re: How excited are y’all about Citrus Bowl?

3 - a noon game against Purdue that is in the same time slot as the Tulane vs USC game doesn't do it for me.

oh come on, man.

"New Years Day bowl" is from decades ago, and meant one of the big 5 bowls: Rose, Orange, Sugar, Cotton, Fiesta, which were all played on Jan. 1.

There are so many bowls now that merely because they're played on Jan. 1 or 2 doesn't mean they're a good bowl.

Now, "New Years 6" are the big bowls, and means Rose, Sugar, Orange, Cotton, Peach, and Fiesta.

Merely because we're playing on Jan. 2 doesn't mean it's a top-tier bowl game.
