Sort of ignores driven-ness and comfort, no?

So almost everyone winds up in a job they're incompetent at? 

That explains a lot.
I think that's changed a lot over the past decade, and employees and employers have adjusted accordingly, for better or worse.  It's why a lot of companies seek laterals from lower paying firms, and I actually declined a promotion, where I knew I was set up to fail.  I do a great job managing a large client, but the pay raise meant bringing in a huge book, that I was never going to do

Plays right into drivenness.
Keep driving until you are out of your element 

If you seek comfort.   Just stay where you're comfortable and successful

Incompetence of the barstool crew in Tucson was better than the effort of FSWHOO

FSU lost player after player opting out. Bowl games, which were once important, have turned into mere exhibition games.
As for the Hawkeyes, there are transfer portal players opting out, but as for transfer portal players who were starters, there is only one. A former starter Diante Vines WR, and current starter Anterio Thompson who started on special teams and blocked two punts.
Of the two, Anterior Thompson is the bigger loss. 
Tennessee has lost at least 4 key players who are opting out; including their starting QB, and two RBs.
There has to be a way to stop this until after the season actually ends.

Bowl games in the 60s were exhibition games. 

Polls were done before the bowls

Players still played.

Bowl games today??? Why bother???

Meaningless

You mean being a rainmaker?

I used to be that guy and I never liked it. But I had to do it. Good you have a choice.

Looks like LSU will have everybody who didn't portal out except Daniels and the prima donna backup O-lineman.  Well....and the OC, who went to Notre Dame.  Still not sure what that means for the offense, since Daniels was the offense.  Also meaningless for the defense, since they were complete trash and it doesn't matter if they're all playing. 

Next question is how long will some of these guys play?  Nabers is playing because he wants to break Josh Reed's LSU career record.  He needs 22 yards to do it.  Will he sit after a catch or two?  I can't even fathom why BTJr. is playing.  Good for him, though, I guess. 

No idea who is available or not for Wisconsin.  Also wouldn't mean anything to me since I barely watched them this year.  Winning is always better than losing, but all I really hope for from this game is some reassurance that Nussmeier maybe won't suck next year. 

On a side note:  how hot can a $100 mil contract coach's seat get with a killer buyout the school can't afford in year 3?  We're about to find out if the defense isn't Top 20 next year.  I can't imagine what's going to go on in the Ops building when LSU lost the award-winning OC (probably unnecessarily), retained the worst DC for a single season ever, and then goes on to suck on defense again.

9 players from the two-deep are gone, including the starting center and starting RB (both NFL). Starting WR, starting DL and starting OLB.

Wisconsin losing defensive players may make a difference, depending on what Nussmeier looks like and how long the WRs play. 

Losing offensive players wouldn't worry me at all, since if the LSU defense holds serve, Wisconsin is about to look like a group of All-Stars.
