Remember when...

[Inquisitor95]

Playing in a New Year's Day bowl game was a big deal?

 

[TheReal_NU]

Yep

 

[kburjr]

Yep

...and the Rose Bowl was the most watched bowl game. Watching the Orange and Sugar bowls were the only way you got to see SEC teams in the Upper Midwest

 

[podsox]

Yep and it’s way better this way imo

Playing in a New Year's Day bowl game was a big deal?

no.

And my wife always wanted to watch the Orange bowl, just for the half-time show, which was cool before it became the norm.

I feel like teams and players also know this which is why the games have the intensity of a preseason game.

Should offer $10,000 per player to the winning team on NYD to.... Make it interesting again.

Where is the NCAA supposed to come up with that kind of cash?????

 

[HuskerinBig10]

I cannot remember my team playing in a bowl...… Let alone a New Year's Day Bowl.

Then, I can't remember the name of the bowl because they all have sponsors now, and the name changes every five years or whatever.

(BTW, I know it was 2016)

My favorite silly bowl name was this:

 

[LoftonPack80]

And there were bowl games all day and night. What did we have yesterday....4 games?

 

[Inquisitor95]

And when did we have to wait 2 weeks from the first playoff games to the championship.

Do they think they're the Super Bowl or something?

Better yet make the gift suite run through after the game.

Winner goes through the best buy gift suite valued at $500
Losser gets the new era hat. $29.99
