2. As I wrote in a column over the weekend, shame on LSU Athletics Director Joe Alleva for trying to embarrass the Gators into playing a football game in the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew. ""All I could do was offer opportunities and plead and beg to make it happen," Alleva told the Baton Rouge Advocate. "… We were willing to go there. We had a plane. We had buses. We were willing to go. That's my point I want to make here: We were willing to play the game. We would have done anything to play the game." One word for Alleva's actions: Pathetic. You'd think being from Louisiana he'd know the ramifications of a potentially catastrophic storm. And good for UF Athletics Director Jeremy Foley for cancelling the game in what could have been one of the most devastating hurricanes in state history.
