I'm saying what's the problem with him getting money now. Maybe it's best for he and his family to start making money now.


so you are on record as saying any draftable junior should not play in bowl game and should just cash in once the season is meaningless?

I am on record saying that I do not fault anyone doing what they deem best for their career

You and I do it, why should we hold others to a different standard?

I have too and would still support the team by going with if i was in his position. I've had a bum achilles for a month but still go to every one of my team's soccer games....and Im sure as hell not getting paid in a few months.

Agreed that LF7 for all intensive purposes quit. There is no legitimate reason NOT to fly to the bowl game and support his boys. Sure, we all agree that his draft status is paramount now...and getting healthy could mean the difference in millions of dollars. But to just pack up your toys and go home...I dunno...that seems very un-team-like

to be fair, the coach he committed to was fired

and I realize you are supposed to commit to the school, but the coach does have a big impact on that

this isn't HS or some rec league

trying to break Leonard's record--why in the world would they? They were trying to win the game. A game that got too close for comfort, mind you. Hence the giving it to our best player and running out the clock. And there's a much smaller gap between Fournette and Guice than there is Guice and Williams. So of course the superior back was gonna get a ton of carries. Please.


We were up by 21 points with 4:59 left in the game. Last LSU series, Guice runs 5 times for 14 yards. Guice did not have to be running the ball up by 21. He was in to break the record.

There is something going on between LF and Coach O. Makes no difference now. LF wants to move on and Coach O wants to also.

He's not playing because he's been injured all season.

I thought nobody had a problem with him sitting out the bowl game.

In what ways is Fournette not honoring commitments?

Only thing that upset me this year about LF7 was his picture with an Alton Sterling t shirt on. Nothing else.

If I remember correctly Ricky Willians hired a rapper/ agent his rookie year. That's the only reason I posted that.

There are guys on teams not playing bowl games that will be drafted. They already have a head start. Why can't others? Bowls are meaningless. We have heard it since 2011. Every bowl we've gone too people have bitched and moaned about a meaningless shite bowl.
