LSU's side. It's the only one WE should all be on.

Those aren't fans. It's a life decision for a player. Not really the same thing hoss.

I like it. If they leave early, they are scum. I don't want to hear "business decision" or "protecting themselves". If you say this you are just a blind lemming following the narrative that has been fed to you.

Interesting comparison.

For the record, I stay until garbage/run out the clock time of all games.

If my child had a full ride plus benefits at LSU I would probably stay until they turned off the lights if LSU asked me to. I might even help them start cleaning the stadium.

If players bail out early then you can too

I wouldn't buy a ticket to leave early. It makes no sense to me. But some people have more money than others, and they can afford to show up and leave early to avoid traffic. So I say let them do what they want. It's their money to do with as they please.

As for players leaving before the end of the season, I understand the financial aspect of it. But I don't respect it. I believe that you reap what you sow. And if you put yourself before your teammates because you don't think you can make it through one more game without getting hurt, then you shouldn't expect your career to go very well. Be all in, or don't bother ever coming to campus.

If I stay until the end of every game I go to can I criticize Greedy?

Hmmm... commitment.
One sides is stronger than the other.

Some of you take this way too seriously. I will always cheer on the Tigers as that’s where I went to college. But at the end of the day I understand that it’s an entertaining amateur product played by 18-22 year old kids which the majority will go on with their lives and do something other than football when their eligibility runs out,. For the good players, they view it as tryouts to showcase their talents so they can do this professionally and make a living doing it. That’s why some of them sit out the bowl games; because they’re thinking about their future. As far as worrying about if others leave a game early; Jesus Christ, get over it. If that’s something that upsets you or concerns you, please reevaluate your life.

The player is here to be able to go pro. They are preparing themselves for a career in the NFL. I went to LSU to be able to get a job as an engineer.

I guess, as a fan, if you are at the game so that you can go home then so be it.

Fans are paying to go to the game...they can leave whenever they want.

Players get a scholarship + room/board + meal plan + stipends + a bunch of other free shite ...they should finish out the season.

I think it's awesome that so many college football players are sitting out bowl preparation and games to focus on final exams
