Since Hurricane Matthew, Gators have turned LSU Tigers into homecoming pussycats

HOOVER, Ala. — Officially, they are known as the Louisiana State Tigers, but to the Florida Gators they might as well be the passive, purring Pussycats of LSU (Little Sisters University).

Ever since the school’s buffoonish athletics director Joe Alleva opened his mouth and tried to shame UF into playing a football game while Category 4 Hurricane Matthew was bearing down on our state last October, the Gators have owned the Pussycats in nearly every athletic endeavor you can name.

The dominance began with the Gators’ dramatic goal-line stand in November to beat heavily favored LSU in the Pussycat Pavilion in Baton Rouge to clinch the SEC East.
