Twitter reacts to the postponement of the LSU-Florida game

The SEC postponed the LSU-Florida game originally scheduled for Week 6 Thursday due to the threat of Hurricane Matthew in the state of Florida. There is no makeup scheduled at this time.

The game was originally scheduled to be played Saturday at Noon local time. Originally, LSU’s twitter page tweeted that the game was canceled, which many fans still believed even after its corrected tweet was sent out minutes later.

CORRECTION: #LSU game at Florida scheduled for Oct. 8 in Gainesville, Fla., officially "postponed."

Easiest solution for LSU & Florida..bring both to teams Knoxville, Thompson-Boling Arena, and replay the UT vs Florida game on the jumbotron

@finebaum Don't blame UF for not wanting to play at LSU two straight years.
