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.

LOUIS -- Theres no telling how these wacky World Series games will end.FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Bryce Petty was heading home to Texas a few days after the biggest game of his young NFL career to relax a little.With the New York Jets entering into their bye-week break, the second-year quarterback had his game plan prepared.Put the cowboy boots on, hang out with Mom and Dad for a little bit, so itll be good, a smiling Petty said Tuesday after the teams final practice until next week. Kind of get your mind away from things, regroup and be ready to rock and roll when we get back.What that means for Petty is still uncertain. He got his first NFL start Sunday in place of an injured Ryan Fitzpatrick in a 9-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams , going 19 of 32 for 163 yards with a touchdown. But he also tossed an interception with just under two minutes left to seal the defeat.Fitzpatrick is recovering from a sprained left knee and the time off should help the healing process. Coach Todd Bowles hasnt committed to a starter for New Yorks game against New England on Nov. 27, saying hed make that decision next Monday.Im here to play football, Petty said. Again, for me, its control what you can control. And Ive said it before and Ill say it again: To be a good teammate, I have to be a better quarterback than I was yesterday, today. That part doesnt change (despite) whatever is going on.With the Jets struggling to a 3-7 mark and their playoff prospects fading, many fans and media think Bowles should stick with Petty to see if last years fourth-round pick out of Baylor could be the quarterback of the future.Bowles, however, is sticking to his philosophy of wanting to play whoever gives the Jets the best chance to win now. If the coach decides that its Fitzpatrick, that means Petty will go back to the sideline and wait for his next opportunity.Again, those are hypotheticals, Petty said. I try not to deal with that. Control what I can control. Being anxious, the anxiety is not something that I like to feel.You carry on about your business and as soon as you hear something, then you go to bat. Other than that, you try not to think about it.Bowles gave Petty the expected mixed review on Monday, praising him for his poise, understanding his reads and throwing some nice deep balls. The coach also pointed out some hurried throws and missed reads, typical of a player making his first start.After watching the film, Petty agreed with Bowles. He got the Jets off to a nice start, including a 99-yard touchdown drive on New Yorks second possession, but thhe offense couldnt do much more against Los Angeles.ddddddddddddSome good things, some bad things, he said. Again, theres always positives and then construction, I guess, put it that way. There were definitely some opportunities there to make some plays. But, overall, we moved the ball. We just have to finish drives.Quarterbacks coach Kevin Patullo said Tuesday that Petty worked hard on studying the game plan going into the matchup with the Rams and felt he was fully prepared.He did what he needed to do and today we talked about it, Patullo said. So, there is a lot to learn from it, but I think he did some good things in there.Petty injured his right shoulder in the preseason finale against Philadelphia and missed a few weeks of practice time while recovering. Patullo doesnt think that missed time stunted Pettys development in any way.He was constantly with us in the classroom, so, mentally he was always there, Patullo said. He knew the game plan. He knew what was going on with everything there.Physically, obviously, all the rehab and stuff like that, that was probably the only part that he missed and then just being in our huddle, hearing me talk to him and the play calls.But as far as classroom, he was there every day, so, he knew exactly what was going on.For now, Petty will get in some family time, but work wont be too far from his mind.Its hard to get away from it, he said. I love it. Typically, when I watch games, its implementing our plays into things and how that will work. Its hard to get away from football. Its a good thing.Game notesDefensive line coach Pepper Johnson, in one of his few media sessions of the season, opened by saying he wouldnt answer questions about the players in his unit, which has come under criticism lately with the benchings of Muhammad Wilkerson and Sheldon Richardson for one quarter at Miami last week. Johnson wouldnt explain why he declined to talk about his players, and the session ended abruptly. ... The Jets released T Jesse Davis from the practice squad. ... Inspirational speaker Inky Johnson was a guest of the Jets and spoke to the players before practice. Big thanks to (at)InkyJohnson for coming and talking to us today, Petty tweeted . Unreal testimony. Its a privilege to hear you speak. God Bless.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
