Another gripe about bowls - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

Nearly every game the discussion surrounds whether or not a team is disappointed to be in that bowl or whether or not they'll be motivated to prepare and play hard.

Should this EVER be a problem in the postseason?

Nobody cares about the bowls. Get rid of them.

The only schools that care about them are the one's that have never had success like Rutgers. Or those that have been on a long drought like BYU or Notre Dame.

I still think that the bowl system serves some purpose, as long as it serves as a sort of NIt device for a playoff system.

You guys are no fun.

The bowl games have been excellent this year!

While it is true that I am no fun, I cannot agree that the bowl game have been good this year. There have been a ton of blowouts and mismatches.

I am excited to see your boys go up against Boise though. That will be an interesting matchup. In that sense, I guess that I am fun.

Maybe I watched different games?

Every game since Thursday has been either come-from-behind or otherwise down-to-the-wire.

Combine that with several highly amusing coaching breakdowns; and with getting to watch the Ducks tarred-and-feathered... I consider it a first-rate bowl season!

Although I do hate to watch USC run away with a win.
