Everybody leaving with n chance of going first two rounds adds to his point. These kids are throwing away any chance they have at graduating and having a future after they get cut. And make no mistake over half will get cut. It was a really bad look and OBJ is rightfully get crucified. Banish his arse from the program

Well Kirk is 100% right.

What did the players on the team do that was wrong?

He makes a lot of good points, but the LSU program can’t be blamed for Odell’s ridiculous behaviors. There is no way the coaches knew Beckham was going to behave like an idiot thug.
And yes, Burrow should have used more discretion.

We gonna just act like the team didn't just smoke a frick ton of cigars when it's clearly not allowed?

Look, they deserved it, but let's stop acting like the team didn't go a little crazy on the whole.

I've got zero personal issue with it, but it's dumb to act like it was O'Dell only.

Joe will hopefully be representing the university for years. He’s gonna have a university sanctioned fricking statue made of him. He’s gonna attend many university sanctioned reunions. Is he not allowed to be making money while he does that?

You should be ok with joe burrow murdering someone.

Are you really bashing players who will be drafted into the NFL for leaving? Even if they make the practice squad I guarantee you they will be better off financially than you ever will be.

I love Joe, but what he said was bullshite


But it's not. He has no eligibility left, he is no longer beholden to the NCAA bullshite.

Nothing will come of this other than Herbstreit using it as an outlet to whine because LSU celebrated in front of poor little ol Clempsun

Nothing he said was wrong


LSU didn’t show Odell handing out money like a drunken sailor, the media did.

Burrow graduated from LSU, he finished his career at LSU and he truthfully answered a direct question. Was he supposed to lie and make things worse?

And LSU didn’t do anything Bama or Clemson or anyone else hasn’t done. Herbie is just making us a bad guy. His boys go to Clemson, he played for Ohio State and he kisses Saban’s arse. Do you think he has an agenda?

The fricking NCAA disagrees with you (even though I referred to him as a "booster", implying that I was using a "loose" definition of the term).

My "bitch" argument stands.

THIS is the point that Burrow was actually making that people are not recognizing.

Burrow’s comment about ‘I’m not a student-athlete anymore, yeah it was real money.’ If you care about the program, do you really say that,” Herbstreit said


Burrow's comment definitely rubbed me the wrong way.

No it doesn’t.

Call me when we get hit with any NCAA violations from this. I guarantee we won’t.

He’s not wrong. OBJ brought a ton of negativity LSU’s way. And then Burrow made his first mistake in 2 years by going on a podcast while drunk. That’s a very selfish comment, my eligibility is up, so yeah I took money.

LSU’s program has to clean up this mess. Saying my time is done so I don’t care isn’t a good look.

LMAO. Pretty sure Bama did the same thing after skull dragging LSU on 2011.

Where was Kirk's outrage then?
