Maybe it’s because I don’t live in the South and don’t have to listen to moronic SEC fans, but given the circumstances, who cares? The end to the season sucked for several reasons. I think most people see the loss for what it is.
A bit that but also, especially watching a NFL draft QB pick badly break a leg, you could suffer a career injury on the cusp of getting drafted even after rounds 1-2 which is still big money when you are most likely coming from an environment where you family has very modest to low income.
That is because you must have rocks in your head.
It’s definitely not a positive, but not as big a negative as you’re making it out to be.
I agree with this 100%. Fvck the committee and the obvious corruption and collusion perpetrated by ESPN. It’s a fvcking joke.
Give it a rest with the holier than thou shit. Majority of FSU players that would have made a difference are headed to the NFL. It would be mind numbingly stupid for any of them to have played in that game. Just fvcking stop.
Wrong. Georgia didn’t have any NFL possible entrants sitting out unless they were hurt (Bowers and Mims). All the other healthy guys going to the NFL played including 2 who already declared this morning. They wanted to play and end on a good note, for their teammates, win 50 games in their career etc.
So then be sure to support the full transition from “scholarships” to one year contracts with performance clauses - to include participation in any post season games.
Nobody but the SEC ball lickers give any credence to that game and FSU’s performance. You think these kids owe you something as a fan. They don’t.
If you mean “combine” and not “draft,” I would tend to disagree. How much more can you put on tape in a single game? Being 100% is your best attribute going into the combine, where testing is mainly a lot of football adjacent activities. Time would probably be better served working those specific drills/sprints/jumps/lifts/etc. Not saying playing and preparing are mutually exclusive, but being completely healthy could be.
I think you’re correct, and it makes sense right? If the schools want these guys to risk injury for what are essentially exhibition games they will need to incentivize them to do so. I do also believe the bowl system will slowly die off as the playoffs expand. I would venture to guess in ten years the playoff field will be much larger and the bowls will be a thing of the past. Time will tell.
Still not the same. And which two? The 50 games thing was a big deal. And finishing on a high note after a crushing loss.
And I will give zero F’s then, as I did last night. It’s football, not a terminal diagnosis from my PCP. Let me know the real impact a 5-10 year old football score has on anyone.
Well, it’d be nice to not own the wrong end of the biggest blowout in bowl history and a future trivia question.
Yeah, I remember going out to the Rose Bowl and seeing us get beat 59-20 in the CFP playoffs. Getting beat stung a bit at the time but I remember the great time I had with my son on that trip and the cool experience of being at the game. The score? Eh, whatever. (I had to look it up just now.)
Irrelevant. Every snap there is the chance for a career ending injury. No point risking generational type wealth over a meaningless game. I think we can agree to disagree and move on.
I remember painful losses. At my age there have been a few I still can’t forget, but I am a weird football fanatic when it comes to FSU.
