There is no reason you should be scared to play in a bowl game.

You need to support the school that has set up your career.

Training and practicing well will help you avoid injuries that could alter your career. And if this is a concern now, wait until all the oneness is on the individual in the pros.

Play in the game. Support your school. Play for your team.

Do Bama players sit out in playoff games? It is just a trophy after all...not a career.

I am convinced most of the sitting out threads are just trolling at this point

How do you train not to tear your ACL AND every other ligament in your knee when you’re tackled by a 300 lb lineman low and a 240 lb lb’er up high?

How do you train not to rip your hamstring like that TE from Michigan a while back?

How many players lose NFL careers iver tweaked hamstrings and twisted ankles? None.

Ok...then they should pay back their support somehow...like service to the university.

They are beholden to the institution that brought them up!

Cool rock fact #1: Ice is a mineral, so ice is a rock-forming mineral; ice is a rock.


(That's actually a twofer on factz)

Ok...one guy.

Give me numbers.

Rate of career ending injuries per bowl/exhibition game.

Heck, per reg season game.

While every player can possibly hurt these things, it is a proven fact that flexibility helps reduce injuries and it is easily trainable.

Now obviously it can only help so much, but it definitely helps.

Would you hire someone who just sent a resume and refused to take part in an interview because they thought it would hurt their chances to be hired?

Read This:

Risk Versus Return, simple Financial Planning.

Risk - blowing out a knee and dropping from 1st to 3-4th round. High first round money (7-8 million)plus 70% guarantee. 3-4 th round $400,000 no guarantee

Return - Fiesta Bowl Gift Bag, pat on the back and an atta boy. This is a no brainer...

Rate the number of people that were awarded in draft status due to their bowl game then.
