Between opt outs and entries into transfer portal, I could see this roster getting decimated.

aren’t all bowl games, except for the playoffs, littered with opt outs? I mean, I used to love bowl season but now, i don’t really care, except for the playoffs.

He'll no we need the practices.

Lot of good young talent that's needs snaps.

many of those players will be gone next year. And I seriously doubt we’ll have our new coaching staff in place.

The “player development” angle for bowl games isn’t nearly what it once was.

Same as a few years ago. Next coach takes over a similar situation as to what BK took over

We are keeping a lot of those young players.

This is dumb. You take the work.

Always do a bowl, always.

If it’s not playoffs, it doesn’t mean anything and I like seeing the back ups or the young players play

Exactly. People who want LSU to decline are way softer than any players they lament about.

That was the benchmark for bad bowl games, but we played it still. It was a terrible game as LSU had trouble fielding a team, and K-State actually was serious about the game. But WR Jontre Kirklin proved to be up to the task, and arguably could have been as good, if not better than Nuss

You cant decline because it's about extra practice days.

Yes everyone is going to opt out, and whoever is left will go to the portal. That is why NIL money must be aligned with performance which includes playing in all games barring injury. You do not play you lose your money. Do not tell me about jeopardizing professional careers; they are already professionals.

Can't decline because it brings money.

I kind of like it still because you get to play some of the young guys more.

Serious?. Because of NIL don’t they have an obligation to play in the bowl games. Curious

The irony of the BK garglers/O haters that have been bitching for 4 years about the bowl game in 21 with "38 scholarship players".

Just wait till this bowl where all the pair mercenaries opt out to train for the draft.
