re: Bowl games

Unfortunately- for me- bowl games outside of the playoff don’t mean anything in the way they used to. Hell- there are only 2 games on New Year’s Day anymore.

I guess for underclassmen it means more practice or whatever- but it’s barely a reward anymore in the way becoming “bowl eligible” used to mean.

Now, I’m not on the chamber of some mid sized city that likes the $20 M in tourism- I’m only speaking as a fan.


I say no. Bowls are sort of obsolete in so many ways from having prestige or meaning. They mainly are the last grasp of what a season was before the long offseason.

Unfortunately- I miss the old days of college football. Even if it was rigged or had no clear winner- at least an 8-4 or 9-3 season didn’t feel like a total disappointment.
