So you remember a time when bowl games were great?

Can you tell me the humans who made bowl games trash?

It sounds like the same people who liked bowl games bc they meant something real are the same ones who hate them now.

Yes, You didn't always have 1 vs 2, many times various bowls determined who would be the AP/UPI #1. It was great when they actually meant something.

But it was usually the big4 on NY eve and NY day.

Pre-bowl coalition/alliance, you could have 3-4 games played on New Years that would determine the national champion.

Absolutely. New Year's Day was like Christmas growing up.

I still like them. If someone can watch Mizzou celebrating the Cotton Bowl, see WKU's QB getting emotional after that wild comeback in the Famous Toastery Bowl, or see Martell Irby's interview after the Alamo Bowl, and say it's all meaningless, then I have to assume they don't like college football.
