What? No mayo bowl?I won't be watching any bowl games unless I get very bored. I'll watch the CFP but that's all.
Couldn't disagree more. I love college football and can't get enough of it. Meaningless bowl games are still games! In fact, I got no dog in the hunt but I'm thinking of driving up to Charlotte to watch the Gamecocks and Tarheels.Worth watching anymore.

And watch us lay down four quarters of three and outs with colonel zebulah or whatever people call him? Nah; seen that movie, know how it ends.What? No mayo bowl?
Back then, you could count on the people who made the season whatever it was to all show up unless incapacitated.I really don't understand the argument that the playoffs diminished the meaning of bowl games. How is the Outback Bowl, Peach Bowl, Citrus Bowl, etc diminished in any way b/c of the playoffs? No matter the system, it's never been more than the top 3 or 4 teams with a shot at the title at bowl season. The playoffs have not disenfranchised anyone. It's just going by a different name. The Outback etc means exactly as much as it did 10 years ago or 15 or 20 years ago.

The NHL is about the only exciting, non-political thing left. But my Red Wings continue to disappoint.NHL is fun to watch
Some of you just don't like football.
No excuse for not playing hard . These games are part of our season record, so you have to treat it that way and I think they willIf the team starts playing like it doesn’t want to be there then I’ll turn it off. The bowl game against UVA a few years ago was such a shame. Playing like that is usually the sign of a failed system.
What does best mean to you in this context?I quit watching bowl games years ago. These days I only watch the CFP.
And the NFL is anything but a joke. It’s the best sports league in the US and maybe the world.
You watch THG much? I don't watch him as much as I ought to, but last year, I learned about Evacuation Day (which also my birthday) from one of his videos,I believe they be going into some sort of winter depression, throw in covid, lack of pink meat & u have a perfect storm.🙁
Btw, u seen this?
He be good. Besides as an ex social guy I luv this kinda stuff……….(moderators notice how I used the word stuff🤣)You watch THG much? I don't watch him as much as I ought to, but last year, I learned about Evacuation Day (which also my birthday) from one of his videos,
I've never seen a hockey game in person but I've been told it was the most fun spectator sport ever.NHL is fun to watch
I don't think anyone has claimed the playoffs have "disenfranchised" anyone. What they have done is create a popular perception that the other bowls are diminished and, as they say, perception is reality. That perception is evidenced by the tens of thousands of empty seats at bowl games that traditionally sold out and the absent players on nearly every non-playoff bowl team.I really don't understand the argument that the playoffs diminished the meaning of bowl games.

LOL, you are right! Many years ago when I was in the air force, me and some of my buddies snagged some NHL tickets gratis from the base recreation office, it was the Denver team playing somebody, do not even remember who (40+ years ago). They were premium seats, right behind the glass. I did not understand what was going on, but at one point one of the opposing players got violently sandwiched between two Denver players right in front of me. He was flat faced against the glass, when the Denver guys backed off, he slid down the glass onto the ice. He was out cold (no pun intended). I think this was before the NHL cracked down on fighting, as there were a number of fights and shoving going on throughout the game. It was the only ice hockey match I have seen, but it was very entertaining.If you can get a seat in the corner (rinks have no corners but you know where I mean) in the first row where the action is on the boards, it is loads of fun. Nothing separating you and the physical action but a piece of fiberglass.

As an example, historically, the Orange Bowl has "meant more" than the Sun Bowl.The argument that the other bowls mean less necessitates disenfranchisement. The only way the bowls mean less is if something was taken away from the participants because of the playoffs. in any event, I just don't see why the advent of the playoffs made fans or whoever feel like the Music City Bowl suddenly wasn't as important as it was pre-playoff.
If anything has diminished the importance of bowl games it's the proliferation of bowl games.
I think there's an argument the proliferation of bowl games probably make bowls like the Mayo Bowl meaningless in a lot of eyes. But I don't think that explains why you have empty seats in the Sugar, Orange, and Cotton Bowls when those bowls aren't part of the playoffs. I don't think the Potato Bowl or Weed Eater Bowl are attracting fans who would have otherwise buy tickets to a New Year's Day Bowl.The argument that the other bowls mean less necessitates disenfranchisement.

College football is already a joke. Players are athletes only, not college athletes that represent a university. Simply a development league for the NFL. I went to the last bowl game in Charlotte when we played Virginia and wished I hadn't. From the opening kickoff, the team nor coaching staff seemed to care about being there. It's a lot to ask fans to spend time and money for that kind of effort.Worth watching anymore. Between the op outs and transfer portal...it's very discouraging.

Less so in NCAA D-II, D-III, and the NAIA. Student-athletes at that level know for the most part that playing in the NFL is not realistic (nor is a career in the CFL, nor the XFL if it ever comes back realistic). Maybe Arena Football at best).College football is already a joke. Players are athletes only, not college athletes that represent a university. Simply a development league for the NFL.
