Bowl season has officially started.

Appalachian State-Miami (OH) is fun, playing in a monsoon.

What a bummer to make this bowl game the year it's not in the Bahamas.

Was working so I missed it, but I saw ODU was up 35-14 over Western Kentucky late in the third and figured I'd missed another one of my bowl picks.

Just looked and WKU won 38-35 in OT.

I used to soak in every second of bowl games I could in prep for 8 1/2 months of no college football. I maybe watched an hour on Saturday and neither weekday game so far. Optouts, early portal, interim coaching staffs have made these all irrelevant and pointless.

I just realized there's a Pop-Tarts Bowl.

Yeah, bowl season used to be kind of special.

-Going back 20 years, there were like 25 bowl games versus the 40+ that we have now. So, it was a little more special.

-The games kind of felt important. There wasn't this stigma that if you're not in championship game then the game is meaningless, resulting in many kids opting out. Crazy how much has changed with the culture of college football in just 20 years.

Now I can hardly be bothered with bowl games unless it's the championship game or UGA is playing.

Tell that to the kids playing.

I watched the QB for WKU in tears, drop down to his knees after their comeback win.

Looking at the play (even with the blowouts) - the chippiness, trash talking, excitement after big plays, etc., it's just like the regular season, even if the game doesn't mean anything to most.

I may not have time anymore to watch all the games, but I will try, because even with transfers, opt outs, coaching changes, etc., these players still care.

UCF with a pretty amazing interception… if it stands.

Joe Milton opting out of the Citrus Bowl. So Nico gets to make his first collegiate start.

Re: 2023 Bowl Games Discussion

They are saying like 20 players have opted out for FSU. Naturally GA hasn't had anyone opt out. Lol. Should be a good game [emoji2]

Marvin Harrison Jr is still undecided if he's going to play or not. Like damn. That's cutting it close in my opinion.

I don’t watch many non playoff bowls, that’s such a weird bowl how they were talking about Mayo the entire game
