I'm Chris Gordy from Locked on SEC.

And guys, I like our group we have here because we've got three guys representing

playoff teams. We've got one guy representing the lone

SEC Heisman representative.

And luckily, nobody from Notre Dame.

Good God, the tears from Notre Dame folks.

They were going to come, but they

got scared and ran away. Yeah, they quit. It's not to opt out. I know we're locked on

SEC, but what have you guys made of that? I mean, you know, it absolutely taking your ball and

going home, right? It's the softest thing I've ever seen, Chris. It's unbelievable.

Like, they had a chance to really match up with BYU or Vanderbilt and like create like

a non-playoff game, playoff game matchup wise.

It's just so soft, man.

And I just, I don't like it at all.

It's a terrible way to treat the seniors on your football team too. And And you've got a chance to play in the jersey one more time and wear the helmet one more time. You're sort of crapping on them too. Yeah, I didn't, I typically don't really care about more of the opt-out type situations. It's like whatever. But in this scenario, like, this was really just throwing a temper tantrum, which just really annoyed me. It's like if you want to prove that you are so good and you deserve to have been in there, go beat the crap out of somebody in the bowl game. Really show us who you're made of because you're going to match up against a formidable opponent possibly. And if you did, then, you know, then we'd say less.

It was supposed to be BYU and the Pop-Tart Bowl, I think.
