Orange Bowl Opt Outs?

[Hopeful Vol]

You have zero inside info troll! GBO

More than you got!!! troll bag

 

[Gandalf]

I’ve heard Hyatt, Bru and Fant and Tillman won’t be playing

You are clearly trolling then - why on earth would Bru (a RS Jr) opt out?

He’s been hurt. It’s more likely he plays though. That’s just what I heard. Tillman def not playing. Fant and Hyatt possibly not for certain though.

I thought Bru was coming back. Doesn’t make much sense to opt out if he’s coming back.

 

[DeltaSCVol]

That would be really disappointing if that happens. It would just cement how little bowls mean and especially how players dont care about them.

True unless it is playoffs they don't care...maybe the expanded playoffs will help.

. He’s been hurt since the SC game i would imagine he will be ready to go in 25 days though

 

[DonDiego]

Nobody on defense should opt out. They all took their opt-out opportunity in SC game.

Has anyone asked Nick Saban how he feels? Perhaps ESPN could give him a few minutes so that he can review our roster and provide guidance. I'm never really sure how to think about anything until Nick Saban offers his opinion, then it is all so very clear.

Let's wait til our game is live and they can cut to an old Saban interview during critical plays so we can all here what Nick thinks.

Clemson is expected to have zero oot outs, except for maybe DJU.

That won't matter. Klubnik is the Tigers QB now.

Perfect timing for our D to make another QB hero

 

[FranklinVFL]

Just what I’ve heard I’m really hoping Bru and Hyatt and Fant play. I can understand Tillman not playing

I heard Bru is coming back next year. Does not make sense to opt out if you are planning to come back.

Or Fant who, I believe, plans to play in the Sr. Bowl

I’d like an LSU type of game from our D

 

[Orangepantsforever]

Agree.......but nobody opted out back then.

Correct. “Draft grades” and Mel Kiper ruined a lot. To be fair, Heath’s mind wasn’t in Orlando during that Citrus Bowl. But he’s all Vol, so I’m not criticizing.

 

[greenbacknative]

Tillman and Hyatt would be my guess.

Neither has much to prove at this point and Tillman still doesn't look quite 100 percent to me.

I remember Justin Hunter never looked quite the same after he got injured. Looked too careful after that...

 

[Sarms58]

Not you. The guy who joined two weeks ago..."Hopeful Vol". He just pot stirring

I don't see his posts anymore...the ignore function works well.

 

[volfaninky]

The opt out is the thing that really sucks for bowl season for those of us that spend the money to go to the game. If you don’t make the playoff, it’s like nobody cares.

The expanded playoff will help that a lot. This year, we would have hosted first round game in Neyland. I can’t imagine how fun that will be!!

 

[BubbaDoc]

I remember when opting out was't even a thing. Dang I'm old.

Your post is completely valid but dang I really want to shed this mentality.

Maybe if players opt out, they shouldn’t go to the bowl games. Teams don’t need people who aren’t engaged taking part. Heck, for that matter, opt outs should probably just close out their business with the school. If they want to “shut it down,” cool, but perhaps they should move on. Certainly don’t see why they should stay on scholarship.

I agree. No bowl swag, etc. They should stay back and work on their game.

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Dabo may not be able to get off from his part-time job at Back Yard Burgers.

Someone gotta work the grill during the holiday season

If it's like that Back Yard Burgers here...they'd probably let him off because almost every time I pass it, it's dead
If that Jax=Jackson then you know what I'm talking about HAHA

I am cool with the Coach handling it and deciding these things. He's going to know what's best for team chemistry. Are we so petty that we care about some kid getting an orange bowl swag bag? Come on.

Same, but they had Daniels who is more of a run threat than a passer. I would not want to face them with that Nussmeir kid.

 

[VolsFan-TX]

Has Golesh opted out? The article I read said it was unclear if he was coaching in the bowl game or not.

 

[livefaith]

OP, you sayin' somebidy is plannin' on quittin' on their team?
