Thanks ... I thought he was a true freshman. Good news for the rest of the SEC West since our guys have to face him! Of course, maybe he should just sit out this year and protect himself ;)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Did you write a similar article when Peyton Manning &lt;em&gt;elected&lt;/em&gt; to stay at Tennessee for his final year of eligibility rather than going to the pros? 

I could understand this if he were eligible to move up to the NFL but had chosen to remain at South Carolina. Yes, that would be a difficult call because he&#039;d be risking his future earnings for no reason. But Clowney doesn&#039;t have any other choice. He can stay at South Carolina ... or he can sit at home, let his skills atrophy, let the scouts forget about him, watch his draft stock tumble. Since when is that the advice we give college players?

Hey ... Johnny Manziel just became the first freshman to win a Heisman and he won&#039;t be eligible to make the jump for a couple of years. Maybe he should just sit out until then--you know, to preserve himself--and hope no one forgets his great first year.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How is this a story?! Who actually believe Clowney should sit this season? Risk of injury exists around every corner for every top player in college that is not draft eligible and its always been that way. Media makes players look like clowns for holding out for a contract but this would be pretty much the same thing so its beyond me why Florio and the other PFT cronies think this is some hugggge risk Clowney is taking. Football players should play football, not playing because of fear shows your not ready for NFL football anyways]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;All that’s easy for Spurrier to say, because he keeps getting paid even when Marcus Lattimore’s knee gets turned into spaghetti.&quot;

Are you kidding me?  You act like Lattimore is the first player in college football to have a significant knee injury.  Furthermore you make it sound like Spurrier dove at his knee himself.  No coach wants their players to get hurt and every coach wants their players to recovery fully from an injury.  What is your point PFT?  Spurrier was answering these ludicrous questions that other people asked.  Of course he wants this guy to play.  So do his teammates.  Are you implying that every college football player that will get drafted should not play the year before in an effort to reduce injury?  Who writes this stuff?  You&#039;re an idiot.  That&#039;s the stupidest thing I&#039;ve every heard.]]></description>
