If every position was played by a walk on, I might agree with you
You'd have had several players playing in new positions that they havent practiced in, several walk ons, quite a few true freshmen, a potentially a punter at quarterback.
This LSU roster was thin anyway, an offensive lineman from Harvard and a linebacker from North Dakota State both transferred in and were day 1 starters.

Then that is a problem with the coaches
Cause its easier to explain, "Hey I know that no other team has played with less than 53 scholly players in the SEC but we thought we'd run yall out against the #1 team in the country and let them blast your arse in a game you didnt have a prayer in because yall need to get better?"

Orgeron just lied about it to avoid a certain arse kicking at the hands of Alabama
Saban lied about having Covid to let Georgia's guard down so you have no room to talk.

We have plenty of examples of walk ons stepping up and performing, earning scholarships and providing future depth that you might have not known you had before. Getting true freshman snaps isn't a bad thing when the other option is no snaps at all.

That is an amazing way to negatively spin something.
I'd be worried if I had players that didn't want to play in the game.

The game will be rescheduled provided the season doesn't fall apart
The LSU-Alabama game was said to be one of the conference's priorities to reschedule, everyone knew this going in.

...do you actually expect anyone to take you seriously? This post of yours is the perfect example of why you're considered a joke around here.

I'm not talking about one game, I would be concerned if my players didn't want to play in any of the games.

There's just as much evidence to indicate that Saban lied about having Covid as there is to indicate that Orgeron lied about contact tracing

Me too.
Though I could see how players would lose faith in the coaching staff if the coaching staff wasn't following the guidelines set forth by the SEC that everyone else has adhered to so far.

Alabama played the game. LSU did not.
Missouri will play the game, even if they don't have 53. LSU did not, even if they had more.

This statement has nothing to do with whether either coach lied.

There's no proof to support this, like many of your statements.

For the record, I would guess that most LSU players that were active did want to play. That is just natural for most of those guys.
I don't think anyone should be upset at Coach O for postponing/canceling the game. What I don't understand is why so many LSU fans didn't want it to happen, considering the issues we are having with trying to fit all of these games in that have been postponed. If this had been a one off thing I could understand.

Two different reasons.
Some are pussies.
Some still think we have a shot to pull the upset and just want the best team possible to play.

You can never have real conversation with him, after multiple posts stating you can play with less than 53. He switches why would a coach play his players under those conditions.
He always uses contact tracing by the SEC offices as references but ignores 53* rule also in SEC Covid protocols by same officials.
When backed into corner the tried and true LSU posters formula of you're low IQ or stupid comeback.

Right and the second one is very valid in certain years but not this year.

That has always been my stance.

Again, literally no one has played with less than 53 scholly players, why are y'all so mad that LSU didnt?
Also, Nick Saban himself said that contact tracing is why we haven't been able to play these games, it isnt just me.

Why bother being a fan if you dont have at least a small bit of hope?

There is a difference between flipping WRs and having to practice a punter at QB.

Living in reality and being shocked when something amazing and unlikely happens feels just as good when you were delusional the whole time.
