   Found one example of an Oklahoma guy doing it, and Stoops going ballistic on   
   him.  My question really came up because Chop Robinson (PSU) has opted out of   
   the bowl game.  But why did he even bother playing against Michigan State?  I   
   can sort of see the    
   Rutgers game because that was his last home game, but what relevance did the   
   MSU game have vs. the bowl game?
