They have colored sprinkles on the white boundary like it's a frosted pop tart.They get some of the best matchups too, and the games are always entertaining. This year it's BYU and Georgia Tech.I just saw a defender punch out a ball with his heel while he was face planting.There have been 3 turnovers in the red zone.It's fun entertainment that I think epitomizes what makes bowl games special. I know they are becoming the NIT tournament of football, but that doesn't mean it has to be boring if the teams are competitive and the pomp is fun.

19 hours ago19 hr Moderator No. That was bad football. Both teams made stupid mistakes over and over. The final possession by GT was the textbook definition of point shaving. It goes to show that anything other than making the final 12 is just an exhibition.

It was fun to watch.

It was fun to watch.The B12 showed up today. BYU won a physical game. Houston leads LSU by 3 points with 6 or so minutes left. The conference may be better than given credit for and perhaps, Texas Tech didn't defeat a bunch of bad B12 teams. The ACC's UVA stifled the MIzzou O and won 13-7. Watching this game was almost as bad as watching Sex in the City reruns. The ACC, B1G, B12, and the SEC all had six teams that did not win six or more games. It's going to be interesting to see how the remaining bowls and PO quarter finals play out.

If it was a meaningful game with all starters playing I think they would’ve won by 3 scores.

Which makes Notre Dame utterly wrong for skipping it.
