Possible players sitting out Citrus Bowl; updated!

There used to be a thing called Alabama pride. That's part of the price we pay by bringing in national talent, as opposed to primarily recruiting in the state of Alabama. Although in today's day and age, I'm sure that really matters anymore.

I think you are dead on. RTR!

So Lewis decides to sit out the bowl game, but agrees to play in the Sr. bowl.

Unless he is recovering from some injury, this makes no sense, and he is doing himself a disservice.

Yeah, I thought that was interesting too...

A question for you guys:  Does a player sitting out of a bowl game need to give a reason for sitting out to the fans?

Probably doesn't need to, but it would be the right thing to do, IMO.

I think so but money talks and camaraderie doesn't in college football. RTR!

I do not like it but he is making a business decision. There is not much to be gained for him personally in a non-major bowl. There is much to be gained (or lost) by him spending a week in Mobile with all NFL teams and head coaches represented.

I was thinking that Lewis does have a history of injury, but you are no doubt right.

I suspect he is skipping the bowl so he can concentrate on training for the Senior Bowl and Pro Day.

Mac Jones has reason to be extra cheerful this holiday season after confirming he will have emerging star running back Najee Harris and his top three wide receivers -- Jerry Jeudy, Henry Ruggs and DeVonta Smith -- all available for the bowl game, along with some of his top offensive linemen.

I am so glad to see these guys coming to play in the bowl. Mich. will be tough but we have the team to win if the right team shows up. RTR!

The kid has had 2 serious injures and given his all for the Tide. That’s enough for me. He owes the fans nothing, it’s his life and he’s looking to the future financially. I can’t blame him for that. He may not be more than a 5th round pick.
