Biggest failure of the season. I thought we were on the right path after the Georgia game but has declined since.

I understand it’s a new era and different culture but does anyone here think in 2004 that Carnell, Ronnie, JCam, Rogers any of those dogs are opting out playing VT.

And these frickers are getting paid to be here. I don’t get it and will never understand it. Lost a lot of respect of Simpson yesterday. Dude played the fanbase for 3 weeks. He could go. Got a fricking personal foul not even dressed out. We aren’t talking 1st round draft selections. DJ is what 3rd maybe. Pritchett 4th round, Simp is 4th or 5th, Harris what 4th round.

Being frank they have a higher opinion of their abilities than that demonstrated on the field… NIL contracts are going to cut both ways soon…

Something has to give one way or another. Look at FSU. Ran the tables in the regular season, did not get in so then over 20 players opt out. As a result, UGA curb stomped them.

When bowl games meant something they could be brutal like in the '80's.

Don’t really give AF if they play in a meaningless bowl game. The bowls that aren’t tied to the playoffs are mostly a money-grab to get tourists into local economies anyway.

The Mizzou team had a great culture this season …. great on-field leadership, and it showed during the Cotton Bowl. In crunch time, the team leaders matter.

I felt bad about the game until I learned that many of the players have the flu. A few played anyway which amazes me. I am recovering from the flu and for a week or so it was all I could do to walk to the bathroom. I couldn't have run with a football if the devil himself had been after me.

If they don’t want to play no sense forcing them even - if you could. I’m not sure how effective they’d be if they don’t want to be there or are playing to avoid injury as their primary goal.

I was in the stands when a similar loss to #1 UGA was followed by an historic victory in the Iron Bowl 2 weeks later.


Didn't go quite the same way this year.

A soul crushing loss sandwiched between 2 embarrassing blowout losses.


*Did the team have 'the flu' for New Mexico State too?
