So......you are OK with ALL NFL BOUND PLAYERS NOT PLAYING IN THEIR BOWL/PLAYOFF GAMES?

why not go to the game and be on the sidelines to support your teammates?

Fournette has already signed with an agent. He can have nothing more to do with the team or LSU runs afoul of NCAA regs.

WOW...You have no respect for the college football game. So if you were a U of L fan, you would have no issue with your QB sitting out.

Shaquille O'Neal has an agent. He's always on the sideline during games.

TM7 has an agent. I saw him on the sideline at the Alabama game.

Alex Bregman has an agent. He was on the sideline during at least one game that I saw.

Did these events cause LSU to run afowl of NCAA regs?

Plenty of sideline guests have agents. He just can't be part of the team.

These people have already signed pro contracts and lost their NCAA eligibility.

You are the one claiming he can't be on the sidelines as a guest. You post the rule

He still played. So the doctors cleared him to play and LF chose to do just that.

I see no reason to play the starters in the bowl, frankly. Let's see what one of the freshman QB's can do. We already know what Ettling and Harris can and can't do in a game and don't need to risk injury. Same for Guice and the starting/returning linemen. These guys (at least on offense) won't even be playing in the same system next year.

So i guess we can say were are even.

I say do whatever
If you can't play go work out, rehab, prepare for the next level. Don't waste time standing on the sidelines.

You know what, to heck with it

I think it is a slap in the fricking face to feed a guy 37 carries to break a record LF7 was held back from 2-3 times.

I think LF7 did everything he could for this team. He played hurt the entire year, and what did that get him?

Thanks for Everything Leonard. frick these assholes



All of this. I got no problem with him sitting out...and even not traveling.
