LF shouldnt participate in Senior Day. Sets a bad precedent. Youre telling guys like T White and K Beckwith that they arent as important. They made the sacrifice to stay for 4 years, which is what its about, not what youve done for the team. LF can get recognized when he gets subbed for in the 4 th quarter...

Not puppy chasing day, nervous pacing day, sausage casing day or doily lacing day either.

So if u allow Fournette to be a part of Senior Day then you must allow juniors like Jamal Adams as well. Obviously the one's who plan to declare need to get the same fair treatment.

If you asked guys like T White and K Beckwith if they wanted Fournette to walk out with them - 100% chance they would say absolutely.

Why would it be really weird for a junior to not be part of senior day?

This is what I recall from PP7's last game. At some point in the second half they came on the PA and said something to the effect of "Patrick Peterson, The Great All-American". The place went nuts and it was a cool moment and a proper send off. Do the same for LF. PP7 did not participate in senior day and LF7 shouldn't either.

Do we also honor Jamal Adams who has also had a fantastic career?

He gave us just as much/more than the seniors did.


No, he didn't give a 4th year.

then he needs to stay and make that same sacrifice


Let's not fool ourselves. There really isn't the same level of sacrifice for guys like Fournette versus someone that isn't leaving all of that money on the table.

O should let all of the juniors who will likely be departing to be captains. They will get to walk out and be announced and have their moment with the crowd. Everybody wins.

If they only allow a certain number of captains let them all walk out be announced and then send the max number to mid field.

We didn't honor Patrick Peterson, I think it'll be ok if we don't honor Fournette.

If he doesn't participate it doesn't mean LSU won't honor him at some point as he deserves.

He has set records, bring him back at some point when he has an NFL bye, give him a plaque at halftime of a game. Just don't honor him as a Senior when he is not.

He thinks he's faster than me. Like I've told him before, I have never gotten caught by anybody on the football field and he has.

Senior day is for seniors.


How about honor him at the bowl game. I remember the fans chanting for Jamarcus Russel at the Sugar Bowl.

Did LSU ever allow any other greats in other sports or even football to participate in Senior day? No, because it takes away from the men like Kendell Beckwith who came back to play another year at LSU instead of getting paid.

Manieri didt have Alex Bregman out there on senior day.

We are not clemson.

I would be sad if we didn't honor one of the all-time great Tigers in his last home game, simply because he is a junior.


So kind of like a senior participation trophy?

I normally am against people leaving early ,but if Fournette is definitely a high first round pick he has to go. He plays a position that is prone to injury and subject to rather short careers. Go get the money and good luck to you !
