    Fournette isn't playing in the Bowl game so he can focus on turning pro.

    Smart move or selfish act?

    I this will be the norm for big time players sooner than later.

    Both. The 2 options you give aren't mutually exclusive. Given that he's missed games due to injury, I can't blame him for trying to protect his pro career, especially with the short shelf-life most running backs have now.

    Smart move, I think.
    Months of extra training time to train for the stupid combine so he can jump high and balance on his toes while reciting the alphabet backward. Really, the combine is crazy.
    Would make me upset if it were a player on USC but I totally understand why he would do it given the way things have gone for him.

    I bet we are going to start seeing more players sit out their 3rd year to not get hurt.

    so Minnesota players boycotting because of suspension of 10 players and threaten not to play the Bowl game. if they don't play pull their scholarships.

    That's the pickle. If they do that they don't have a football team anymore and it will be impossible for a coach to recruit in the future if recruits know the nuclear option has been played. It's hard to pay for that shiny new stadium without a competitive team. As a Purdue fan, I know what happens to attendance when you put a shit product out on the field over time.

    It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
    true but you can't let the inmates run the asylum either. you cannot under any circumstances let them skip a bowl game. i imagine if/when the threat of no scholarship is real the players would end up playing.

    Fournette not playing is the smartest thing he could do. A meaningless bowl game is not going to improve his draft position. And it certainly is not worth blowing out a knee. Good for you bud. Best of luck in the draft

    Big Red pulled it off Wobbie. Thought Memphis would have given them a better fight.

    One of the four HALO jumpers from last night. Hard to get a good pic of them, that's for sure.

    image

    They wer not going to let anything happen at that stadium last night. Full metal detectors and pat downs, they weren't letting you bring much in at all.

    Yes, it sure seems that way, but their D, did do their job when needed last night. But still a very weak defense. Oh well, it was something to do on a Tuesday night.

    Bowls played out much as I thought they would. That Michigan loss was exciting. Ohio State -- 31-0? Didn't see that coming.

    So far the so-called Best Conference isn't quite showing like they are. ACC made them their bitches.

    Still time for Penn State to kick my Trojans in the balls but I don't feel that is going to happen.

    I wont consider Wisconsin taking care of Western Michigan as a big deal.

    To be fair, when you put 4 teams in the New Years 6, your "normal" conference bowls are going to have lesser teams play in them.

    Agree for sure but I was really only considering those top four teams.
