re: This opting out BS has to be fixed

Wasn't every bowl meaningless other than the BCS national championship? I don't know why it's only recently that all bowl games other than the CFP seem all of a sudden uninspiring.

I just had so much passion for LSU football when I was younger that if I was ever a player I'd want to represent the SEC, LSU, and beat the hell out of Purdue. I guess players don't play like that, have that pride, or think like that anymore. When Penn St. beat us in the Citrus Bowl in 2010, that mattered to me. It was a damper on the season. Similarly, beating Notre Dame in 2017 in the same bowl would have had us at a very solid 10-3 (6-2 SEC) the same year we lost to Troy, but of course, count on Ed to frick up something as simple as a 1-Yd play with Guice, again...
