Bowl season starts today. We have so many Bowl Games now, we had only 1 Bowl Eligible Team not slotted for a game this year…and we created a game for them to play Hawaii. My co-host Ryan Brown always says, you’ll never hear him complain about extra CFB on TV. I feel the same way, but here’s the rub. I don’t think I’ll watch either games today, and only UAB vs. BYU tomorrow. 9 Games in two days and I’ll watch one because I like UAB, and even that game is up against UAB’s biggest December Basketball Game at Home vs. West Virginia. I’m one year older today so I can use the BACK IN MY DAY phrase. We’ll pick 1988, the year I graduated from college. There were 17 Bowl Games. We have 41 this year. That meant 8-3 Louisville and 7-4 Arizona and Virginia didn’t go to a Bowl Game. Is that a better system? I don’t know? I do know that the first two Bowl Games that year, Fresno State vs. Western Michigan in the California Bowl and Southern Miss vs. UTEP in the Independence Bowl would not have gotten my eye balls either.
