Dang, no way our Bowl will be played in front of only


Dec 23, 2022, 8:39 PM

couple thousand fans, at best!

But, that's what's happened today in 2 bowls I've watched a little.

Yeah, it is sad when only the players family and the grounds crew are there in person!

From the looks of things I'm not sure the families have shown for some of these. Maybe just the grounds crew and water boys. Teams are on notice turn the lights out and lock the gate when you leave.

Too funny, but that's what happens when tix are sky high, and too many bowl games are seemingly unimportant.

I mean with players opting out the bowl system is almost dead

Yep Bowls are antiquated, they won’t be around in 20 years


Dec 23, 2022, 8:47 PM

I see an eventual 24 team PO and no bowls

People keep saying that but tv viewership is still good. These bowls are not for the live people but rather the TV market.

Even wky vs s alabama wasn't too shabby with 1.2M views.

Well 2 days before Christmas is not a great time for a bowl plus it is 48 in Tampa and will be 80 in Miami next week.

I’m 45 min from orange bowl. You won’t see me there. I expect orange to be half full at best.

We’ve tasted blood in going to the CFP and competing for National Titles and winning twice. While its nice to be in the Orange Bowl its no longer as big of a deal if its not CFP. These bowls gotta mean something

UT's coach says they are going to fill the Orange Bowl.

They are rabid fans who have had little to cheer for in years.

Maybe so, but I doubt it. Also, I predict their fans won't like the outcome. Go Tigers!
