Piss Poor Bowl Games

Looking over the list of bowl games there are WAY too many bowls. We've got some real stinkers that are going to be financial flops.
New Mexico Bowl - Albequerque, NM
Wyoming 8-4 vs Temple 8-4
actually might be a decent game for the 1,600 people that show up to watch.
Potato Bowl - Boise, ID
Ohio 9-4 vs Utah St. 7-5
New Orleans Bowl - N.O.
San Diego St. 8-4 vs. ULL 8-4
Not bad matchup but this game isn't gonna fill hotel rooms.
Beef O'Brady Bowl - St. Petersburg, FL
Fl Int'l 8-4 vs. Marshall 6-6
Why? seriously why?
Las Vegas Bowl - LV
Boise St. 11-1 vs. Arizona St. 6-6
not too exciting a match up, maybe Burfict will break a foot off in Kellen Moore's arse and walk it out all over Chris Petersen.
Independence Bowl - Shreveport, LA
UNC 7-5 vs. Mizzou 7-5
Just stay home.
Little Caseser's Bowl - Detroit, MI
W. Mich 7-5 vs. Purdue 6-6
Winner get a $5 Hot-n-ready?
Belk Bowl - Charlotte, NC
NC State 7-5 vs. L'ville 7-5
I have no problem w/ this bowl. It's a nice regional matchup
Military Bowl - Washington DC
Armed Forces Bowl - Dallas
These are bowls for the sake of having bowls and using the military connection to sell it. At least the first one has a service academy in it. The bowl in Dallas is BYU vs. Tulsa (exciting!)
Holiday Bowl - San Diego, CA
Cal 7-5 vs. Texas 7-5
A pillowfight if there ever was one.
Champs Sports Bowl - Orlando, FL
FSU 8-4 vs. Notre Dame 8-4
About 20 years past being relevant
Alamo Bowl - San Antonio
Baylor 9-3 vs. Washington 7-5
Baylor beats OU and Texas, has the Heisman winner and this is the best bowl they can get? Against a Pac 12 patsy?
Pinstripe Bowl - NYC
Rutgers 8-4 vs. Iowa St. 6-6
I like the concept but it's gotta have bigger teams.
Music City Bowl - Nashville
MSU 6-6 vs. Wake Forest 6-6
really?
Insight Bowl - Tempe, AZ
Oklahoma 9-3 vs. Iowa 7-5
yawn.
Meineke Bowl - Houston
Tejas Jr. 6-6 vs. N'western 6-6
snoozer.
Sun Bowl - El Paso, TX
Ga. Tech 8-4 vs. Utah 7-5
Juarez is lovely for witnessing murders.
Liberty Bowl - Memphis
Vanderbilt 6-6 vs. Cincy 9-3
Didn't this bowl used to have marquee teams and players in it?
Fight Hunger Bowl - San Fran
Illinois 6-6 vs. UCLA 6-7
aka the Fight crappy coaching bowl, or the Fight good football bowl.
Chick-fil-A Bowl - Atlanta
Virginia 8-4 vs. Auburn 7-5
No problem here, hope UVA can do some work. Auburn is a disgrace, they lost the LeGit National Championship belt to Clemson and the ACC, only fitting an also ran ACC whips them to end the year.
Ticket City Bowl - DAllas
Houston 12-1 vs. Ped St. 9-3
I don't mind this match up, but I do hate that the bowl even exists
Outback Bowl - Tampa
Mich. St. 10-3 vs. UGA 10-3
Solid bowl matchup there.
Cap One - Orlando
Nebraska 9-3 vs. South Carolina 10-2
Not sure how either of those teams have those records.
Gator Bowl - Jacksonville
Florida 6-6 vs Ohio St. 6-6
aka the CUM bowl that's the only thing that makes this game interesting and how far from grace both programs fell this year.

Yeah. But they're still fun to bet on and get drunk for. Why you mad bro?

Because despite what everyone has been saying and predicting about each team both have been able to find ways to win?

and FYI there aren't many people looking at the bowl slate and thinking "damn I can't wait to see that KSU vs Arky match-up"

Leave my hometown outta this.
And really, not that bad of a game. Not to mention preview of one of our future brethren

try winning some bowl games before you talk about others. If MS State didn't have an instate rival, like U Pig enjoys, then we would probably consistently make better bowls

And on jan 10, we will miss having every one of those games for the next 8 months.

Hell yeah. I'm very excited about the Indy bowl, considering earlier projections featured Wyoming vs WF.

Can't disagree with that. We'll be in the thick of recruiting, then a couple weeks off for hoops and March Madness. Then Spring games, then recruiting the next crop and summer workouts, and before you know it, August will be here. Yay!

Most years, Arky can't even get into a piss poor game, so... why the hate Piggy?!

We're not excited for it either. I really thought it'd be Ark v. OU.
If we're gonna have a BCS and the rankings the top 10 should go to the 5 bcs bowls bar none. 1 v 2, 3 v 4, 5 v 6 and so on.

THAT would be the huge financial flop.

You left off Kansas State vs Arkie matchup in the Cotton Bowl which I think is one of the most terrible ones IMO. Gonna be a snoozer unless Arkie lives up to their repuation of underperforming in bowl games.

I'm not even gonna listen to bowl talk from a UK fan. Even tho your avi does have dreamy eyes, lol

I don't give a damn about ull's football team, but I did go there before LSU and I can guarantee they will bring some serious talent to NOLA

Posted on 12/11/11 at 4:01 pm to CtotheVrzrbck
arkansas needed those bowls in the past.
Explain to me how this effects you and your team you are a fan of?
By the way this thread already has happened.
