Meaningless Bowl Games

[gohawks50]

So far the "meaningless" bowl games that I have watched have been more entertaining than the first round of the College Football Playoffs. Six overtimes in the Pitt/Toledo game today and the Rutgers/K State game is fun so far. Anyone else agree or are you only interested in the games that could lead to a national championship?

100%

The kids that get to play care a lot and they get to try a bunch of crazy shit

I love a meaningless bowl game. Can't wait for the Pop-Tarts bowl so I can root against the Hurricanes.

Disagree. Haven’t watched bowl games outside of Iowa and playoffs in years. Just don’t care for them.

What about regular season games? Do you only watch the front runners?

RU vs KSU

no defense

41-35 halfway through the third quarter. That's awesome.

I have little interest in the playoff games.

I love the other games/bowls.

I’ll watch intriguing matchups, but I’m not watching a Purdue vs Illinois type game lol.

Go scarlet knights

 

[hawkirugged17]

Kansas State takes the lead 44 - 41 with 4:15 to go.

That would mean you're rooting for Iowa State

Agree with OP, though I would add that it wouldn’t have hurt anything to end the Pitt-Toledo game in a tie. Either call it at the end of Q4, or after the “normal” OT periods. Sort of like when they called the MLB all star game because no one wanted to pitch extra innings.

 

[BioHawk]

They don't bother playing defense which makes them fun. I'm all for these games as long as people just take them for what they are. A fun scrimmage game with teams that have very little in common with the team that played the regular season and some kids that get to have fun playing a game.

I also agree with OP. Very entertaining games tonight. Although I did enjoy the volunteers get embarrassed the other night.

Games ending in ties tho? Hard pass. Idk what the answer is for OT rules but at the end of the day a T next to the outcome is dumb.

Stick to soccer for your precious ties.

I predict in Iowa's meaningless bowl game some defense will be played.

I think of these games as exhibition games of teams that rarely meet where players and fans get to have fun in a unique location. For me the holiday season wouldn't be the same without them.

Figured 5 card dud would be along with his typical dumbshittery. Guess google couldn’t help you on this one, eh Corso?

I’m sure you pump your fist when the NFL has their ties don’t ya?

Do you ever wonder why people here don't like you?

 

[SeaPA]

I guess if you don't like exciting offensive plays you could watch the Bears vs Seahawks

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

Crap I turned off that Pitt game when they went up 10. I thought it was over...

Just funny watching you try to talk football. Old breitbart boy loves himself some ties.

From the guy who never talks football, except after googling old OU rosters. You really need to develop some self-awareness, Nicholas.

CSB, a friend is staying in the team hotel for KSU.

Said it many times. I love the bowls. People who hate them hate college football imo. It's matchups that you don't see any other time of the year. Many times the games are close and the teams get chippy. Toledo rushed the field 3 times yesterday. Tell me it didn't mean anything.

 

[pink shizzle]

NFL, bowls, playoffs, etc. I enjoy all of it.

Most of the teams in the playoffs, I dislike.

I saw on GMA the Pop Tart Bowl trophy has a working toaster in the football.

 

[bhawk24bob]

Every one of these games was on ESPN+ last year, and none of them are this year

Navy sucks

[Menace Sockeyes]

Navy sucks

They immediately started storming back after your comment. A couple TDs now to tie it. Horvath might be the most deceptively fast QB I’ve seen since CJ Beathard. Just went 95 yards for a TD. Longest run in Navy football history!
