A day after the SEC postponed the Florida Gators versus the LSU Tigers, Fox Sports analyst Clay Travis said on his radio show that it is shameful of the Gators to not play the football game.

Scared of losing and falling in the standings, Florida is using #HurricaneMatthew to dodge LSU.

Travis said, “Right now, it seems self-evident to anybody, I think, with a functional brain, that Florida is using the hurricane as an excuse to try to advance their own opportunities to win the SEC East by playing one less game against a top opponent, and that’s shameful.”

Florida QB Luke Del Rio promptly responded via his Twitter:

This is hilariously incorrect and very insensitive to those being affected by this Hurricane @ClayTravis https://t.co/GLklHF4DOx — Luke Del Rio (@Ldelrio12) October 7, 2016

Del Rio took the high road in this case, considering anybody with half a brain knows that the thoughts and prayers of all the players, coaches and admistration are with the entire state of Florida right now and anybody directly impacted by the wrath of Hurricane Matthew.

Considering more than half of the Gators roster is made up of players from areas being directly impacted by Hurricane Matthew, the comment from Clay Travis was not only insensitive but downright ignorant on the part of Travis. Then again, Travis has made a living off of trolling every team in the SEC. So maybe we shouldn’t have been surprised by this one either.

However, ESPN’s Brett McMurphy cited sources, so any time a name is not given we are wary but McMurphy tweeted that he was told by a source close to the situation that Florida reached out to LSU in hopes of moving game to November 19 and LSU refused.

Florida offered to play LSU on Nov. 19 & cancel Presbyterian game, but LSU refused, source told @ESPN. LSU hosts South Alabama on Nov. 19 — Brett McMurphy (@McMurphyESPN) October 6, 2016

In order for Florida to play LSU on November 19 they would have to spend around 500,000 dollars to buy out Presbyterian and LSU would have to pay South Alabama around 1.5 million dollars, according to Ross Dellenger of The Advocate, a Baton Rouge newspaper.

While nobody knows exactly what will happen, we can only hope that both schools along with the respective Athletic Directors and the Southeastern Conference can come to an agreement on when the game should be made up.

But for now, we just hope that everyone stays safe and out of the path of Hurricane Matthew and we continue to pray for those directly impacted by the hurricane.
