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

As of the end of the BGSU/Minnesota game, there have been 18 bowl games played up to now. I can honestly say that I haven’t watched a single down of a single game. Zero.
That’s not to brag, but I just don’t have any interest anymore. There are far too many games with far too many crappy teams, not to mention the opt-outs. I’ll watch LSU and the CFP games, but that’s probably going to be it.
If today’s me had told 25 years ago me that, that guy would have called me crazy.

I forgot that bowl season even started. Not only have I not watched any, but I don’t know the results of any.

None. I hope you feel better.

This was always the case, at least from the mid-90's on.
You're just older now and, while you still hold your fandom, you also realize how trivial college football and sports in general is compared to when you were a kid and thought it was the most important thing on the planet.

I watched the first quarter of the New Mexico Bowl because it might be the only time in my life that New Mexico State is playing in a bowl game.

Like you, I have not watched a single down yet.
Posted on 12/26/23 at 5:26 pm to High C
None. Will watch CFP and maybe A&M game

Does watching extensive coverage of a backup QB's wedding plans count?

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.

Is this for real? I've watched about 5 quarters or so thus far. This is hard to believe.
I'm interested in the night game tonight, however - Kansass and UNLV.

Arizona-Oklahoma is the first game I am somewhat interested in, then I’ll watch for a few days.
Posted on 12/26/23 at 5:54 pm to High C
I’ve watched a few here and there but haven’t really watched a full game yet
I’m going to the Mayo bowl tomorrow which should be fun. But UNC hasn’t even come close to selling their tickets. They are even on Ticketmaster and seetgeek on the UNC side for FV. We sold out out allocation in one day and they opened up the the upper deck for WVU fans. We are going to out number them big time. Really thought it would be like when we played them last time in Charlotte being a sell out split done the middle 50/50.
I’m just there to drink and swear at Neal Brown.

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.

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
