Technically, most bowl games have NEVER been a factor in the national championship outside of maybe 2 games annually, if that.

My only issue is allowing 6-6 teams to go to bowl games. Nebraska, for example, should not be in a bowl game. You should at least go 7-5 to be invited.

You posted about bowl games last year.

Why do they suddenly not matter now?

So, have you watched zero bowl games this holiday season? I love having those on the TV; I still enjoy watching every one of them

I agree with that. When Marshall dropped out of their bowl game vs Army, 5-7 La Tech took their place. Ridiculous.

Sorry you're not a fan of football. This must be a hard board for you to frequent.

The 70 or so teams playing them welcome the extra practices which they use to develop the younger guys moving up to 1st or 2nd unit.

And let's not forget those great swag bags.

Teams get the extra practice, which is good for them.


This really can't be understated. Wherever those players wind up next season, they'll be more experienced.

Saw that going over the bowl schedule and thought that has to be a misprint.

Nope, a sponsorship for his Gin & Juice company.

He's everywhere.

Dog for Prez next?

Idk. Ask all the empty seats and non-viewers.
And yes, things have changed since last year. If you can’t see the decline, you’re not looking.

Actually, I won’t. That’s kind of the point. I don’t even care if it’s my team. I used to care, but not anymore.


Yet you are here making posts about not caring.

It seems off.

I remember when I stopped caring for things in my past. It coincided with not talking about those things.

Maybe, eventually, you truly won't care. You'll know it happened when you stop thinking about college football bowl games at all.

I hope you get there.
