Why do people watch the fourth and fifth tier bowl games?
They need to kill 2/3 of these stupid games.

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. Why would I watch the Toilet Bowl with 6-6 Bowling Green and 7-5 Southwest Florida Atlantic Barber's College?

It’s my last gasp of being a selfish parent/husband. After CFB I’m required to resume a full share of parenting duties. I slack horribly during the season and my wife lets me. The bowl games extend my time away from my wife and kids. That time is important to me. I’ll be back to sharing in the taking my kids to piano, martial arts, basketball, softball etc. making dinners, lunches, laundry. I’m really a very invested parent/husband for 9 months out of the year.chuck said:

Never heard tell of a point spread?

Many happy memories of pretending to work in mid-December whilst streaming the Bahamas Bowel or whatever.

I haven't bet since last winter, but if I'm going to, I want to at least have a little knowledge and familiarity with the teams. If it's a MAC team versus Memphis or something, there's none.

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:

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:

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. -

I don’t know how anyone could bash the Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowel. Any time you have a chance to watch powerhouses like Minnesota and Syracuse play, you have to take it. You just have to.

I’m watching as I type this. I’m a looser and I’m okay with it. It’s better than bagging groceries and stacking cans. Go Gophers! Go Orangemen! Why not?EsophagealFeces said:I don’t know how anyone could bash the Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowel.

I’m also looking forward to rooting against FSU today. The hype train for “The job Mike Norvell has done” and Florida States nine wins and if there were a twelve team playoff “no one would want to play the Noles” has been thoroughly annoying. Getting their doors blown off by a 6 win Oklahoma team would be heartwarming. I’ll be watching!

This SU-UM game is an abortion of football. The field is such shit. They shouldn’t play the game at Yankee stadium.
