I wouldn't worry about it. They can only practice as much as they can, and they deserve to enjoy sightseeing, and doing things. They've been doing this for years.. and lot of players have been to Sugar Bowl before, so they know how to keep young players out of trouble. I think CNS wants our players to be relaxed and have fun... Earlier in the year, our players was too focused, too business like, and it hurted us... It took Arkansas game to finally relax and I don't think they will change that anytime soon.

I made a joke about it earlier in a different thread.
It isn't a big deal. He was just having fun during the interview.

I just don't get how this is bad. If you think all our guys are sitting in the hotel doing nothing this week you better turn the channel now...
Exactly, this bowl game is also a reward for all their hard work. Let them have some fun.
Good lord. There is absolutely nothing wrong with what he said. Or anything wrong with spending some time in the French Quarter or on Bourbon. I find it hard to believe that anyone would have a problem with this. Do you expect them to hang out in the hotel until game time? If they have free time in New Orleans they should spend some time seeing New Orleans. It is one of the best US cities to visit, and they should spend some time in it.
Be careful. Pretty sure you'll get 15yds and a fine.
Everyone just chill out and breathe

I don't get the big deal about what he said. "Living it up" may be a regional thing. It's the basically saying I had a good time. I remember when I was younger if I slept in on the weekend my Grand Dad would say he is living it up. If a guy gets sent home for saying he had a good time with no further context that would send a bad message to the team. For all we know living it up for him could be eating the good food in that part of town. I really don't think there is anything to be excused. There is even a song that says living it up living the God in me. This may be a cultural and a regional thing but I have heard that term all my life and always took it to mean the enjoyment of the pleasures of the moment. Carpe diem.
Well said, Mystical.
I don't think anyone who posted was all that serious about CNS being mad. It's a tribute really to a coach who expects (and demands) respect and dedication to the game and the task at hand.
Good fun - great video - and as I said IMHO stuff like this keeps the players loosened up enough to be able to play better.
Because it's on SDS/ESPN and would be posted eventually. So you think it should be OOB for discussion? This is a discussion board and very little is banned for discussion...
I'm just saying there really isn't anything to discuss about it. They were asking the players silly questions and players of both schools were having fun with it. Good to see everyone is loose and having fun before such a big game
I didn't say they didn't deserve some time off , I said that in the comment. But this opportunity may only come around once in your life, make sure you maximize that opportunity. The days of fun bowl games are pretty much over. The players have to do some things on your own, given the limited time with coaches. Hope I am wrong, and this video is just the players being loose.
This isn't the last game of the year......so......Maybe it's just me -- but, go and have fun on Bourbon -- on January 2nd.....3rd -- whatever....until then -- maybe watch a little extra film -- do a few pushups -- write your Mama a letter.....
If you win, go have fun -- if you lose -- go have fun.....but I'd prefer any "over the top" fun wait until 1/2/15
