I like how the Pitt QB is in the booth helping call plays rather than helping the guy who got him their on the field. Class act right there!

Why should they put anything on the line for a meaningless bowl game with half assed officiating? All risk, no reward, so I can't blame them for sitting out.

Every one has an opinion don’t get hurt..

Cade.

Cade has a legitimate injury to be fair

I wasn’t being unfair, just answering the man’s question.

Why should they play in any nonconference game the entire season, based on your rationale? Why should they play in any game with half assed officiating? All SEC games have half assed officiating....

Did you see the Pitt backup QB get hurt. Now think about things.

We get half of the pass interference calls go our way that shouldn't have been called... Its a different ballgame... Extended at least 3 drives...

Purdue getting flagged for holding Tillman sets up a 40 yard FG at the least.

Regular season results are more important for pro scouts than the bowls, of course, and we also sit our best players early in games that aren’t competitive. If you’re a senior and you need the bowl game for a team to notice you, you’re in a tough spot (most of those seniors do play). If you don’t need it to be noticed, you’re giving an opportunity for another player to get the spotlight at no personal loss to you, especially if you can use the time to prepare for draft workouts or the senior bowl, which is going to have more scouts than any regular bowl game.

Why should there be bowl games outside of the CFP at all ?

When we recruit SEC level players, they will most likely be sitting out also. Its a new day.

 

[WoodsmanVol]

Thanks a lot.

Don't forget to also thank the sit outs for helping the team make a bowl game in a season no one expected it to.

For those saying we missed Taylor. Go back and look how many times he was burnt over his career. We haven’t had a good corner or corner play in years!!
