14 players sitting out so far this year. 2 of them are our fierce DAWGS. Last year about 16 not including TRap who sat out without having the guts to say it publically.
"Its the Las Vegas bowl"
Shut up or they shouldn't have played against eastern or Hawaii either. Actually why not sit out all non conference games?

Fuck Hunter
Adams not so much
PAC 12 PRIDE
It’s the fucking Vegas bowl. If Hunter blows out his knee again he’s losing a lot of money. It’s not the rose bowl. He has a history of knee issues. He’s not gaining anything by playing. I’d prefer he play. But we aren’t playing fucking Bama like Michigan is either. We are playing a MWC school.
OP uses Michigan as apparent example of a better culture when Michigan had 3 players sit out the Peach Bowl (actual NY6 bowl) just last year.
But surely Harbaugh hates it right? - “That was their decision and we respect it,” Harbaugh said. “I have respect for their (decision). That’s the decision for them to make.”
Ok, but the other players surely hated it, right? - “As a locker room and just as a team, especially a defense, we understand the opportunities those guys have outside of football and outside of Michigan football,” said cornerback David Long, who says he plans to play in the Peach Bowl. “I definitely respect that. I respect that to the fullest.”
Vegas, baby! 7-5. Pathetic waste of what could have been an amazing season. "Imagine caring about this"
It is unique in that only a few players every year do it.
