There is literally no way he would or SHOULD play at all in this game


BS. I won't publicly bash a kid individually that decides to opt out, but I think they should all play if healthy. Old school. Buy insurance.

These guys have started training for the combine. You can’t (shouldn’t) train for both the combine and a game at the same time. The combine is way more important than this bowl game, and it’s not even close.

If the bowl game is "meaningless" then so were the games @ Alabama, vs. Arkansas, vs. Western Kentucky, and @ OU. LSU was out of contention for any championship of any kind.

NIL should be paid on a per game basis. You don't get paid if you are a healthy scratch.

They rest of the team will wear non-contact jerseys.

Don't blame Delane at all, Haulcy & Perk should do the same honestly. Nuss is still banged up and owes LSU nothing. I hope Whit is coming back but either way, he has been banged up and has no reason to play in the bowl game and end up hurt again like last year.

I don't care about them in the bowl game but I feel like focus needs to be on getting Whit, Braelin Moore, Aaron Anderson, & Tamarcus Cooley to stay out of the draft.

Delane did everything he needed to coming to LSU. He balled out, and was one of the best, if not the best in the country. PJ and Pickett will be fine.

For sure, just hate that they wasted an all time year from him.

This ain’t 1975 anymore baw. Unfortunately for old folk fans, these kids know how much money they can make in 6 months, and playing in the Texas bowl and getting $200 per diem and a duffle bag won’t move the needle.
