PORTALet

I do like that Des chose to make a comment. Concise, thankful, hopeful for the future. I know this isn't what people mean when they say CMD needs to get out in the community but still good to see him putting out a message to CN on a tough day for the team and fanbase.

I agree. I thought it was as good as statement as could be made considering the circumstance

I think this is pretty fair. Even just for selfish reasons. It's a bad look for our program for public bashing to occur, so I hope that doesn't happen on social media. However, I do think a line gets crossed when guys don't give full effort or are checked out while they are still here. Not accusing anyone of that in this situation, but it definitely happens. That is justifiably going to rub fans and donors the wrong way.

Really wish they would stop with the BS posts when they enter the portal. It's insincere. And it's not an airport. No need to announce your departure. Just GTFO. Saw a comment from a fan, admonished other fans for not being gracious with their comments concerning the players entering the portal. Talking about, "it speaks to their character more than the players." LoL! These players aren't just entering the portal all willy nilly on a wish and a prayer that someone will pick them up. No. These players are entertaining offers illegally while they're supposed to be honoring their commitment to the university and their teammates. Knowing they've illegally accepted an offer while they give a half@$$ effort during the conference championship. Letting down the university and their teammates. Is THAT character? It's most certainly not. It's ____ty character. And it's disingenuous and insulting to post that empty song and dance.

CCU has top 2 QB in portal, plus a third one that wasn’t on depth chart. Think Cajuns are just lucky to have a QB with no eligibility left.

Lopez at USA posted “Decisions” on X, but took it down. D*** move.

QBs GATA’s #2, ASU’s #2, TXST’s #2 and ULM’s Booty in portal. Sure more to come.

Daylon Sibley and Cabel Bonine listed on On3.

I wouldn’t concern myself too much with bowl games in today’s landscape. They have become a televised scrimmage between what’s left of the depleted rosters of the 2 schools involved.

This is what I view it as. Bowls don’t matter. Gives your team extra practice but in the end they are meaningless.

Unlike some others I've read, it looks like he wrote this himself.

And that is not a knock from me, its a compliment.

Made the mistake of reading the facebook comments from the Harvey Broussard announcement. The number of people saying "this is they job and they gotta do what's right for them and they family" is actually kind of amazing. "Why should coaches get to move up to better opportunities and players dont?"

The number of people saying "go chase that bag young man!", or "don't risk your body for less money if you can get more!".

Not one person mentions the full tuition, room and board, etc that these guys get. They don't mention school at all.

Just burn this ____ down and hire them as employees.

I recognize the only constant in life is change, but my give a ____ about college football sure has been decreasing rapidly with the portal.

It's not "college" football anymore.

What’s crazy is I haven’t talked to or heard one person involved in college football who likes the portal. Coaches, ncaa, AD’s, I guess the players do that are getting paid life changing money. But there’s alot fewer haves than have nots in that world.
