Cowherd this morning was castigating all of the bowl games scheduled in the coming weeks that don't amount to anything except a waste of time and I'm wondering what all of you think..??
Counting the national championship bowl game on Jan 9th there are 42 total bowl games and only a handful are worthwhile in his and my opinion...
Almost a third of the teams involved have no better than a 6-6 record and don't have the type of followings that will swell the crowds in Tucson for instance...
I'm looking at the bowl line-up and there might be about a half dozen games I may actually watch, out of those 42 games...
And, I don't think I'm alone, due to the saturation of meaningless bowl games, and I also think most players would rather spend their holidays with their family and friends rather than be trapped in a place like Santa Clara for the Foster Farms bowl on December 28th (where Indiana 6-6 meets Utah 8-4)...
I'll watch Alabama crush Wash in the Peach Bowl and Clemson vs Ohio St in the Fiesta Bowl but don't really care too much about the other bowls...
So, are there way too many bowl games these days and, if so, how many should there be to make things more respectable and meaningful..??
Cowherd also concluded that those extra practices that bowl teams get don't amount to a hill of beans in trying to close the gap against other, better programs...
Is he right about that..??
Go Devils!!!
