Right, and that's great for you. For others, any decently matched football game can be fun to watch. That's why people watch HS football and NFL games.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:

What are you going to watch instead?Fire_Marshall_Bill said:I'm honestly curious here. I'm not going to bother watching Tulane and UCF, which are both top 25 teams. Why would I watch the Toilet Bowl with 6-6 Bowling Green and 7-5 Southwest Florida Atlantic Barber's College?
They need to kill 2/3 of these stupid games.
As long as TV ratings are good, we'll continue to have 40+ bowls each year -
Coming clean here: I’ve watched none of the shitfest so far outside of part of SJSU playing Eastern Michigan while eating lunch at a bar one day. Some brutal gaymes so far.FireTheJanitor said:

Because once they're over, there isn't anything else worth watching until April. It's hard...letting go of CFB right as dark winter has set in. I'm depressed just thinking about it.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:I'm honestly curious here. I'm not going to bother watching Tulane and UCF, which are both top 25 teams.

So we that can crush the power 5 teams that lose them.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:I'm honestly curious here. I'm not going to bother watching Tulane and UCF, which are both top 25 teams. Why would I watch the Toilet Bowl with 6-6 Bowling Green and 7-5 Southwest Florida Atlantic Barber's College?

Quitter USC vs Tulane in a NY6 is a fucking abortion. -
Nothing else better to do in my case

Did you watch Coastal Carolina against ECU in the Birmingham Bowel? If so, you need to take a walk on the beach and get some perspective on where your life went wrongbackthepack said:Nothing else better to do in my case

I watched almost all of it. It’s football, who cares? Kansas coming back from 25 to lose in triple OT to Arkansas was fun. Not gonna see the great games unless you’re committed to them all. I’M COMMITTED!!!GrundleStiltzkin said:

I don't. Both on principle - I don't want to contribute to the viewership - and I too have many other things I'd rather watch and do.
Rewarding mediocrity with some stupid post-season game is fs. If I were in charge, any team under 9 wins wouldn't be bowl eligible and I'd go back to the non-corporate names, and then only have the Rose, Orange, Sugar, Fiesta, Cotton and then maybe like the Gator, Citrus, Holiday, Alamo and Peach. 10 bowls, 20 teams and that's fucking it. WFC about anything beyond that?

ESPN doesn’t give a shit if you watch or not. They have so much air time to fill on their 8 different channels hence the Boca Vista Bowl. 3.5-4 hours of air time filled with bad runs paying ESPN.creepycoug said:I don't.

As much as I hate ESPN, I have to remind myself that without them, I’m probably not seeing 70% of the games currently televised.
