Allegedly

I don't doubt that he's injured. We know he was earlier in the season and it kept him out of a couple of games. He probably played lightly injured for the past two years.

He just decided playing in a meaningless bowl wasn't worth it. Wish KD Davis did that last year. He didn't owe us shit and tore his ACL.

I would imagine KD was playing because that’s what he wanted to do, not out of some sense of owing anyone anything.  He was a baller and he wanted to be out there with his teammates one last time.

I wish he had sat out and I said as much after the injury, but I also hoped it before. At the end of the year most starters are playing hurt in one way or another. It's pointless to speculate, but I think we should normalizing starters trying to make the pro jump sitting out of pointless bowl games.

The announcers were really getting on some of the players during the game.  It started with poor QB play and decisions to keep throwing at the best cover DB.  The good Marshall RB didn't play in the second half and they implied he decided to skip it.  Then a couple UTSA players appeared to fake injuries on the field when Marshall went up-tempo and was driving.

      SB at Charlotte (5/3-5/24)

      The bats have definitely been the biggest disappointment the past two years. The run support simply hasn't been there enough. Now, I'm still optimistic for the tournament. Last year we won three straight to make it to the title game. But that double bye would have been nice especially if we only have two reliable pitchers right now.

      Why the NCAA model is dying and will be replaced

      You can rebuild a college basketball rotation to contend at a high level in one year. That is just 8-9 players. And if you get lucky with 2-3 absolute monsters, you can make a run in any given season. Of course, then those 2-3 monsters will get poached by deeper pockets and you will have to start all over again. But still, it is possible. But we can’t rebuild a college football two-deep in one year. That’s almost 50 players that we need to compete at a high level. And as has been demonstrated, any time we get football players who have any kind of success in the NIL era, they are gone quicker than you can say “Chandler Rogers”. Another reason it is easier for us to compete in the NIL era in basketball is because that sport is dominated by guards. There are LOTS of talented guards available in college basketball and some of the very best can fall through the cracks and land with us for atleast a season. And while many people would say that college football is dominated by quarterbacks (and that position is VERY important)… what really separates the elite college football programs from everyone else are the defensive linemen. The supply of 18-24 year-old humans who weigh 300 pounds with the strength to take on multiple blockers while also having the speed to run down a quarterback is no where near the demand. And these defensive linemen usually take a while to develop. But anytime a defensive linemen shows a hint of promise, he gets funneled to the highest bidder and that won’t be us. Which means we will never be able to compete with the SEC or Big 10 in football.
