re: How many bowl games have you watched all or part of thus far this year?

I've probably seen 12 or so out of the 18 games. A couple happened before Christmas vacation started for me, but otherwise my office TV has stayed on ESPN. It's usually background noise--not sitting here watching every play--but I thoroughly enjoy this part of football season.
My excuse is that I grew up without TV. I only got to see pieces of games played when we'd be traveling. My folks let me rent a TV for 3 days circa 1989/1990. Got it NYE and took it back Jan 2. Spent the intervening hours watching as much football as I could. So, yeah, coming from that background, watching live sports is a big part of my adult life.

I don’t know. I was still watching most of the games until 2020. It’s like COVID and the lockdowns flipped a switch. I can’t even attempt to explain it.
For me outside of LSU my interest in CFB overall has been declining for a while now. This year like most I’ve seen bits and pieces of some bowl games but haven’t watched any from start to finish. I’ll watch LSU and parts of whatever other games are on at that time and maybe the Sugar Bowl but that’s about it.

Had it on but barely paid attention but I've never really paid much attention to the bowls until the major conference teams start showing up.

I used to live for the bowl games
It was my favorite time of the year
I did so much research for my pick em pools
Now.. it’s meh. I don’t think I’ve watched an entire game all the way so far
Plus most of the matchups aren’t any good … adding that to the portal and you don’t know who the hell is or is not playing or coaching and it’s basically every games a surprise

I like Arizona to win big over Oklahoma

Used to watch every bowl game. I don’t think I’ve watched a full game if I’d add up all the minutes watched so far this year.

I find it ironic that people run to a message board to post that they don't watch bowl games.
It's college football in late December. That's enough for me to catch at least some of it.
My thoughts exactly. There's nothing else better on TV.

Watched Tech/Cal. Good game to start and then utterly boring.
Will probably watch lsu. That’s it.

I have been busy but have watched probably 2 games so far. I try to watch them cause I know I’ll miss football w month from now.

I'll be an honest guy here. I think I've watched some or all of every one of them. It's just an easy thing to do. I have two big screens somewhat side by side and just mute back and forth depending on what I'm really watching. Have TSU/Rice on now but also OKC/Twolves. Both a bit of white noise as I do varied other things

Zero. I have no interest watching bowl games. It was fun treat to have a bowl game to watch in the 1990’s. Now, not so much since it is a cool thing to opt out of a bowl exhibition game.

I never understand this. It’s college football. It gives me something to watch at the camp. if you don’t want to watch it, there are a lot more channels

Zero so far-
But some good games are starting to come up.
Think Tulane tomorrow and SC-Lousiville
