It's not the only one with something ridiculous like that. They're desperate to get people interested although they've already announced this is the last year for this bowl.

Who ever thought there would be a Snoop Dogg bowl...

Boise = PEW!!!

 

[BobPSU92]

Final: Washington 38, Boise State 10

Boise led 3-0 early but really bucked it up. A$$. BEATING.

No opt-outs from either team. Great to see. Two teams battling that want to win a game. Used to be commonplace, now is rare. Enjoyed watching it. Wish the culture here at Penn State was similar.

If you’re watching the Cricket Celebration Bowl, it might be time to find a hobby. I hear reading a book is a good option.

I think it’s crazy that a bowl game was played on the same day as the final regular season game of the college football calendar occurred.

Even stranger that a Big Ten team was involved instead of the MAC and Sun Belt.

[Ludd]

Wow, the excitement just jumps out of this thread with all these fine match ups.

 

[Big_O]

Wow, the excitement just jumps out of this thread with all these fine match ups.

Just as I am excited about watching the Penn State bowl game. I won’t be able to watch it live anyway since I will be at my granddaughter’s birthday party. I may or may not watch the recording I set up depending upon if I can find the time. A glorified spring game matchup against another squad doesn’t really excite me.

At least it’s a matchup of two P4 teams. You’re right, it’s not maximum excitement, but it beats what’s been being played.

Crowds aplenty at these blow games.

 

[Grant Green]

Another beautiful first-game-after Christmas bowl. I look forward to it every year but that's because I always bet the under in the first half! An under bettors dream.

 

[WVilleLion23]

I used to watch almost every bowl game because I was so into college football ball. Only ones watched so far have been playoff games. Rest of the way, PSU game and playoff games. I don’t care enough to watch other bowl games these days.

My interest is waning. But its crappy outside (freezing rain). Got nothing much going on today. So im watching while reseasoning my cast iron skillets.

 

[NoBareFeet]

Great Rate Bowl. Minnesota's Anthony Smith made himself a lot of money in that one. Dominant defensive performance. I would draft him just based on the fact that he played and he played hard . Difficult to find these days with all these diva pussies!

UTSA's McCown a good QB. Throws a nice ball.

Great catch for the Minnesota touchdown in overtime, wow, full stretch out.

 

[RochLion]

Great catch for the Minnesota touchdown in overtime, wow, full stretch out.

Saw that, wow! QB was facing pressure and put the pass where it needed to be. Really thought it would be an incompletion.

 

[LionJim]

The qb threw it off his back foot, falling backwards. Quite a sequence. Nice way to win a game.

How come that never works for us?

The campiness of the pop tart bowl embraces what bowl season has become. At least they are having fun with it .

 

[PhillyBillyReprise]

UTSA's McCown a good QB. Throws a nice ball. UTSA	7	7	7	0	21
TEM	3	0	21	3	27

Gave up tickets to whatever the Annapolis bowl game is called since PSU plays at the same time. I really wanted to wear my Pitt is **** shirt too.

I watched it a little bit from 11 till 12. You could’ve got a nice nap in there. Game was boring as heck.
