Exactly. We'll have to rename the bowls some derivative of, "The No Prospects Bowl" or "The Guys who need to Ball One Moar Tim to Make the NFL Bowl" or "the Try Hard Bowl" or "The Kind of Kid You Want Your Daughter to Marry" Bowl.Swaye said:
Exactly. What do NY6 bowl's even mean if in 10 years the 3-4 best players on every team are all sitting out? I'll just say fuck it and sit around diddling myself and not watch any of itcreepycoug said:

I'm not going to bash a kid who might legitimately be injured. And for you guys saying play through it, what would it have done to his stock if he was unable to cut and cover effectively against their explosive O and looked like a fool.
WE Don't KNOW for sure, so I'm not jumping to drunk conclusions.
Some of you need to remember that. -
What's the point of the conference championship game? Or the game against Oregon State? Schools need to start covering insurance policies or we're going to see kids sitting out the last half of their junior season.Swaye said:

College football signed their own death warrant when they started to listen to NFL fans on how to run their product
Bowl game ties ins for champs was college football. The national champion was literally an after thought given AFTER the bowl games
A plus one at the most
Now it is inevitable that the play off is all that matters -

There is always a thread of truth in every story
Here’s how it goes.
Rapp has a sore hip from when Joho McIntosh tried to kill him in that one game ( @RoadDawg55 might remember which one) Nbd. Everyone is fucking sore and has wounds at the end of the season. It’s not anything other than typical season wear and tear.
Rapp and the coaches continue to prep to play Osu.
A few days ago, maybe over christmas, someone in his family sees others sitting out of their shit bowl games (or maybe a “family friend” passes along some advice) and offers the idea of sitting out.
Rapp tells lake he wants to sit out, says his hip/leg is hurting but everyone knows it’s to protect nfl draft. He’s been going to the trainer for it weeks for his hip so the alliby checks out though.
Lake compromise is dress out for the game, go through warmups, think about it while in uniform in the stadium and see if you change your mind. If not we will tell everyone it’s an injury so everyone can save face.
Rapp pusses out.
Maybe Rapp was or wasn’t the difference in the overall outcome of game, but the secondary looked completely different and the replacement safeties played poorly to say the least.
Nothing better than "threads of truth" that are complete speculation. Well done! -

Sure as fuck, none of these guys are sitting out the biggest game of their careers on their biggest stage.
And I'd bet dollars to donuts there's more than a few future NFL guys on the field in Frisco, TX on Saturday. The smart ones know they can play their way into more money by balling out.
Carson Wentz didn't sit out the fucking playoffs.

If top players are willing to sit out Rose Bowls why do they bother playing the non-conference scrimmages at the beginning of the season? When do they start sitting those games out, too? Yeah, they end up only playing a half, but still. 10 wins used to mean something because the season was 12 games long. I think some of this is also due to playing too many games.
