Instead of playing Mel Kiper Jr (I'm guilty of this as well) and analyzing why Toliver went undrafted, how about taking a moment to celebrate all of the contributions he made to LSU football (e.g., the catch and run v. Washington, the clutch grab to win the UF game and his Cotton Bowl performance--saving the best for last). We will miss him and we appreciate the memories.

Toliver has to be hurting right now and we should be lifting him up, not tearing him down. He is about to embark on 4 months that will forever change his life and the biggest part is how he will handle the most adversity he probably has ever been faced with? If he sulks, blames others, etc. he is sure to fail and the Cotton Bowl was his last real game. If, instead, he takes the disappointment and recognizes that he's done some things the wrong way, sets about correcting that and uses this rejection as motivation, then there is a very high probability he makes an NFL roster and gets to prove the scouts wrong. Here's to hoping that Toliver is in the gym at 6 am tomorrow morning with a determined demeanor.

Does no one remember the 4th and 14 catch vs TN???

I honestly think that was more important than the Florida TD

Yep. There are lots of memories to talk about. Toliver was a solid contributor to our favorite football team.

YOU ARE A DICK!
He certainly doesn't have to be too productive to better than 90% of the LSU recivers in the league right now.
Let's see, where are they now:
B Lafell - 400 yards last season, Buster Davis - Is he still playing?
Josh Reed - did he ever do anything in the league worth mentioning? CAREER 115 games 311 caught 3575 yards. He is out.
Doucet CAREER 26 games 57 catches 595 yards. (you think fitzgerald is happy?)
Buster davis Career 26 51 catches 558 yards WITH PHILLIP RIVERS AT QB
D Bowe - 59 275 3768 After 2009/2010 he was on rumors for trade and being cut. Until this season - and even this season in several games he was non-existent.

Good for those games. Happy he showed up. Still dropped too many passes and took too many plays off. Hope he fixes his work ethic
