Regardless of your culture, if you went undefeated, won your championship game in what is supposed to be a major conference, beat 2 teams in the most difficult conference and then told you don’t even get a chance because your QB got hurt… even though Alabama won the damn thing just a couple years ago with a backup QB?
Ya, as a player I would be like frick all that bullshite too and not give a frick about the bowl game.
So why didn't Auburn quit in 2004? They went undefeated in the toughest and deepest power conference, won the SEC Championship Game, and got left out of the national championship game in favor of USC and Oklahoma. Did any of them rage quit? No. They all showed up and beat Virginia Tech in the Sugar Bowl.

You must be joking. Were the kids who didn’t play in the bowl game for FSU even alive in 2004?
Times change. Attitudes change, and things that once brought harsh criticism now come with a pass and an atta boy.
I agree with your thoughts on this but trying to compare todays players with those from 2004 isn’t the way to go.

To be fair, in 2004 quitting wasn’t really an option either. Unless you wanted to lose your scholarship
