It's interest how some can't see a major flaw and wrap their head around a simple solution of spreading these games over multiple nights. Everybody wins.

It makes no damn sense to play these things on top of each other and cheating the fans by making them choose.

How do you cope every Saturday of the regular season?

At least Nebraska isn't playing their bowl game inside a dome.

Not the same thing and I don't have the energy or time to try and explain it to you.

I suppose you're right.. Alabama and Auburn's bowls this year are far less important than a regular season week.

It'll probably be the 3rd p12 win over a ranked OOC opponent in this bowl season alone.

I'm not sure if you understand how this works.

Washington has already beaten current #19 Boise 38-7...expecting Boise to stay in the top 25 might be a stretch. You are not favored in either of the other games....but anything can happen. If by miracle of miracles you guys complete the hat trick it will run your record to 4-19 in the last 3 years...so you might could understand my healthy skepticism of your ability to do that.

Neither USC nor Oregon are sizable underdogs.

That hasn't stopped you in the past...as I said, 1-19 going into bowl season for 2017-2019, I doubt you were the underdog in 19 of those games.

I believe I already stated noon and 2:30 Eastern...but I'm used to typing slow and repeating myself for Pac-12 fans, so here you go.

230 bumps into the Rose Bowl. Not gonna happen.

Better would be to just start one of the games at 11.

The problem is YOU starting everything off in the OP as this being an 'Alabama/Auburn' thing. That distracted everything.

If you'd have just left it to the Citrus (ABC) and Outback (ESPN) Bowls as entities, you'd have had less push back.

These bowls have pecking order rules and place, date, and starting time are scheduled BEFORE the season even begins. Nobody knew who the SEC reps were going to be before the season started.

The fuck up in not being able to better spread 4 games in one day out had NOTHING to do with 'Alabama/Auburn'. ZERO. But that's where you went.


They scheduled Auburn and Alabama's bowl game at the same time on the same day. They were quaranteed the entire population of the state twice in their ratings and said no half is fine.

Ya you cornhumpin muh fukka .. try to comeback on that one.

Ohhh....Attack the messenger's crappy team. That's always a lame distraction when one has nothing left to counter. Straight out of a 14 y/o's playbook. LOL

Both the Citrus (ABC) and Outback (ESPN) are starting at 12:00 pm (ET).

They could have started the Outback (ESPN) at 11:00 am (ET) and the Citrus (ABC) at 2:00 pm (ET). If the Citrus (ABC) ran more than 3 hrs it wouldn't have conflicted with the Rose (ESPN) at 5 pm (ET).

That's not a problem...it's a beautiful design to net the most bounty.
