GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Rescheduling the LSU-Florida?game might not be as easy as it seems for the Southeastern Conference.The SEC postponed the game scheduled for Saturday because of Hurricane Matthew, which was bearing down Thursday on Floridas east coast. The league said it will work with both universities to reschedule the game later in the season, if possible.The schools have different opinions on how it should be handled, and ultimately, the league will have to decide.The 18th-ranked Gators (4-1, 2-1 SEC) want to play the game Nov. 19 in Gainesville and offered that scenario during conversations on Wednesday and Thursday. But sources told ESPN and The Associated Press that LSU turned down that offer.Florida and LSU each play nonconference games at home that Saturday and would need to buy out those opponents, South Alabama for the Tigers and Presbyterian for the Gators. LSU (3-2, 2-1) would be on the hook for $1.5 million to South Alabama, and Florida would have to pay $500,000 to Presbyterian of the FCS.Buying out South Alabama would mean the Tigers would end the regular season with three consecutive road games -- against Arkansas (Nov. 12), Florida (Nov. 19) and Texas A&M (Nov. 24).We told the league were 100 percent committed to whatever scenario they can come up with, said Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley. Certainly we dont have a consistent open date. ... Its not as easy sometimes as it seems and involves other games, it involves other teams, it involves television contracts, whatever have you.Whatever scenario they come up with, were going to be in favor of. We want to play the football game.LSU surely would rather not play three straight league games on the road, especially considering the last one, against the Aggies, is during a shortened week. It also would mean giving up a home game and losing revenue for the school and the city.So the Tigers are likely to push for a cancellation of the game.The SEC has an insurance policy that covers lost game revenue for all 14 schools, but its unclear how much it would cover in this scenario.Theres insurance and scenarios and TV and all those type of things, Foley said. Thats why it will be handled in the league. The money is not an issue. Can it be worked out? Those are conversations that you probably need to hold with the Southeastern Conference. If it can be worked out, well be thrilled, excited and ready to play that football game and I know our fans will be, too.LSU offered to host the game in Baton Rouge on Sunday, but Foley said it would be almost impossible to accommodate that request, which we greatly appreciated.Added Foley: To try to put a road trip together of 150-plus people in a day and half, not knowing the condition of the roads, not knowing the conditions of the airports, trying to get equipment out there. Again, not in the best interest of safety, not in the best interest of people that would be involved in that trip. ... People in this state may be dealing with stuff that is far more significant, far more serious. So that really didnt work, either.I really understand the interest in the game, peoples desire to play the game. At the end of the day, we make these decisions based on what matters, and peoples safety is what matters. Thats why the decision was made as it did. It took as long as it did because a lot of moving parts. Chris Pontius USA Jersey . Just not the game.

"Given the way the meeting transpired," Ray Halbritter, an Oneida representative and leader of the "Change the Mascot Campaign," said Wednesday, "it became somewhat evident they were defending the continued use of the name. The Colorado Avalanche got a much-needed win against Winnipeg on Friday, but it came at a price.Leading scorer Matt Duchene is out for Sundays game against the Boston Bruins and could miss a few more games. Duchene took a stick in the eye area in the second period of the 3-2 overtime win over the Jets and is experiencing concussion-like symptoms.He didnt take part in practice Saturday and will be further evaluated Sunday before the 5 p.m. MDT start for the game against the Bruins.Tomorrow will be a big day, see how he comes in and then we can kind of go from there, Avalanche coach Jared Bednar told HockeyBuzz.com on Saturday. Hes day to day at this point, so we just have to see if he feels good and can skate, and then hell probably have to do another test to see if hes able to play or not.Duchene has been centering Colorados top line between Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen. MacKinnon will move to center. Gabriel Landeskog, who skated with MacKinnon and Rantanen at practice Saturday, is expected to take over at left wing for Sundays game.Hes one of our best players and we rely heavy on him, Landeskog said of Duchene to HockeyBuzz.com. Other guys have to step up. Really, thats the bottom line. Matts been playing a lot of minutes in all different situations, but we have a lot of confidence in the group that we have in here. It means that we have to find ways to win hockey games without him.The Avalanche take on a Bruins team that is coming off a 2-1 win at Arizona on Saturday night. Boston has been up and down this season but is encouraged by the play of 20-yyear-old forward David Pastrnak, who is having a breakout season after two underwhelming campaigns.ddddddddddddHe continued his strong play with another goal against the Coyotes, his 10th of the seasonLast year I was worrying about all that stuff...about making a mistake, Pastrnak told CSNNE.com. Now I know Im going to play the right way. The mistakes are going to be there. Everybody makes mistakes. But Im trying to limit them. Im just trying to play the right way every single game.Pastrnak has nearly matched his career high in goals, 15, in the first 15 games of the season. He told CSNNE.com that the work he put in Boston over the summer helped him.The five weeks I spent here working out with the guys from the team really helped, Pastrnak said. Right now I feel pretty good. On the ice I feel stronger and way heavier. So far I feel good and just want to keep it going.He and the Bruins face a Colorado team struggling to find consistency. The three goals the Avalanche scored Friday were their most in six games. Losing Duchene wont help the offense get back on track. Colorado will also be without right winger Blake Comeau, who will miss his fourth game with a groin injury.This groin things been going back and forth for him, Bednar told HockeyBuzz.com. So I think the plan for him is to have three or four good days of skating and when he feels real strong and explosive, then get him in the game, so somethings not acting up on him again. ' ' '
