Are you the booster. If so I hate you.

I can think of a million better ways to spend that kind of money. No thank you.

Frankly I think Rickie is still playing because we paid him 500k in NIL.
It is literally the only thing that makes sense at this point.
I have seen some awful qbs over the years at SU but this dude has to be top 3.
He can’t seem to develop and play better, the last 4 games prove that.

Can Carney be better or at least improve each game?
Collins has proven without any doubt that he can not improve.
I say give Carney a real shot.
There is nothing to lose at this point. We are not making a bowl game anymore.

One thing that really gets under my skin is when Fran says Rickie “plays better in the 4th quarter.” Well, no kidding. By then, the game’s basically over, and defenses are in prevent mode — of course he can rack up garbage-time yards and touchdowns. The reality is he’s simply not a power 4 quarterback. I’m ready to move on. If he sticks around next year, he’s looking at a Group of 5 program at best.

Isn't going to happen, there is no way after 4 consecutive blowouts they bench Rickie, and possibly admit they were wrong, about Rickie being the best option to win.

Agree. I would not sacrifice a potential NCAA eligibility at this point.

Anybody know how injury riders work in the NIL era?

Is there any chance that after the injury, we're allowed to reduce what we pay Steve by however much we're paying his replacement? But would owe them both if we bench Rickie since we benched him willfully and are no longer paying a replacement?

This is a question and not speculation, but my understanding is that both have mid to high six figure contracts. It occurred to me that if something like that were in play it's not a trivial amount of money.

I’m guessing we see Carney in the last 3 games. It preserves his red shirt as he has played in one already

He's played in TWO.

Colgate and Pitt.

If I don’t see carney on Friday I’m going to take a break for a week or 2 from the team because this is just insane to me.

LSU can can Kelly and eat 54 million and we cant can former LSU qb for 500k?

Right. That’s sounds crazy right? Which is why it’s likely false. People spit looney stuff out here and then others repeat it as fact. The money the program spent on these guys is gone. There’d be absolutely zero reason to play someone because of money that’s already gone. A booster who demanded it would be told to pound salt. Most importantly, that supposed booster doesn’t exist. It’s a board fabrication.

I swear, in all aspects of life these days I wish people would stop and say to themselves “does this thing I read that I’m now outraged about make any sense?” And when the answer 99% of the time is no, then move on about your day.
