There is no way people actually enjoy these bowl games now

This First Responders Bowl has felt like it’s been on all night.
With the playoffs, these games are a joke and a money grab.
I feel like if you say you’re into these, you’re trying too hard to be a “football guy”. Someone ask Moscona how many of these games he’s watched. That dork is always shouting how more football is good.
Also, who the hell goes to the watchESPN app to see the trophy presentations for these games?

At no point in history would UTSA vs FIU be a big draw.

There's only a few weeks left of games, it's pretty easy to ignore these.

I mean, wasn’t that always true even before the playoffs? The vast majority of bowl games were always “meaningless” in terms of the national title (even the NY6). If you cared about them before then you can continue to care about them now. If you didn’t care about them before then you don’t have to care about them now.

Bowl games are always shitty before Christmas. They will start to get a little better tomorrow and progressively better through new year till the end of the playoffs. Some of you people have nothing better to do then bitch. If you don’t like football, don’t watch, we don’t care

Lower tier bowls are usually the bteer ones. The teams generally are happy to be there and try to get one last win for their teams.
It's usually the schools that think they're too good for whatever bowl they're in that treat it like a scrimmage and make it a bore to watch.

I feel it could be legit form of punishment to force someone to watch one of these meaningless bowls between 6-6 / 7-5 record teams

I legitimately enjoyed the Hawaii Bowl on Christmas Eve.

Me too. The Rate Bowl that went into OT today was good, too. The lower tier bowls are often the most entertaining every year.
I'll never understand why this board hates more football.

I'm a Football Junkie. All good here.
Gives me a chance to check out 2 teams UTSA vs FIU i normally would not be watching on Saturday's during the regular season.
Doesn't help that Notre Dame ; Iowa State & K State declined offers.
These Bowl games still mean plenty judging by the Brawls (Hawaii/ Cal + Louisville/Toledo)

But the players and fans truly cared about winning them which made every bowl game more special. Now i don't even care if my team wins it. Many of the players only been there a year or 2 and will transfer out next season anyway. I used to go to some of the bowl games but now I wouldn't even consider it.

The real problem is not really the playoffs, although that has added fuel to the fire. The real issue is over saturation. There are just too many damn bowls. This has been brewing for years. They need to get rid of a bunch of these bowls. My first thought is a minimum of 8 wins to be eligible for a bowl game.

Thsse bowl games have always been a joke and no one ever goes to them
My favorite is the Bahamas bowl
We need the 24 team playoff to start

Thou art forbidden to gainsay one called Matt Mascona.

Matchups in bowl games at this point in the bowl season are as irrelevant as they have always been.

Are we really going to just pretend the bowls and bowl interest is the same as 10 years ago?
Penn state and Clemson play today as well as two ranked teams in Tech and BYU
You telling me those games will have same viewership, attendance, and discussion on this board as they would have had in 2010?

People bitching about bowls they don’t even watch are the worst part bowl season.

I didn’t seek it out, but the Gopher game last night was on where I was at and I watched most of it.
It was a fun game to watch.
