Bowl Season Starts Today
Mates,
I just noticed that the bowl season opens today. I note, as one article said, only gamblers and football junkies will be interested so I figured this was the place for those types. The contests don't look overly exciting, as you would expect, with the exception that the Houston v. SDSU game might be pretty good. Interestingly the tickets to that game in Vegas show $9 which seems like quite a bargain.

Something to watch and people are pointing out some players to look out for. Appreciate that. At the same time, thank our lucky stars the bulk of the middle 90% of college football fans find sponsor bowls involving other teams to be something not worth watching.
When more and more fans quit buying into bowls, the BCS came into being. When more and more fans weren't buying into the meaningless tag "BCS bowl", we got the playoff.
We would have neither and still be stuck in the old bowl system if TV didn't put it's foot down and point out that most fans wanted more actual meaning than the old system was giving.
And at the same time, ESPN can still turn a buck on the endless string of sponsor bowls to satisfy hard core fans who will watch anything.

for the bowl season. It gives us a few more weeks of football to enjoy. P.S. I still think Houston is going to win. SDSU is not going to be able to run up the gut with Ed Oliver there and Houston's D has more speed than they get credit for.

They could win, but I could also see them folding like a cheap suit.
