Cam Ward, Jaxon Dart, Travis Hunter, Shedeur Sanders. I'm sure there are many more. They are all playing for the pride of their school despite being extrememly high draft picks and not playing the playoff. Our players sit out and are lower ranked than that. Lack of integrity.

Or 1st rounder Milroe. Ward, Hunter, and Sander may be the very top 3 picks as they are on most boards. Walter Nolen for Ole Miss, 1st round, pick is playing too.

It's over half of 1st round picks that are playing in a bowl game that is non-CFP that are suiting up.

Okay how about #1 overall potential pick Cam Ward playing in the Pop-Tarts bowl? or potential #1 overall pick Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders playing in the Alamo Bowl? or Jaxon Dart in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl?

Or Jalen Milroe playing in Bama's bowl? It's still unknown his decision, but family said he's leaning towards leaving. Another 1st rounder who is likely leaving but is playing in bowl game that is non CFP.

You definitely shouldn’t, being that you aren’t actually an LSU fan.

Yes! You quit on the team! I will say it again don’t complain when the fans quit on the team and leave games early! Don’t be a hypocrite!

They've given their time to LSU.

I'm ok with their decision. It's easy for us to wax poetic about what we'd do, but we've never been in their shoes.

View it as an opportunity to watch some new blood.

Or Walter Nolen 1st round pick is playing for Ole Miss too. He's leaving yet playing in non CFP.

Ok. Now list all the players that aren't playing in the meaningless bowl game. If you are going to try to prove your point by naming players who are, let's compare the two list. I guarantee you it's not just an LSU issue.

I love how many fans we have that are 100% clueless about NIL, yet think they know every thing there is about it and how to "fix it."

I rather see the younger guys play. It benefits the team going into the off-season.


Example: Tyree Adams getting the opportunity start and play full game at LT will go a long way. It will answer some questions with that spot.

Nuss needed that bowl start against Wisconsin last year.

My take as well.

The most benefit we can get out of this bowl game is practice for '25.

Lol. Do you actually know how unlikely that is? I’d like to hear the percentage of how “likely” you think it is.
