Are they not keeping score? Does the outcome not count as a win or loss on this season’s permanent record? Are we not wearing LSU helmets and uniforms competing against a different team wearing their school’s helmets and uniforms? Will that competition not be broadcast on national tv? Will the announcers not be uttering “LSU” for 3 and a half hours? Will the “LSU” logo not be permanently pictured for that same amount of time on the screen? Will it be painted in one of the end zones? Will there not still be a bunch of young men who committed to come and chose to play football at LSU over every other school that offered them the opportunity? Have those young men not stuck with the team and busted their asses all year—mostly in the dark while we could not see—and persisted in the face of great adversity?
I should have been more clear...it is definitely meaningless for those with plans to play in the NFL next season.

I knew what you meant, and we’re likely on the same page. Like I said, I don’t begrudge Ferrell, Clark, TDP, or even Logan. I actually think it’s much more of a gamble for the guys like this who are borderline (except for Damone, who is getting drafted no matter what). The other guys have been at LSU 4,5, 6 years. They are old (TDP is for his position) and borderline. An injury to any of these guys is much more catastrophic than it would be for a guaranteed top 1st/2nd round pick.
And the prestigiousness of the bowl game obviously contributes to how meaningful it is. But it is never meaningLESS. EVER. Finishing 7-6 is significantly better than going 6-7. Way more than just 1 game. If Kiner and/or Bradford go for 100+, I just don’t think it’s right right to dismiss performances because the game was “meaningless.” Ya know?
