The bowl games are fun to watch. The majority of teams, players and coaches care about them. To say otherwise is stupid and is based off the small percentage of players that sit out for the draft. But the vast majority of players play in the game as one more chance to show their skills. Just like the senior bowl or other senior games for bubble draft kids.

But I do like that we are finally getting a bigger playoff.

I do agree it should be only 6-6 teams or better. But understand sometimes a 5-7 makes it because there aren't enough 6-6 teams.

The games belong in December as a bonus for performing well. Not a random non con game in September. Fans don't go to some of them because of the costs. Reduce the costs or make them more local and not a big 12 team playing California, New York, or other destination not close to the school.

2017 was a terrible year, no question, but Rhule also gave us a good 2018 & a great 2019. And players he recruited gave us the best season of our history: 2021.
Rhule was a snake oil salesman. None of you guys or his wife will ever convince me otherwise. He took Grobe's bowl winning team and took a dive. 1-11. After being mediocre the following season, he looked like a genius.

Little Tyke basketball goals. Equestrian sex parties. Weekly pop quizzes. It is the hypocrisy that pissed me off the most. Liberty was the last game my wife and I attended. We have never looked back. With NIL and the transfer portal, I expect McLane Stadium to soon be one huge revival arena where our "leadership" can cry out to God and grovel for collection plate donations. Serious Baylor football fans will be a rarity. Except for high school playoff football fans.


Yup rhule was a fake. Took a dive to look better. Had the same things going on that Briles did.

And now we have a loss to another Liberty type team in Texas Stare only it is not in year one and people still think this coach is the answer.

There are 31 aggy players not playing in tonight's bowl game.

It's definitely not the same anymore.

True. But add up all the players on all the bowl teams. Then do the math for the players sitting out and it is still a small percentage.

Not every team has that many sitting out. Most just have a few and teams have about 85 players times the 38 (or whatever it is now) bowl games.

I wonder if the radio communication in the helmet will be used by all schools since so many use signs to give the plays to all players and the radio only goes to the QB who then has to call it out. Slows down those fast pace teams imo.

It wasn't only the QB in yesterday's game. The announcers were talking about a few players having it. I suspect it was strategic and limited. It might take some time for them to get used to it.

Welcome to the ACC, SMU. Loses 23-14 to 6-6 BC in the rain.

SMU finishes 11-3 on the season, but went 0-3 against P5 opponents.

Good thing Baylor didn't make it there. They had enough trouble with LITTLE tarts.

Clever but Gen Grievous was a villain in Star Wars. I'm not sure the Big 12 wants that comparison!

The only time I care about one of these bowl games or invitational games is if Baylor is in it.
