The only thing it messes up is having to hold spots

We don't really have to "hold" spots. Its very unlikely we will fill our entire 105 alottment/roster limit. Now, there will have to be conversations pertaining to starting roles. But that conversation would happen regardless.

Yeah, Ole Miss has opened up negotiating with their current offensive staff to try to retain them so it appears we are going to enter another battle here.

---

You clearly misunderstood. This isn't a negotiation to "retain" them for next year. They've already signed contracts with LSU, and Ole Miss has already hired their next coaching staff. The conversation is surrounding them potentially staying on board through the remainder of the play-offs.

Now quit yelling at me

He’s not yelling. That’s just how he talks.

I actually hope a few of our OL withdraw: Echols and Adams at the very least. I know our OL play was pretty bad this year. But I think some of these guys suffered from poor coaching. It's very unlikely that ALL of these highly touted players are really this bad. Maybe better coaching would bring out the talent.

Did they? Or did others outside of LSU report/speculate how much LSU committed to NIL? I never saw anything official from LSU nor did I hear anyone directly associated with LSU give a number.

Only by the media and Ole Miss fans ..which I'm perfectly content with.

The playoffs have made these bowls somewhat meaningless as far as being the CFB champion

In that regard, these bowl games have always been "meaningless." If anything, the addition of the playoffs have made more bowl games meaningful. But the non-playoff bowls have the exact same bearing on the national championship as they had before: none. We watch these games because we enjoy football and cheering for our schools.

A guy who supports a program that just fired their HC in the wake of a nasty cheating scandal shouldn't point fingers at other programs in the name of "morals".

lol they are .10c and are actually decent bags.

The epitome of “nickel and dime-ing”. Everything is more expensive in Cali, and I’m not okay with it. I’m certainly not paying extra for bags.

Neother Saban, Miles, or even Orgeron were "great" prior to coming to LSU. Saban and Miles were still on the upswing of their careers and established themselves here, cementing their greatness. Orgeron, was someone else's trash that found lightening in a bottle via several great hires and stumbling upon Joe Burrow. I wouldn't call him "great" but he's certainly a legend.

Brian Kelly essentially left LSU with a similar status he came here with: A very good coach that couldn't get to the mountain top. If you can't do it at LSU, you probably won't do it anywhere else.

What’s the point of playing football? What’s the point of any of it? It’s all “meaningless” if you’re not entertained.

Most of us who enjoy football actually enjoy these games because it’s more football. We will soon be without the sport for many months. But these bowl games are a way to prolong us the inevitable.

For the players, it’s a reward for winning games during the regulwr season. Post-season games are actually intended to be a reward. Are there too many bowls? Maybe. But we can still be entertained. If you’re not entertained, don’t watch. We don’t have to get rid of something just because you don’t see the purpose. Others clearly do. And if at any po8nt, enough people don’t, then the problem will take care of itself. The bowls (or some of them) will go away. Simple supply and demand.
