why are so many bowl games played during the week

Calling for less football. Man, you're asking for a rainbow.

I'm calling for better football. I've watched almost every bowl game thus far and for the most part they have been shit. Just sayin.

Two words: NFL. Sunday.

Combine that with @WizardHawk said and there ya go


Also keep in mind a lot of people take off the week between Christmas and New Year's.

yeah i know thats true, we dont get off in my job, this is the hardest time of year to get time off

There's your answer. December is a sports desert and ESPN gets way better ratings for live events than some old tired 30 for 30 rerun. Same reason ESPN bought up the 15 shitty bowls. They were big enough dogs that it was cheaper to buy them and run them at a break-even than it was to pay for the tv rights. Now they pay the tv rights to themselves...and they 3+ hours of live tv.

Since every day is during the week...

You are just hungover and grumpy.

It's a really shitty product to watch empty stadium exhibition games between a bunch of 6-6 and 7-5 teams.

Then don't watch, but under no circumstance do you bitch about it.

Yawn. You hooplans sure are feisty bunch. It's a statement of opinion.

 

[poewelch84]

Because most of the bowl games don't really matter

And one that comes across as crybaby bitching. Trying to help you better yourself, but you can't help someone if they're not willing to help themselves.

Guffaw. You derived a big narrative there for one sentence I wrote.

I guess to the dimwitted that bitch about bowl game they're not in any way forced to watch, two sentences is considered a long narrative.

For you, yes, yet it is. Couple more sentences and you'll narrate your first paragraph. But here you are, bitching about me "bitching". God love you brother, you can't get out of your own way.

Trying to be helpful here, no need to get all defensive.

Oh my bad dawg, thanks so much. You're a gentleman and scholar.

I like the Bowl Game (or two) a day concept starting on 12/15. Leads to a smooth transition to the bigger Bowl Games IMO. I also enjoy watching the Bowls with GOOD G5 teams (like the Camellia Bowl and New Orleans Bowl) playing each other much more than two mediocre 6-6 P5 teams playing each other. Either way, I watch as many as I can!

You sure have been bitching about our posters lately.

I've read enough of the rivals stuff, and saw a few threads on that board, to know it isn't a bunch of saints that came over here. Thank God for that, but don't act all high and mighty. You had posters coming over here day 1 saying fuck you to people who were just pointing out how things work here, had one that managed to be tossed out of the PF which really does take some talent, and have had most of your posters sticking just to your own threads.

Bitch more about us. I'm sure it will work out well for you.
