The Who Cares Bowl
Despite the fact that the Iowa State (my alma mater) Cyclone football team just won the Insight Bowl over the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers and that this was the first bowl game for Iowa State since 2005, any bowl game that invites a team that went 6-6 shouldn’t exist.
There are too many bowl games.
And what is with all the bowl games on or after January 1? January 1 used to be the big bowl game day. Then the national championship game was moved out to give it its own night and increase the number of people who would watch the game on television. I understand that. But there are fourteen bowl games on or after January 1 this year. Including the GMAC Bowl on January 6, after every other bowl except the national championship game. It features traditional football powerhouses Troy and Central Michigan.
Ooooooohhhhh! Aaaaaaahhhhhh! Can’t you just feel the excitement.
Bah! Humbug!
