After a poor season with 5 losses, only spared by an amazing victory at OSU, we have 9 NFL-draft eligible players sitting out of the bowl game. Meanwhile, Bama - a team that many realize probably should have been in the CFP and really has nothing to prove - has all of their NFL eligible players playing for what posters here are describing as a "meaningless" game. But it's not. As DeBoer said today, a bowl game is the opportunity to play one more time with your teammates, the opportunity to leave the program in the best condition possible and the opportunity to set the right tone for next year. I understand kids need to make a decision in what they believe is their own best interest, but its a real shame that we didn't have more of these type of players willing to play tomorrow and/or the university didn't purchase some insurance for them (like Colorado did). I find it stunning how people attempt to rationalize this game as meaningless - if we get our ass kicked it's not going to feel good and it doesn't help recruiting or morale, at all.
