Top Reasons Bowl Games Suck

January 4, 2009

So I have pretty much watched every single bowl game so far. In fact I even took the effort to go to the Alamo Bowl which will probably go down as one of the best bowl games of this season. The problem I have is the number of bowl games is rediculous. More than half the teams in Division 1 make a bowl game. As of this season, there are only 119 schools that are in the Division 1 FBS league. There are 34 bowl games with 68 schools participating. This does not make sense to me only because I thought bowl games we supposed to mean something. If you make it to a bowl game these days, it just meant that you had above a .500 record. I mean seriously? Is that what this world has come to? Do we really have to deal with this? I want to know how many of these bowl games were sold out because the Alamo Bowl (which is supposed to be a second tier bowl to the actual BCS games) was most definately sold out and I paid 19 dollars for a ticket 34 rows up…not a bad deal eh?

Too bad I was wearing a yellow shirt in a sea of purple. I was given pretty dirty looks the whole time. I just couldnt believe the game was not sold out. Especially since it went into overtime (even though people couldnt possibly know that) it was probably the best game so far in the Bowl series. I thought Utah and Alabama would be a better game but Utah took care of that. The problem I have is now they are asking the question whether or not Utah deserves a share of the national championship. Thats not the worst part though. The worst part is that 65 percent of the United States belives that they should. Come on people, they dont play near the schedule any other team does. Yes, they went undefeated and I congradulate them on that great accomplishment, and maybe they deserve to be in the top 5, but they most certainly do not deserve the number 1 spot. To even be considered is rediculous. The sad part is that the AP poll will more than likely give them a share if Florida loses to Oklahoma. The point is that the Texas Longhorns got screwed out of a national championship. Oklahoma has a chance to redeem that for the Big 12. The problem is that I doubt Oklahoma is going to be able to play with Florida and if they can, then great I am excited for them, but if they cant…the Big 12 loses all respect because Texas Tech just lost to Ole Miss. Good luck to all those still in this thing.
