to maintain that he would not give up LSUs home game on Nov. 19 or the Tigers bye week before the Nov. 5 game against Alabama.Late in the process, the SEC found an interpretation of the rules within its bylaws that essentially stated that in order for teams to participate in the SEC championship game in Atlanta, they had to play their eight scheduled league games. With that, Florida conceded, but not before outgoing athletic director Jeremy Foley had some choice words with LSU administrators.It was obvious that they were committed to that position and that it was going to be difficult to change that position, and therefore that we felt the only way to escape an even more difficult situation was to make the decision that we did, Foley said. I think it would have been a huge mistake in my opinion, my staffs position and opinion, [Florida president] Dr. [Kent] Fuchs position, for the University of Florida to draw a line in the sand, and then what would happen? And nothing good would have come out of that. At the end of the day, its time to step up and do what you think is right and go play a football game.The 15th ranked Gators (5-1, 3-1 SEC) play East rival Georgia (4-3, 2-3) in Jacksoville, Florida, at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday. No. 19 LSU (5-2, 3-1) is on a bye as it prepares to host No. 1 Alabama (8-0, 5-0) on Nov. 5. A time for the rescheduled Florida-LSU game has not been announced, but the league has said that the game will kick no later than 3:30 p.m. ET.Information from ESPNs Mark Schlabach was used in this report.Shoes UK From China .

Cheap Shoes UK 2020 .com) - Richie Incognito has reportedly been admitted to a psychiatric care unit in Arizona.When the NFL schedule was announced in April, Green Bays visit to Tennessee on Sunday figured to be nothing more than a tuneup game for the Packers and an excuse for their fans to turn the Titans Nissan Stadium into Lambeau Field South.Well, Green Bay fans could still take over the enemy stadium, but given where the Packers are and how Tennessee has progressed, this looks to be anything but a gimme. In fact, it should be one of the tightest games on the Week 10 card.At 4-4 after a 31-26 home loss last week to Indianapolis, Green Bay is just a game back of slumping Minnesota in the NFC North. The Titans (4-5) fell 1 1/2 games back of Houston in the AFC South after a 43-35 defeat last week in San Diego.Alarms were sounded in Wisconsin after last weeks game when players and coach Mike McCarthy took turns bemoaning the teams lack of energy. McCarthy wasted little time Wednesday squelching that issue in regards to this game.Well play with great energy Sunday. Thats not a concern of mine, McCarthy said. Its a road game, so we have that challenge. Our guys will bring it. Were just paying attention to what matters and its about improvement. We have to learn from last week.Lesson one might be the idea of getting off to a better start. The Packers coughed up a game-opening 99-yard kickoff return score to Jordan Todman and never seemed to fight back until Indianapolis established a 31-13 fourth-quarter lead.Tennessee had its own issues with getting out of the starting block last week. It fell behind 16-0 early in the second quarter and fought back to take a brief 21-19 lead before San Diego regained the lead for good, aided and abetted by two scores off turnovers by quarterback Marcus Mariota.Mariotas game last week screamed mixed bag. While he threw for 313 yards and three scores, and added a 14-yard touchdown run, his three turnovers led to 17 Charger points, more than accounting for the difference.Mariota has made real strides in his second season, but has tossed eight interceptions and lost multiple fumblees, leading to scores that hurt the teams chances of winning.dddddddddddd.Its an ongoing thing for me, he said of working on ball security. It (stinks) when it doesnt come out to work too well during the course of a game, but thats part of it. Thats part of my growing process. Its part of things I can do to get better.One guy whos noticed Mariotas progress is Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who had some of the same issues early in his career before learning to reduce errors.From afar, Ive appreciated his game for a while now, Rodgers said of Mariota. He can do it all on the field. Hes extremely gifted athletically and hes doing a good job of throwing it efficiently. Im definitely impressed with the way hes playing.Rodgers has been dinged by some for not playing up to par, but the former two-time Most Valuable Player is still hitting better than 63 percent of his passes for 2,039 yards with a 20-5 touchdown-interception ratio.Imagine what Rodgers could do if he had the Titans running game. Led by DeMarco Murray, the NFLs second-leading rusher at 807 yards, Tennessee is third in the NFL in rushing, enabling Mariota to take advantage of better matchups than he had as a rookie.But the Titans strength could run headlong into the Packers biggest strength. Green Bay leads the NFL in run defense at 75.8 yards per game.We feel strongly about running the football and how we run it, Tennessee coach Mike Mularkey said. It will be a good test for us.The Titans will get help up front Sunday with the return of left guard Quinton Spain, who suffered a knee injury on Oct. 23 in a 34-26 loss to Indianapolis. Spain sat out the last two games.Meanwhile, Packers outside linebacker Clay Matthews, who missed last weeks game with a hamstring injury and has been hampered by nagging ailments throughout the year, was declared out. The Packers hope to get running back James Starks (knee) back. ' ' '
