If you’re a player at Georgia Tech, you’re not supposed to express an opinion publicly unless your teammates vote on it first. I guess that’s a step up from what they vote on at LSU.
Although it makes you wonder if Corch put Tebow’s inspirational eye-black messages up for a vote in Gainesville.
What I am more interested in is the connection between the 3 schools and the players? Seems like 3 very different schools. Anyone know which players at VaTech wore the wrist bands…
Also note the extremely different reactions between fishfry and CMR? Who do you think has better relationship with his players?

They are probably the only three schools where players are not currently being paid. So everybody else’s players are kind of “meh” about the whole thing, lol.

Noble causes to be sure. There is a lotta new money in college football. That is bound to get a lot of peoples interest up. Money and power are powerful incentives. I don’t know if there are plans to unionize the players or if that is even possible. All Players United are backed by the National College Players Association which are in turn supported by the United Steele Workers Union.

The players who wore this stuff apparantly did it without much fanfare. If they had of made a big fuss about it, PJ would probably have a problem with what might be seen as a budding revolution. This would probably be a situation where a coach would be wise to remember “less said, best said”.

Does it mean something that nobody from LSU wore the bands? And that we did?….God, it’s just Tuesday and I am already scrambling for omens…

mindless hatred of paul johnson aside, reminding members of a TEAM that they should do things as a TEAM actually makes sense.
