    Maybe with all of the Georgia opt outs the coaches and players wont be so free to dish out cheap shots on defense.

    And we complain about losing guys to the portal. Every team loses players to the portal no team is immune from portal player loss

    Surely that fight verse and Benson got into outside of that bar had nothing to do with this.

    Yeah, that Georgia Portal list is huge. Surely some of those kids would be good pickups?

    Thought their chances of beating Georgia were slim, but without Benson and Wilson, I think it’s down near zero now. Don’t know if George has had any opt out?

    Yeah, I’m looking forward to that game more than the playoff games! The holes are going to get ground to dust just before the new year! What a gift

    What the hell happened to team loyalty and camaraderie? I think it’s a disgrace, when a player ops out unless he’s gonna be like a top first round draft pick in which case I can see not risking injury. But besides that it’s just bailing on your brothers. Shameful!
    Can anybody see Tebow opting out of a bowl game? I think not. That’s why he’s got a statue and a plaque outside of the stadium. Team player to the core.

    I hate Georgia as much as the next guy or gal, but I want them to completely destroy the life out of FSU.

    College football as I knew it is now fubar. It's sad, really.

    And schools wonder why fans aren't showing up for the games?

    I wonder if they would have opted out if they had gotten into the playoffs?

    Unfortunately we were raised in an age when Ideals, Character, and Principal mattered.
    Today we are in a new age. Money, the ability to change places (via the portal) and the chance to go to the NFL and become a millionaire have changed all that.
