re: Ole Miss RB Judkins to the portal

That's so pathetic. This is literally the first transfer that has really annoyed me because Ole Miss has a great offensive system and is lined up for a special and maybe historical season. And he bails on that? Wtf?

Why?

He knows he's a key player on a program that is obviously looking to go "all in" next year. As a part of that mindset, he's watching boosters throw around big money to transfers from other schools to come in. So he's probably thinking "WTF? I've been here and been one of the best RBs for 2 years. You're giving other guys who haven't played a down for this program big money. Where's mine?"

He also plays a position that is devalued and has limited shelf life at the next level. NFL teams are becoming more and more reluctant to give RBs a big second contract. Even the best of the RBs. So I don't blame him one bit for trying to cash in as much as he can now before his window to so closes.

And I hate to break this reality to you. The fans care FAR more about team success than the players. The players are looking out for their best interest. If that coincides with team success, great! If not, it is what it is because once that window to make money closes, it generally closes forever. An Ole Miss booster is not going to cut him 6 figure checks once he's done playing for Ole Miss.
