He’s not going to be here in 2025. The redshirt was and is pointless.

There’s absolutely no way to know that at this point.
But what we do know for a fact is that Texas Bowl 2021 was meaningless.
You don’t burn a redshirt for a Texas Bowl, period. Whether he’s here in 2025 or not, it was the right and only play.
I know Nuss admirably framed it as his and his family’s decision, but I have zero doubt Kelly and Woodward told him “you ain’t burnin your redshirt on this game.”

It was a selfish and shortsighted decision.
Look at it this way he isn't likely to be around for 4 years.
If he's as as good as HE thinks he is he'll jump to the NFL ASAP.
If he isn't there will likely be some hot shot new recruit that will beat him out and he'll jump into the portal.
Bowl games have meaning in that the players get extra practice to get better and the all important real time game on the line experience rather than mop up duty.

We do know. He’ll either play well in 2023 and leave early, play well in 2024 and leave, or transfer.
There is a 0.0% chance he’s here in 2025.
2025 is the only reason for redshirting. So no, if he’s not here in 2025, it wasn’t the right decision.

I was good with it then and I am good with it now.
It was the grown-up decision to make. It was painful at the time but the long-term benefits were well worth it.

Selfish fan.
He needs to maximize his potential for himself.
If he needs that RS year due to development, or whatever, he should take it whenever he can.
Burrow: 3y grad, 2y starter.
There are too many examples of this where he may go lead some team to a hell of a season and earn himself millions in the process.
Not everyone has a restaurant/real estate/yacht hunting and fishing empire to fall back on after 6 years of trying to football.

Okay, if you say 0% so be it.
You know as well as I that it’s not 0%. Even if it’s 0.000001% you don’t burn the redshirt in a meaningless bowl game where the coach was just fired. The potential for a possible full extra year (whether at LSU or anywhere) far outweighs one meaningless game.
You’re probably right .. he probably won’t be here in 2025. But the odds aren’t 0%. And any odds over O% I’m taking over a Kansas St Texas bowl. And the actual odds that he’ll be here in 2025 are probably closer to 25%.

Made the right decision. The bowl game practices were under an interim coach and a bunch of GA’s. New coach was bringing in a new system.

WTF has that to do with Nuss?
The long and the short is that his team needed him and he turned his back on them.

Team didn’t give a crap that he didn’t play. His teammates love him.

They're not storming the beaches at Normandy, bruh.
They're here to play ball and hopefully make money doing that later.
By all accounts he's the biggest cheerleader on the sidelines so GFY with all that shite.

You are right.Players need to do what suits them best personally rather what helps the team.
Oh dopey me.

Thanks for recognizing your obvious shortcomings. Therapy is working.

In certain situations. The precedent has already been set that non-playoff bowl games are meaningless as dozens of players sit out these bowl games every year. Not much different here.

Well that’s just like, your opinion, man.
Posted on 12/6/22 at 6:34 pm to Gray Tiger
You really believe that burning an entire season for one meaningless game hurt the team?
What if he threw 4 picks and we have the same outcome?
Was that worth burning a full season?
Are we just assuming that Nuss playing would’ve gotten us the win? It’s not like he was lighting it up last year.
Some of you guys are so short sighted, it’s crazy.

He easily could have redshirted THIS year if he hadn’t burned it last season.

That’s easily said now knowing JD transferred and did well this season. There was no way to know that would happen Dec 2021
Either way, we’re good, they made the right decision. Nuss will have an extra year here or elsewhere if he wants it.

Or, he could've played in that bowl game, balled out like he did against UGA in the second half and Kelly doesn't go after Daniels in the portal and we go into this season with Nuss as the starter?
That’s a really good point, and this would have been such a better season for it
