The Rest of College Football

[Hannibal]

The first bowl game of this season was played like the day after the selection show. Very strange.



At least to me, Herb is right.
I use to enjoy most bowl games. Perhaps that had to do with being in a ~50 person pool where we pick the winner of all bowl games.
Now? Don’t really care about the non-Playoff bowl games.

I never had any affinity for the crappy bowl games that started popping up before December 26, but IMHO there is some value in the second tier Cotton, Citrus, Holiday, etc level bowls that is being lost with the push to the playoffs. College football has lost a lot of its value has a Holiday season staple.

Truthfully I haven't watched much college football this year and I am much more jazzed about the EPL. Festive Fixtures > Bowl Season

I feel the same. Most bowl games that occur before Christmas are a waste of time. As they get closer to Dec 31, they usually tend to get better. This year, I think they could have went with the NYD bowls and maybe a handful of others, and called it good.

Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic tonight! Oklahoma - Florida has some sizzle.

I'm looking forward to a Festivus Bowl someday...

You should be looking at a discount plan for all the weddings you'll have to pay for.

The early bowl games are are worth it to the teams that are in them and the fans that follow those teams. My wife is an App State alum and their fan base is all about the bowl that they go to. In a non-covid year, those bowls have a huge economic impact on the cities that host them as well.

Hey, whatever happened to Najee Harris?

[lineygoblue]

Last I heard he was the president of the Megan Rapinoe fan club.

[Mike]

Oh, wow how the mighty have fallen.

[iam416]

Herman out. Sark in?

[Cody_Russell]

Whoa, big news there.

Tom Herman, the hot hot hot head coach name of a few years ago. How the “mighty” have fallen!

Sark at Texas? If Sark is past his personal issues, he was a good coach at Washington.

[AlabamAlum]

Sark is an alcoholic. He absconds with church funds and squeezes puppies to death for fun.

I’m sick to fucking tears of playing in a BCS game or CFP with a lameduck coordinator. And what Saban asst has made a great HC? Jimbo maybe? Kirby, I guess, Mario. But even those are a stretch.

[Cody_Russell]

Jimbo and Kirby are unquestionably top 10 HCs in college football right now.

- Kirby consistently has Georgia in the top 10.
- Jimbo won a national championship, made A&M relevant, and won at FSU.
- Mario has done a fine job at Oregon.
- Mark Dantonio was incredible at MSU.
- Lane Kiffin, Mike Locksley, TBD.
- Derek Dooley, Jim McElwain, Jeremy Pruitt, and Will Muschamp... all bad. Though Muschamp deserves a job as a DC somewhere.
