College Football Bowl Season Discussion Thread (and BG Bowl Pick Em)

Whelp, now we know why none of the LSU players were ready:

One reporter saw Jefferson in Harrah's casino every night after they arrived. Sounds like they were there to party instead of playing in the biggest game of their lives.

Trent Richardson also went to Harrah's

Kinda odd.. but he also didn't play very much in the first Q, which I was like "Why aren't they running him more".. maybe punishment without making it known?

[Octorok]

Nah I think the minimal use of TRich was a part of the gameplan, and I think it worked pretty well.

[Moss]

Edit: Also Moss, I barely recognize you with the new sigatar. Can't you bring back scary Witherspoon?

Weatherspoon beasted this year and probably deserves it but I am still healing and don't want to be reminded of the Falcons right now.

Looks like Russell Shepard is transferring. For the best I'm sure. This kid would have been great if given the opportunity.

Also rumors that Kadron Boone is transferring, and we're still unsure about Rueben Randle leaving for the draft. We finally get through the QB shitshow and might not have any WRs to throw to.

Shep was underutilized for sure but he wasn't ever able to improve much as a WR. We will still have Beckham Jr. and Landry. I really wish Randle would stay because he can put up big numbers with Mett. It would be nice if Armand Williams could ever learn to play the position, dude is a sick athlete.

Les Miles press conference today at 3. Get your popkern ready

Claiborne leaving was a no-brainer, hurts to lose Brockers and Randle

[Octorok]

Yep. Brockers hurts bad, but it's time for Freak Johnson to step up

[Moss]

Brockers hurts more because of how good he was, but depth at DT with the freak and Mickey Johnson should be fine.

[Moss]

Also heard from a friend whose dad is a reporter(he was in the locker room pre and postgame) that Jefferson went off on the Oline and Les before the game and the defense after the game. That's all I really know but it isn't the first place I heard there was a locker room incident pregame, which could help explain why the players were so listless.

[Octorok]

Yeah I'm hearing a lot about locker room fights and whatever it was was not good

[Lordender]

Spoke to the Honey Badgers cousin today, he said they were told they could do whatever they wanted as long as it didn't get attention/get caught and also those visits to the strip clubs were comped. Really pathetic there wasen't more of a strict curfew, I mean what did the players show miles off the field all season?

[archibaldcrane]

those visits to the strip clubs were comped.

Sounds like impermissable NCAA benefits to me.
