Thank you opt out players

[LandoComando]

Bull. Then want to opt out? Then stay home! Soon they will be opting out Halloween? Or pull a Micah and opt out all year?! They are highly compensated and have insurance.

Did opting out hurt Parsons? But seriously, I've never heard anyone complain about that before
Insurance doesn't do anything. After the insurance payout Jayron Brown lost 20M due to his injury.
They won't be opting out that early. And blame Franklin for allowing them to go if you have an issue with it.

 

[MacNit2.0]

You listened to Paterno too much and bought into a bunch of nonsense. We all have our strengths.

Impossible

 

[fairfaxlion2]

Not really. Best recruiting-‘rated schools win every year.

is that why TCU played for the national title last year?

I do blame Franklin.

Micah is a unique talent l. But is immature and it shows in key moments.

Also not a good teammate or Penn Stater…quit on both.

Blind Squirrel…acorn…how often does that happen…it is almost mathematical…best recruiting ranking win every year (last year, no exception - see Georgia)…only a handful of teams can compete…we are not among them

 

[MacNit2.0]

Why not just shit can the bowl games because the debacle in the Orange bowl after 25 plus Florida State players oped out will shit can the bowls when the fans say , enough

Agree…and Georgia’s behavior in game was a disgrace.

 

[fairfaxlion2]

Hasn't college always been about preparing the student for the best opportunity post college?

no, actually I don't think that was the original objective of universities. using universities as vocational training is a relatively recent thing and there is no particular reason to believe it's sustainable

 

[voltz99]

What a damned shame. To see a great defense lose it top players to opt outs and then lose our best linebacker. Why let teams play who have lost their top players at the end of the season to expose the fans to an embarrassment. But we will keep supporting Franklin who himself has done nothing great in the portal. Aller development is poor. Sorry, give Beau a chance.

What did you ever do in life?

 

[Westcoast24]

Agree…and Georgia’s behavior in game was a disgrace.

What did the Georgia players do that was so disgraceful?

 

[voltz99]

Guess Georgia players didn't get the memo. No opt outs there.

False. Georgia had Many opt outs already in the portal and fsu had 20+.

 

[MacNit2.0]

What did the Georgia players do that was so disgraceful?

Rubbed it in the face if a team down almost 20 players…

 

[Westcoast24]

I see. I don’t necessarily agree with you but that’s ok. I really didn’t see them rubbing anything in.

I thought Parsons tried to come back once the BIG decided to have a season but he wasn't allowed.

that season was a joke with fake cardboard people in the stands. surprised he even bothered trying to come back for it

 

[LandoComando]

What did the Georgia players do that was so disgraceful?

They were celebrating because that's how Kirby got them excited to play for this game. That and for the seniors to get their 50th win. No idea how that's disgraceful. Maybe FSU's guys should have played if they cared.

You are an idiot. Most of the opt outs could have left last year. What did you ever contribute to the program?

Fair enough. I found it appalling. BFD…they beat half an FSU team…my hero…too bad they could not get 70.

Did they not check with you? It was only an exhibition. Does not count in records. Was not a playoff game. Why so much excitement?

And big deal, they beat half an FSU team.

 

[junior1]

Why should they play? The game means nothing and what happened to Carter is an example of why they don’t play. This was a scrimmage and the first game of 2024. Coach K and Allen have a lot to do to get ready for Labor Day weekend in Morgantown. Even the other guys who did play were used sparingly.

you're right..we need to rethink bowl games..now they're really just scrimmages...shouldn't count either for or against a team's record.

Stop with your comparisons of athletics to ordinary college students. I am not arguing about whether players should opt out or not. But your idiotic comparisons are ridiculous.

 

[YYZ86]

What did the Georgia players do that was so disgraceful?

Nothing. I bet a lot parlaying Georgia and the over yesterday. I also bet on Ole Piss. Good day for me.

The modern athlete is the core problem with college football. Entitled wanna be thugs who think everything is owed to them. Quit when times get tough. All about themselves. All other issues with the game stem from that.

Me, myself and I.

Hooray for me, the hell with you.

The Litany of the Coward.

 

[LMTLION]

I have no issue with Chop sitting this one out. He has major concussion concerns.

But you are right though. F the team. Selfish assholes.

Hope this is the death of college football. And these players have nowhere to go.

Dude , you have some serious issues. We all love PSU football, but you are crossing into the realm of mental health to create such a post.

 

[AWS1022]

So I just looked it up....
The 2013 Belton year generated 58 million in revenue
The 2017 Barkley year generated 100 million in revenue.

And they took in $101 million in 2020 with no Barkley and they sucked.

You are describing modern society in general. They are merely a symptom of this society. I run a good size organization and you see the same behaviors out of professionals in the workplace as well.

 

[AWS1022]

Playing in a weak conference helps get you to the playoffs, just ask Clemson.

Clemson only won with elite qbs. Otherwise their teams were similar to PSU in talent .

The outcome doesn't matter but because of fans not accepting that they need to get creative to great incentive

 

[AWS1022]

And Penn State would have had multiple undefeated or one loss seasons if they played in the ACC.

You or your HR department don't know how to hire.

 

[LMTLION]

That is the truth. Clemson and Dabo had a reputation built on a couple great quarterbacks. I think that, without an elite quarterback, it’s impossible for anybody outside the SEC to win a natty.

 

[LMTLION]

You or your HR department don't know how to hire.

Have you taken your psych pills today?

 

[JerseyRon]

Why get crazy over opt outs? It's all just entertainment. The team is the headliner and the players are the boys in the band. Who cares if the lead musician is unavailable as long as the headliner shows up.

 

[KCLion]

You are an idiot. Most of the opt outs could have left last year. What did you ever contribute to the program?

And the young guys would have had more experience - it goes both ways.

 

[joeaubie21]

Have you taken your psych pills today?

I don't know what type of company you run, but if interviewees are being asked dumb crap like what do you want to do 5 years from now, and who was your best/worst boss, etc you're guessing about a candidate.

You should be asking questions endemic to your company in an objective situation. How would you solve this problem? What would you do in this situation? What is your experience with this?

Otherwise, you end up with the idiots you described.

 

[Indian rocks rich]

No. He's god damn right.

Guess you don’t understand the money involved with the decision to not play. You are an idiot if you don’t understand that

Greed and COWARDICE, always a bad combination.
