Four star Mac Markway, who played for LSU before going to Nebraska, is leaving football. He had a series of injuries to his knees, and realized he is not able to play the sport he loves. He was in the large group of portal players who left during BK's start at LSU. He may have seen his playing time was not going to be what he wanted. In spite of leaving LSU, he was a quality athlete who loved LSU and loved the sport. Too bad he won't be playing anymore.

Mac Markway Leaving Football

Watch the replay footage. There was one second on the clock when the State player touched the ball, but he jumped in from out of bounds. It was the correct call.

By the way, all the game clocks are synchronized by strobes before the game.

LSU isn't being singled out.

A player who left the university and signed a pro contract (with two different teams) and was still under contract with the second team should not be allowed to sign with a university.

Cleveland didn't waive him until he agreed to go to LSU.

I don't believe the other players mentioned were still under contract with an NFL team. (I could be wrong about that.

Let's see how this goes when some former NFL players decide to have some retirement fun playing against college kids.

1976 Rice game. Sitting in the old south stadium before the game started, the kicker was practicing extra points. The ball came right to me, went right through my arms, and hit my feet. Everyone in the end zone laughed at me and said I could play for the Saints.

I'm still lost how the NCAA has been like this this long with nobody taking action sooner.

While the NCAA had problems, they were minor compared to the problems caused by judges making rulings in lawsuits.

When most people talk about government interference, they are talking about several unelected judges doing the damage.

As long as the U.S. allows certain unelected lower level (not Supreme Court) judges to make rulings that affect the entire country, we will continue to have issues.

Sucks the Tigers weren’t in it, but man do they love P&G up there.

Listened to the advice of an older man working at the KC academy who saw my hat and said “you should wear whatever P&G you got up there, they love y’all.” He was right. Hadn’t heard that many Geaux Tigers outside of an LSU game maybe ever.

I posted a while back about this. It has nothing to do with LSU money -- it is because LSU people have so much fun there.

Especially when the games were at the old stadium, LSU fans would park their cars and vans in people's yards around the stadium (for a fee!) and have the best tailgates.

Of all the teams that have played at the World Series, Nebraska fans like LSU more than any other (unless Nebraska magically made it there).

Many may not remember the Tulane basketball betting issues in the 1980s. Players may not have actively been betting, but they were shaving points for others. It cost the school its basketball team, and it cost the innocent coach a job, and followed him for life. NIL and the portal have changed the game, but if betting by players on their own team is allowed, we can kiss college athletics goodbye.

When it comes to trashy fans, Kansas people are amateurs compared to Colorado students.

People in Omaha have a close relationship with LSU for the World Series. Going back to the old stadium, with LSU fans having cookouts in the area, and having a great time win or lose, the Nebraska people had a team to cheer for.

It didn't change in the move to the new stadium. Fewer cookouts in yards and tailgating, but more bar and restaurant fun.

On top of it all, the LSU fans came ready to spend money.

I would guess outside of Louisiana, Nebraska probably has the most fans disappointed in the Tiger's season.
