Matters to me. I love football and want to watch the best players play, not the 3rd string and walkons ive never heard of.


Well let’s just force those kids to play just for your enjoyment.

Bowl games have been around forever and they always seemed to matter up until a few years ago


Hmmmm. I wonder what happens a few years ago that made the bowl games like this.

Could it be the playoff that everyone was clamoring for? We all knew this was going to be a side effect of the playoff.

It’s a commitment and they’re on scholarship


Well that school and coaches can remove that scholarship or “process” a player at any time for any reason.
So if the school can do that, why can’t the player choose to leave whenever he wants.


I’m not saying I like it, be you can’t force these kids to play just for your enjoyment

Lol ok. College sports have always made money for the respective school but the atmosphere has changed significantly in the past 20 years and is now out of control.

Oh and not sure how old you are but I can remember when one TV game a year was huge for LSU. It’s ruined now.

If it’s ruined for you, that’s your problem. I can still watch a meaningless bowl game with walk ons and backups and enjoy it.
Part of me is excited to see what we have going into next year.

So don't let what I say bother you. And yes, I too will watch any damn game that LSU plays. Tell me the shite going on with NIL, portal, opt outs hasn't ruined the ATMOSPHERE that college football used to be.

Bowl games matter the same amount as any regular season game once you're out of the national championship hunt. Really once we had lost a few games at the beginning of the season none of the games really mattered anymore than this bowl game matters. But it does help or hurt your record and to that amount it does matter. Also a bowl game win helps give you positive momentum going into the spring. When you lose a bowl game you look like losers.

You can take your retard bullshite and shove it up your arse.

I know it’s a commitment. The Bowl Invite, and participation, as watered down as it is now, is part of that commitment. Hell I don’t even like them leaving after 3 years.

It used to be an honor to go to a bowl game. Now it is a nuisance.

Exactly. Really in the grand scheme NO GAME MATTERS if we are going to go down that road.

It is frivolous, selfish, and moronic to get upset over a useless bowl. But again you have a ton of morons with double digit IQs on the Rant. The 3 that have opted out did the right thing and if they did play, they would have been almost as stupid as the ranters bitching about them opting out.

Does it matter ? Absolutely! The additional allowed practices almost equal spring football. Damn right it matters, whether a playoff or TX Bowl.
