Bowls that need to diaff

I can't stand the oversaturation of bowls over the past ten or fifteen years. It's pretty easy to schedule s***** out of conference teams, win three or four in your conference, and make one of these dumpster fires. I don't even want to give free Pub to the s***** pyramid schemes, helicopter companies, credit unions, and theme restaurants but it will be impossible not too so here goes:
The Beef o Brady Bowl - Seriously what the f*** is a beef o Brady? I'm hearing it's a restaurant... great. I hope meteor hits that s******* of a stadium & takes out whoever is playing in it.
The Car Care Bowl - oh boy, Charlotte has its own bowl game! Nobody cares. Die already.
Little Caesars Bowl - Let's have a bowl in the most bankrupt city in America! This usually involves a six and six Big 10 team and a Mac team... I've actually watched 2 or 3 because my friend is a Purdue alum... but still, please die in a fire already... or better yet, lets drop the bowl president in the middle of inner city Detroit in a KKK outfit
The New Mexico Bowl - Albuquerque is about 40 degrees this time of year. This is almost as FS as putting the Super Bowl in New Jersey.
The helicopter Bowl - I don't even know where it is. Seriously I don't know the state - I'm guessing it's Texas. " Yeah man I dreamt of making the game-winning throw in the helicopter Bowl when I was little kid. This is a dream come true!" - nobody ever.
The Poinsettia Bowl - I have no idea who plays in this. Mountain West I'm guessing? Again no one cares. The small conferences don't need more than one or two bowl bids. if they don't like it they can drop down to FCS and try to beat Montana.
The Hunger Bowl - Hey, I'm all for fighting hunger. Maybe if Kraft paid more in taxes, unemployment wouldn't be cut, and fewer people would go hungry. I want to watch a football game, not be put on a guilt trip while the same time getting ads for bad processed cheese. Since the Huskies are playing in it this year, I won't wish a tsunami on AT&T Park. Next year.
Pinstripe Bowl - Has anyone ever watched this? It's usually snowing & 25 degrees. Awesome bowl weather! New York always has to be the center of attention. They got their Super Bowl and they have their stupid f****** bowl game.
Music City Bowl - They always seem to get the worst bowl eligible SEC team against the worst eligible ACC team on a beat up field in 40 degree Nashville. Kentucky vs Wake Forest in front of 14,000 is special folks!
Heart of Dallas Bowl - The biggest travesty of this is that it's on New Years Day. New Years Day is supposed to be special. For you folks under 25, they used to play all the major bowl games on NYD - Rose, Sugar, Orange, Fiesta, Cotton - it really meant something when you played on January 1st. It meant you're probably a conference champion or in the top 15. Now it's been cheaped to 7-5 teams in a commercial for the Dallas Fort Worth Cham@ber of Commerce. FML man...

tl;dr version: every bowl except the BCS bowls.

Quality rant. Really the answer is to make every bowl require 8 wins to qualify, only exception would be undivided conference champs. Then pretty much every bowel you list (and then some) goes *poof* like a fact-based post at Doogman or eQuook.

THIS made me lol.....

I heart old school Cotton Bowl.
Damn to hell Fiesta for hijacking the spotlight with Penn State v. Miami -
The part that makes me lol is FMB actually believes this shit.McRib said:THIS made me lol.....

Who cares how many bowls there are? It's not as if you have to watch them. If the game interests yiu watch, if not, don't. What's the fucking big deal? It doesn't hurt me if some team I don't care about plays in a bowl game I don't care about.

ESPN now owns 8 bowl games.
Every game on your list will get better ratings than an NCAA or NBA bball game on the same day.
If people stopped watching Bowls, there would be fewer bowls on tv.
Once it is in ESPN's best interest to not televise 37 bowl games, they will not televise 37 bowl games. -
Kraft does not sponsor the fight hunger bowl

Eight wins for bowl eligibility. eh? Good to see you're not a retro-duck.AZDuck said:Quality rant.

One of the problems with all these bowl games is that it allows people to settle for mediocrity (as we have seen here) and call it success.
-
the potato bowl
-
If we're going to start bashing Cheez Wiz, I'm out
-
What about the Toilet Bowl? (lol)
-
Guys, let's not leave the BBVA Compass Bowl out of this...
-
The players in the Beef bowl probably appreciate the free Galaxy Tab 3 and Oakley swag they're getting.
-
Cereal Bowl.
-
Probably couldn't afford it after all those taxes they paid.RavennaDawg said:Kraft does not sponsor the fight hunger bowl

Fish Bowl.
-
Bread Bowl.

Bread bowls are delicious. You need to DIAFF.allpurpleallgold said:Bread Bowl.

The bowls are almost all just routine non-conference games spread out over the holidays. The whole setup needs to go and be replaced with real playoffs. Condoleeza Rice and Coach Wilingham picking the final four is not playoffs either. The small fry need at least a chance to go the distance.

What about the Sark bowl on December 27th in San Francisco?
-
We need shitty bowls, because most ADs are too pussy to schedule good teams during the regular season.
-
Rice Bowl! ... anyone?
-
I'm surprised BYU qualified for that one considering they weren't 5-4 in conferenceHe_Needs_More_Time said:What about the Sark bowl on December 27th in San Francisco?

On another note, fuck the Capital One Bowl
I want the Tangerine Bowl (1947–1982) and/or Citrus Bowl (1983–2002) back. Rename it the Lemon Bowl and party appropriately -
the sponsors are the worst. Most of them don't line up at all with the bowls. Such as Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl, National university (WTF? is a national university) Holliday Bowl, Royal Purple las vegas bowl, R+L carriers New Orleans Bowl.
I can't believe none of u have mentioned the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowel -
The BCS bowls need to DIAFF the most. Hear me out before you call me a quook. I'm not making this argument based on being pissed about Oregon getting left out. Case in point. The Sugar Bowl: Oklahoma vs. Alabama. Nationally, does this shit show hold any interest whatsoever outside of Alabama and Oklahoma? No. Have people been pining to see this matchup for years? Hell no. Oregon did not deserve to be in a BCS bowl this year. However the powers that be could have arranged this matchup, knowing the level of national interest would be very high. People have been wanting to see this game forever. But no, they choose business interests over interesting matchups. Same for the shit show Orange Bowl. Who the fuck wants to see Clemson? Fucking nobody. I won't even mention the Fiesta Bowl this year. The BCS bowls need to DIAFI- die in a fucking inferno. Replace them with an 8 team playoff and ditch this silly idea of a committee. Use the BCS formula, which works pretty damn well in my opinion, to determine the top 8 seeds.

Doggy Bowl.

What I've learned from this thread is that everything about everything is a travesty.
Seems pretty accurate.
