    Lot of guys in boots these days it seems. I'd like to think it's just a fashion statement. Everybody gets a boot and we just "cowboy up". :cool:

    There is so much chatter about players in boots. Coach ought to just fit boots for all the starters, have them all walking around in a boot. Let 'em talk!:emoji_astonished:

    3 theories
    1. Load mgmt- the best/most talented/ game changer guys (Tre, Dallas, DJ, Banks, mizell) and nobody else strangely enough are all getting vague lower body injuries. You can’t just give them time off… when they’re getting NIL money and the backups are grinding it out in 100 degree heat. So you put em in a boot and save them for LSU
    2. We don’t have great hydration/flexibility regiment and you traded beast workouts and being great in 4th 1/4 for potential tightness
    3. We are fn cursed

    I see "boot" jokes becoming the norm around here... Maybe even on the same level as Jetpacks, lasers and Andre Debose's 9th season....

    Seriously, this is crazy, right? Gotta be some sort of explanation...

    Hmm, maybe the head trainer is Canadian? And what he said to the press meant "the players are on and about the compound"? It would explain a lot!

    The good news is, "being given the boot" doesn't mean what it used to.

    If it ain't a boot, it's a scooter.
