@MussoMatthew That’s been the theme of 4 losses now. At some point you just have to say it’s a bad team with no resolve in big moments.

[JE @jellis225]

@KokiRiley He telegraphed that throw the whole play

[JE @jellis225]

@espn @ESPNCFB You’re telling me a national championship winning program has never beaten a top 5 team before?!

[JE @jellis225]

@MattMoscona I assume the only opposition to this would be the P4 bottom feeders that will lose their only guaranteed wins. Rutgers, Syracuse, Maryland, etc

The thing about 24 that bothers me most is…

Who is this for?

It’s not because TV was begging for it. ESPN had to be convinced.

It’s not for a boatload of new cash. Losing conf champ games is gonna make this a minimal gain.

It’s not because the 22nd team has any shot at a natty. It doesn’t.

It’s certainly not done with the health, safety, or academic success of the players in mind since they don’t even get a say in this.

It’s entirely to appease the people donating the money that keeps a financially irresponsible business model afloat. It’s discounting success so schools can say “look what your donation bought.”

It’s an industry hellbent on treating investors and bosses as the customer, and customers as an infinite resource that will keep coming back no matter what.

Good teams with flawed resumes missing out isn't a bug. It's a feature of a properly-sized CFP that balances access & urgency.

absolutely malpractice by lsu in this game man

[JE @jellis225]

@IamLewisNeal Missing Weeks hurt there. Keys went out to cover the flat when they already had 4 guys out there.

[JE @jellis225]

@walexander Sam Leavitt owes money back. He makes as many elite plays as he does bench-able ones.

[JE @jellis225]

@IamLewisNeal 2 minute defense looked like John Chavis calling plays. Inexcusable to go that soft of coverage

[JE @jellis225]

I think the term he’s looking for to describe their fanbase is “spoiled”.

Mike Elko on the message to the fan base: "There is a difference between the fan base and social media. There's one group that I really don't care much about. Billy's cesspool can go be Billy's cesspool. Our fan base, be with us. Stay behind us. We are going to build something we told you we were going to build. We are in a really bad spot right now, but we are going to work our way out of it."

[JE @jellis225]

@MussoMatthew That’s THREE egregious/missed calls by them already.

[JE @jellis225]

@MussoMatthew I’m for whatever route it takes to stop seeing Boise state, Tulane, and James Madison teams waste a playoff spot.

[JE @jellis225]

@AMDLGEAUX @ZVR09 He’s the modern day Jordan Jefferson. Immense leg talent, but pass progressions and anticipating the throws quickly is really poor. It’s one read and then scramble.

[JE @jellis225]

@AMDLGEAUX @MattMoscona You were joking but they actually did!

[JE @jellis225]

@ZVR09 @CoachBrianKelly Not everyone can have a rich dad that just buys them a complimentary football team whenever they want one. Fortunately we aren’t everyone else.

[LSU @LSU]

We love seeing the Tigers shake things up again! Here's a reading from the campus seismograph!

[JE @jellis225]

@LSUfootball @LSUsports Midnight tigers works out well for @LSUCoachJ might as well try it for @Lane_Kiffin too

Statement from attorney Ryan Downton of Texas Trial Group: “LSU has made a measured decision to keep these two young men off the roster for now while preserving a path for them to be added later. Everyone should use that space to lower the temperature and look at the facts.

Neither player was drafted, made an NFL roster or practice squad, or even played a pre-season game. One received just $190 in gas money, and one never participated in a single practice because of college injury.

Commissioner Sankey repeatedly testified that individual circumstances matter and acknowledged he was not familiar with the specific circumstances of these two players. We agree. Before this escalates any further, examine their actual histories.

There is no reason this needs to become a bigger confrontation. Respect the courts, protect the players, and let level heads prevail.”
