Purdue Starting QB Skipping Citrus Bowl to Prepare for Draft

10 wins here we come

Texas A&M says hello...

LSU should have beaten Aggie by 3 TDs. So lets not chalk anything up as win....
Its been a great season but that was beyond an embarrassing loss. LSU lost to a team with less SEC wins than Vandy

My point I hope they come ready to play.. 10 wins would be big.

We've not played great against backups lately.

First reply I saw "they added a 9th round?"

We got no shot. No film. No history.

Well that is lame

I hope we beat them by 50. Let's put everyone on blast

10 wins would be a lot nicer than a 3 game losing streak

This is why I NEVER judge coaches on their (non-playoff) bowl records. Nor do I put much stock in a win or loss in those game. The atmosphere surround bowl games vs. regular season games are completely different. Often times in bowl games at least one team, sometimes both, have very little desire to be in the game. And given that there is no great "reward" for winning the game there are always questions of motivation. Many swore Alabama's blowout loss to Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl following the 2013 meant the decline of the Alabama "dynasty". No, it just meant that Alabama didn't particularly give a shite about playing in that game given they had won the NC the last two seasons. End of the dynasty? Not hardly. They reached the playoffs 5 straight years following that loss (the NC game 4 of those 5 years).

Now, with the freedom of transfer rules and star players opting out not being uncommon or viewed as faux pas, the games have become even more meaningless.

I will enjoy watching the Citrus Bowl because it is the last time I will get to watch LSU play for 8 months. But I won't be overly excited with a win, nor overly disappointed with a loss. These games mean much, MUCH, more to the fans than they do to the players and coaches.
