BATON ROUGE, La. -- From Ed Orgerons perspective, Thursdays LSU-Florida decision was nearly as perfect as he could have hoped.LSUs interim coach and his team will now host Florida on Nov. 19 instead of playing the Gators on the road, as the Tigers would have done Saturday had Hurricane Matthew not postponed the game.?LSU (3-2, 2-1 SEC) also maintains its open date on Oct. 29 ahead of a Nov. 5 showdown with No. 1 Alabama, which was a key negotiating point to Tigers athletic director Joe Alleva as the schools worked to find a makeup date.I think its great, especially having the open date before Alabama and getting to play Florida at home, Orgeron said after Thursdays practice. I believe its a win, and I want to thank our administration, Joe Alleva. I know he worked very hard at keeping that open date and to have that home game here, so he did a tremendous job.LSU still must play three SEC games in a span of 13 days, first visiting Arkansas on Nov. 12 and then hosting Florida on Nov. 19 before closing the season with a Thanksgiving night visit to Texas A&M on Nov. 24. That will be no easy situation to manage for Orgeron and his coaching staff.Were not going to make it an issue, Orgeron said. Its the task we have at hand, and were going to face that task when we get there, one day at a time, and thats far away. Theres a lot of things that can happen between then, and weve got a couple good teams to play before them.Orgeron learned of the LSU-Florida resolution just before taking the field for practice Thursday but opted against his first impulse to tell his team that the issue had been settled. He is preparing for just his second game as Tigers coach and wanted to make sure that the teams focus was on Saturday against Southern Miss and not on a game that will be played a month from now.I thought it was the wrong time to tell them: 48 hours before game time, [while in] preparation for Southern Miss, and all I preach is one game at a time, Orgeron said.LSU, Florida and SEC officials have engaged in contentious conversations over how to handle the makeup date since they announced the postponement last Thursday. Alleva on Monday insisted that LSU would not give up a home game to travel to Florida on Nov. 19 and reiterated that he did not want to surrender an open date before the Alabama game.Finally, the SEC announced that the schools would buy out nonconference games on Nov. 19 -- Florida against Presbyterian and LSU against South Alabama -- so the Gators could visit Tiger Stadium that day. The conference also announced LSU will play at Florida in each of the next two seasons.LSU will pay $1.5 million to buy out South Alabama, and Florida will pay $500,000 to buy out Presbyterian.The 18th-ranked Gators (4-1, 2-1 SEC) will lose two home games -- about $7.8 million in projected revenue from ticket sales alone -- but likely will recoup some of that through insurance.That was a painful, but necessary, way to solve the ordeal, according to Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley, who spoke at a news conference Thursday.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 SEC statement also predicted that the conferences presidents and chancellors would agree to alter league bylaws to give its commissioner wider authority to solve further disputes such as the one that occurred between LSU and Florida.?Current bylaws state that only the teams that play all eight conference games are eligible for the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta.It was important for us to come to a resolution, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said in a statement. Each university had its own set of concerns throughout the process; however, existing SEC regulations did not provide an avenue to resolve conflicting issues in a more timely manner. As I have repeatedly said, this game needed to be played. In the end, I want to give credit to the University of Florida for making concessions to move this years game to Baton Rouge.Foley said Sankeys authority to act was unclear in this situation and that it will surely be an issue that the leagues athletic directors address at their meetings in December. The ADs have plans to make the necessary changes at the leagues spring meetings next year in Destin, Florida.Obviously, LSU and Florida did not see eye-to-eye on this situation, but also understand the fact that theyre dealing with situations too. Its hard for me to say that right now, but I do understand that, Foley said. And so trying to move schedules around in a short period of time is extremely difficult, and I assure you that Commissioner Sankey looked at a lot of different options trying to make this work. Changing the schedule in midstream is extremely hard.I do think, obviously, unfortunately now that this situation has happened, therell be a lot of conversation on how to prevent it from happening again. I think the lines of authority will be much clearer.LSU is no stranger to having games rescheduled and moved because of natural disasters. In 2005, LSU moved a home game with Arizona State because of Hurricane Katrina and delayed a home game against Tennessee by two days in response to disruptions caused by Hurricane Rita. Last season, LSU hosted a game originally scheduled at South Carolina because of flooding in the Columbia, South Carolina, area. Jerseys NFL Cheap .

LAKEVILLE, Minn. -- In late December, three months after Mallory Weggemann swims at the Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, she will be married in Minneapolis. With the help of a wedding planner, Weggemann worked out every detail, including a walk down the aisle that almost certainly will have everyone holding their breath.Weggemann, 27, is paralyzed from the waist down. She uses a wheelchair to get around. But on her wedding day, shes determined to walk, using carbon fiber leg braces under her wedding dress.A few weeks ago, Chris Weggemann, Mallorys father and an executive with an environmental company, sketched on a dry erase board in his downtown Minneapolis office to show how the braces function. A former architect, he marveled at the mechanics.But, he said, its a chore. Mallory will need specialized training at the Mayo Clinic to develop core muscle strength to move the braces. Chris and his wife, Ann, will accompany Mallory down the aisle, just in case.Oh, and theres one more thing: Mallory plans to stay in the braces for the first dance.It takes a lot of energy for her to stand up and do that, Chris Weggemann said. She does it with a smile on her face, but weve seen the ramifications the day after, because her body takes a toll. Shes got great ambitions on that day, and Im just like, dont crash and burn. Dont wear yourself out. Its a long day.Maybe its too much, But the Weggemann family learned a long time ago what happens when Mallory puts her mind to something.An accomplished high school swimmer, Mallory was left paralyzed following an epidural injection for back pain in 2008, shortly before her 19th birthday. Two and a half months later, after her sister took her to a Paralympic swim meet at the University of Minnesota, Mallory returned to the pool.Between 2009 and 2011 she won 22 international gold medals, three consecutive USA Swimming Disabled Swimmer of the Year awards, and a 2011 ESPY as Best Female Athlete with a Disability. She added 50-meter freestyle gold and a relay bronze at the 2012 Paralympics in London. Mallory holds 15 world and 34 American records.Then in March 2014, a freak accident in the shower at a New York hotel -- the bench she sat on gave way -- left Mallory with permanent nerve damage in her left arm. Unable to move her wrist or grip properly, Mallory lost her hard-gained independence. She couldnt wheel herself, dress herself, drive, or even braid her hair. With one fully functioning arm, swimming seemed out of the question.I had a hard enough time trying to figure out how to live each day, how to do everything each day, Mallory said. I didnt really know how I was supposed to think about getting back in the water and swimming again. That was hard.When I had my paralysis, the way I fought back was, I got in the pool and I swam. Swimming is a spiritual thing for me. Its not just being a competitive swimmer. Its my place. Its my sanctuary. That has been the place that gave me the strength to go and conquer everything else. After my arm injury, I felt like it was taken from me. I thought I had to retire, and that was terrifying.How Mallory puzzled it out, eventually qualifying for seven events in Rio beginning Thursday, reflects her steely perseverance and the support of her family and friends.As a competitor, Mallory may only have one good arm, Chris Weggemann said. But shes got a head on her shoulders that believes she can do anything.First, Mallory needed a new coach to replace Jim Andersen, who guided her through London but moved away. Someone to rebuild her shaken psyche, then push heer.dddddddddddd.That proved to be Steve Van Dyne, a family friend who coached her at Eagan High School. Van Dyne stopped coaching in 2012 to watch his young daughters swim, but told the Weggemanns to get in touch if they ever needed anything.Steve was the savior, said Jeremy Snyder, Weggemanns fiancé and manager.There was a lot to do. Van Dyne never coached an athlete with a disability before. Mallory hadnt been in the pool for five months. The nerve damage also caused occasional uncontrollable tremors in the arm, and when they struck, Mallory couldnt swim at all.We had to get her back into the right frame of mind, Van Dyne said. I still have to drill it into her a little bit even to this day: Youre not exactly the same swimmer as what you were before the arm injury. Then it was really just chipping away, day by day.We were always bringing her back to, where were you six months ago? See the positives and not focus on the arm. If [the] arm hurts, dont practice. Go have a little coffee, talk, figure it out and lets get in the water tomorrow.Van Dyne is, for lack of a better term, a friendly agitator. He and Mallory needle each other constantly, whether on the pool deck at Life Time Fitness in Lakeville, where Mallory trains, or afterward in the club café.Theyre like little kids, Chris Weggemann said. The two of them have a relationship that is really unique. He knows how to push her, right to the edge, not too far. She pushes back, and thats OK. Steve knows how to play her. If he says certain things to her, shell swim faster.Part of that goes back to when she was a kid. You tell her, You cant do that, shell just be, Well, heck, Im going to do it. Thats what Steve plays on. You cant do that. Well, Game on then. Lets go. And -- boom -- she does it.Along the way Mallory endured moments of doubt, especially in April, when disappointing times at the Paralympic test event in Rio made her fear she wouldnt make the team. Van Dyne told her not to sweat it.I wasnt worried, because we were still a long ways away, and I knew what she was capable of, he said. Id seen glimpses in our practices.Three months later, at the U.S. Paralympic team trials in Charlotte, North Carolina, Mallory made the team easily. Even with her arm limitations, Mallory swam a personal best in the 100-meter backstroke and her second-fastest 200 individual medley.When Mallory wheeled herself out of the meeting room after learning she made it, her parents, fiancé and coach were waiting. Even Van Dyne -- Mr. Tough Guy, Mallory said -- couldnt hold back tears.When I say she did the impossible, I dont mean that shes not capable, because she certainly is, said her mother, Ann. But what she did in those two years seemed insurmountable. It was an incredible moment.When first paralyzed, Mallory focused on little victories, regaining small pieces of her independence. That continues. Reworking the hand controls in her car allowed Mallory to drive again. She learned to maneuver her wheelchair without a left-hand grip.The arm remains troublesome, and the pain from training frequently makes Mallory sick to her stomach. But Van Dyne believes Mallory has more medal-winning performances in her.As hard as life can get in certain moments, theres always a way to move forward, Mallory said. We just have to choose to move forward. I knew how to do that. I learned that after my paralysis. I knew I had the strength to do it. I just had to find that again.
