I think they should. The only reason it's called Senior day is because back in the day everyone played 4 years before going to the draft (you also couldn't play as a true freshman). That's the only reason it's called senor day. You were certain that this was going to be the last year with these guys, so you honor them. Is there anyone not certain that LF7 is going to declare for the draft at the end of the season? Yeah, I would like to have another year with him, but it's not going to happen. But considering all the good times he has giving us, how he has been such a great representative of not only LSU, but the entire state of Louisiana. I think he's earned the right to be honored.

Take it easy on LF. This is coming from Key, not Fournette. However, I agree senior day is for seniors. If you do it once....you'll have to do it for all declaring youngsters. I appreciate the respect they have for him, but.....

RBWilliams8•94 months

I'm not knocking Fournette but what exactly has he done to be the exemption to the rule? It's senior night. Not senior and a good junior night.

Mulerider•94 months

I thought for sure he was coming back. With all of the injuries he has fallen from top 3 pick to top 5 pick...

BILLFISHER22•94 months

All the more reason to declare. IMO If you're not trolling.....lol

BPTiger•94 months

I agree. He should stay and be honored next year on senior day.

LSUcajun77•94 months

No. he wants to be honored then stay and be a senior. There is a reason they are honored.

monsterballads•94 months

ok time to give the mic back arden. thanks for your opinion.

tigeramongpigs•94 months

As much respect as I have for LF and his accomplishments, he shouldn't be honored in the Senior Day ceremony for obvious reasons.

ppplsu•94 months

NO.

I love LF7, but this is senior day, not juniors leaving early day. Good luck to LF7 and I hope he has a great career.

AtlantaLSUfan•94 months

We can honor him in every way. Honor him in every game. Just don't call him a senior because it's weird.

AlabamasSalaryCap•94 months

No. Don't cheapen senior day.

rob62•94 months

Jey BugatGoat. Screw you. LSU fans have not done anything that LF has "had to deal with" as you put it. You are a troll more than likely but either way go fukc yourself. POS.

rodnreel•94 months

To qualify for being honored at senior day you simply need to be a senior on the team. Sorry but he doesn't qualify. Should we allow the rest of the juniors who might be leaving early to be honored.

TigerSpray•94 months

Only underclassmen would think this up.

RightWingTiger•94 months

Why is this even a conversation? Seems apparent that you have to be a SENIOR to be honored on SENIOR DAY!!!

BUGAtGOAT•94 months

He has delt with enough shite from our terrible fan base he should be honored. He has had more great moments than any other Tiger. There will never be another Leonard Fournette. Honor this man! He had to deal with getting his shite pushed in by Alabama THREE TIMES. HONOR HIM! Why cant we honor the juniors we are certain are leaving before honoring the seniors? Adams and LF should both be honored but it shouldnt take away from the Seniors like Beckwith and White who could have left last year too.

Absolutely NONE of that addresses why a junior should be celebrated as a Senior when he isn't a Senior. This isn't an appreciation for what you accomplished in football. This is a recognition of being a Senior, and finishing what you started academically. It's still an academic institution. If you want a separate recognition for appreciating players who leave early, then fine. Have one, but it still doesn't make a junior a senior.

AtlantaLSUfan•94 months

We honor him daily. We can walk him out onto the field every game that's fine. Bringing out a junior and saying "happy senior day, thanks for being here 4 years" is just weird.

LSUTigah4Life•94 months

Nope...senior day for seniors. A reward and honor for those who stuck with the program to the end.

eugene1928LSU•94 months

Absolutely, nothing else needs to be said, Its called SENIOR day

warlock1974•94 months

Yes, if he also gets invited to play in the Senior Bowl.

Mike da Tigah•94 months

If LSU honors Leonard Fournette on Senior day when he isn't a Senior, what kind of message does that send to other juniors who will not be leaving early but gave everything they had to open holes so that LF could bust runs? What's it say to other juniors who will leave early but won't get recognized as a senior when they aren't a senior either, but I suppose not worthy as LF is? NO... Senior Day is to honor Seniors, not Juniors who leave early. This isn't a very difficult concept here. Not everyone gets a trophy
