[Comment From LSU Tiger Uppercut]
Why did RJF enter the draft? He had a subpar year and is not gonna be a first rounder. He had years of eligibility left and could have regained the post BCS MVP hype to launch him into the first round. Just does not seem like a smart move. Your thoughts?

Uppercut, it's not always about where you get drafted. Believe it or not, some of these "student-athletes" are nearly all athlete and not much student. SOme of these guys are ready to play football for pay and not be hassled with school. Even if he's picked in the middle rounds, he's going to make some money for a few years because he has a reputation among the scouts.

Jim, What do you think is the outlook for the basketball team next year. Do you think it's rebuilding or are we ready to take the next step?

I'm assuming the fence is fixed at the Box and all is a go tonight? If tonight is cancelled, is tomorrow's doubleheader going to be a 7-inning job per the SEC or do they get to go 9 since it's not a Sunday travel day?

Rebuilding.
