LSU and Florida should be cancelled on Saturday

Here is one plea to the SEC: Please cancel LSU’s game with Florida next week.

Yes, Todd Grantham and Bo Pelini would probably thank you for it. Their defenses are bruised, beaten and battered, and their fans aren’t very happy.

Dan Mullen – who weirdly still wants 90,000 people to risk their lives to pack The Swamp for the LSU game because Texas A&M overfilled their own student section for their own game – won’t thank you.

But here’s the big one: Florida has had 19 positive cases on its team. A few members of the team have ignored their team’s protocols, hit a few Gainseville bars and parties, and all hell has broken loose. And now – as COVID tends to do – has reared its ugly head.

Florida has stopped practice in an effort to stop the spread, but why hasn’t the SEC postponed the game to December 12th, when SEC teams have the week off?

If I’m LSU AD Scott Woodward, I would be lobbying the powers-that-be with some gusto, because why would LSU want to be reinfected? Ed Orgeron claims that his whole team has it, but why should they go to The Swamp and risk it all again.
