You never know what teams/players will show up anymore. Most bowl games are a complete waste of time.
The only other games that I will make a point to watch are the playoff games.
I may put others on as background noise while I am doing something else.

I will watch a good number of them, especially some of the larger bowl games and of course the playoff games.
You have to have 6 wins by now. Getting your 6th win in the Army/Navy game doesn't do anything for bowl eligibility.
Tough betting. Have no idea who is motivated. Like betting NIT. Having said that I’m a diehard and will try to watch as many as possible. Love it.
Correct. That is a price that the service academies pay in exchange for their exclusive window next week.
Time to bring back the Boardwalk Bowl.
Love this. Cats are my second team and what a year! Do you know they should be the highest ranked team in the BIG 12 next year?
I really like watching CFB but unfortunately that's what bowl games have become for me. It's just not the same as the regular season for me. I'll watch the bowls here and there but I don't make a point to watch anything besides the playoffs.
Really a fascinating story, this. A football game played indoors which preceded artificial turf! They rolled in natural turf and kept it alive for a couple of days.Time to bring back the Boardwalk Bowl.
While the Boardwalk Bowl was Division 2, the highlight of Atlantic City football was that the 1964 Liberty Bowl was played there! This was a big f'n deal. There were only eight bowls then. Utah beat West Virginia 28-27. The next year, the bowl relocated to Memphis where it remains to this day.
So what? I'ts "free" college football for 3 weeks! I'll watch parts of some games and the entirety of a whole bunch of them! LOVE IT!!!
I get it....BUT....I can't help myself. I just love it too much to "turn/tune away" due to the current nonsense.Unfortunately, I don't feel the same anymore but love the enthusiasm.
Other than the playoffs and of course the Pinstripe, I will probably not watch any bowl from beginning to end.
And yet, I LOVE the bowls.
I love the fact that during bowl season, whenever I have a free hour and feel like watching some football, I can.

Just another example of our Armed Services getting screwed. One Bowl like either the Military or Armed Forces should be holding that spot for the Army/Navy winner. Especially with teams like Jax St, JMU, and Minn all getting exceptions to be in Bowl games.
They had a really impressive run this season.Love this. Cats are my second team and what a year! Do you know they should be the highest ranked team in the BIG 12 next year?
First of all, if you want an exception you have to ask for it. I doubt that either Army or Navy did. If they had, and it were denied, I think that would have been well publicized.
That aside, this year was a unique situation in that both teams were 5-6. More frequently, you would have only one 5-6 team, if that. If you held a spot for a 5-6 service academy, that means you are stringing some other team along for one week, a week that they can't sell tickets. Hardly seems fair.
But back to this year's unique situation: IF:
* You know what the rule is.
* You request an exception (which in this case, there is no evidence).
* The request is not granted...
THEN: You have NOT been screwed.
Exception does not mean expectation.
PS - Neither JMU nor Jax St got the exception they requested. They got far less. In Minnesota's case, there was no exception. The rule was followed to the letter.
