College Football

I used to be a college football nut.  Mostly the 80's and early 90's.  Since then I haven't payed much attention since and I see there are 39 bowl games!  And the names...Cure Bowl, First Responder Bowl, Lending Tree bowl, Gasparilla Bowl, et al.  What the hell is a Gasparilla?

Take me back to when they had 16-18 bowl games and I'll be happy.  Take me back to that barn burner that was the 1989 Holiday Bowl.  Penn St. 50  BYU 39.

Or that boring 1983 Cotton Bowl.  SMU 7  Pitt 3.  Yawn.  How do you have Dan Marino on one side and Eric Dickerson on the other, and that's the score?

I had a similar conversation a few days ago. Years from now, how impressed are fans going to be seeing a "Cheez It Bowl Champion" banner hanging is some stadium?

The CFP system has relegated all but two bowls to NIT status.  I prefer the "every bowl for itself" process used prior to 1992.  Not only did that system allow for more imaginative pairings, it also made several bowls relevant in determining a national champion.

I enjoyed the Rose Bowl.  It looked like the Buckeyes were going to get blown out by Utah in the first half, but the second half was spectacular.  Worth watching the first just to watch the second.  The performance put on by Jaxon Smith-Njigba and CJ Stroud was amazing to watch.

Utah had the coolest Rose Bowl helmets I've ever seen.

Yeah, they were really psyched-up to play in their first Rose Bowl.

Those are pretty sweet.

Heh heh.  Yeah, I'd rather see a Liberty Bowl banner in the stadium than a Duke's Mayo Bowl one.  At least the winning coach had 5 gallons of mayo poured over him after the game.  Why isn't there a Gatorade Bowl? 

[ShayP]

Ya know, it would not surprise me that with all the commercials focusing on prescription drugs that we will eventually see a bowl game named after one.

The Humira Bowl.  Or even do the poop test one.  The Cologuard Bowl.  The winning coach can give a sample.

Heh, heh.  Here’s Dabo in his Cheez-It Bowl outfit.

LOL!  I don't know but I'm sure each head coach would get this on their locker room wall before the game.

Ya know, for the after game ceremony.

I enjoyed the National Championship byline ... Battle between the walk-on QB vs the Heisman QB...

I watched the game on ESPN alternate channel with their "Skycast" presentation. That was better, for the most part than the traditional presentation. I enjoy watch the play from behind the QB. I wish that the NFL would wake up and give fans that viewing option.

ESPN said it had 100-cameras for the game.
Go Dawgs.

Good ol' College Football Fun... and the NIL...
