I don't see why this is a big deal.


It's a long-standing rule if you go to the NFL you can't come back to play college football. Old heads see this as a line in the sand like the gambling saga with Sorsby.

You have to admit, college football has changed a hell of a lot in the past 5 years, the traditionalists are bound to fight back at some point.

I believe they should let the kids play, but I'm not some big wig old head at the SEC either

The best thing that could happen is the judge rules against the players on Thursday and this is all put to bed
They can fight it all they want, but it looks like so far every court room this type of case has been heard the players win. I don't see that changing as precedent has been set

The quotes are important because calling these guys former NFL players is silly. If a guy never makes a 53 man roster, he is not an NFL player. I mean is Diego Pavia a former NFL player because he had a cup of coffee with the Ravens? Come on.


I disagree. If Pyburn comes back and plays for LSU this year, he got a few sacks in NFL preseason games and never made the 53.

In my opinion, if you make the 90 man training camp roster you are in the NFL. Most college players don't even make it that far
I agree. Make it the first down chant

We all know the circumstances but ultimately the left out an undefeated team. Period


You make a really good case to sign as many pro players as possible and win all the games
There's going to be lots of teams with former NFL players this season. By the end of the year it won't really mean a damn thing

If you can't locate your pitches in pro ball they get hit over the fence just about every time. Pitchers with command issues don't make it to AA. The whole quote doesn't make sense if he's trying to get drafted

“It's hard to pitch when you're looking over your shoulder right when you get in the game,” a scout told The Advocate. “I don't know how Jay (Johnson) didn't know that, but if you throw one ball, and you're like, ‘Okay, I'm already going to be out for the next guy.’ I just think, as someone who played, that’s no way to pitch.”


And that's different from professional baseball how?

Private school can make their rules.


No they can't. For instance, you can't have an all white catholic school now can you. I'm not a lawyer, but a good one could connect the dots and make the right argument.
This is not going to last. The first kid that gets suspended for having a facebook will sue and win. This is like a free money handout to whoever sues first
Being 'capable' of sinking US naval vessels doesn't account for the probability.

I’ve always heard that band people are some freaky mofos. Like way out there.


Not really any freakier than anybody else. There's just a lot of band people that frick each other. Think about it. You put 200 high school or college aged kids together for an extended period of time at a pretty much 50/50 split male to female ratio and what do you expect to happen
Damn, knew her well. Same age. She was in band at Lafayette High, played saxophone. Not gonna say too much more but she was a cool chick. Well liked amongst the band click in Lafayette Parish while I was in high school. My guess is the student was a chick. She always gave off that kind of vibe
quote:

Like the guys above, you could say we missed out on chazz and sorsby. You could also say we missed out on demond williams, but we really didnt want to pay his buy out and his price. Everything considered, I would say we got pretty much everyone we truly wanted and fought for this portal class.


At the end of the cycle none of those guys sting. Got similar talent, maybe even better talent to replace those guys. I just remember Saban would always be able to pluck a kid or two from Louisiana that would just leave a sour taste in your mouth. None of that this time
I just never remember any recruiting cycle, HS recruiting or portal that LSU got just about everyone they wanted. Who did we miss on? Can anyone name a player? We certainly got the big fish.

Prices are high because we printed trillions of dollars over the last 20 years bombing brown people in the middle east, rebuilding the country and then bombing it again. Stop being mad at welfare queen, it's on purpose so you get mad at welfare queen instead of getting mad at the oligarchs who are robbing this country blind.
