whats the deal
with boise state??
Dear Santa:: All I want for X-mas this year is an official 2009 Jake Peavy Cubs Jersey. Oh and a Beimel one too. I've been a real good guy for the most part!!!

That one surprised me as well
I thought the WAC had a better bowl tie in for their conf. champ. I know the Mtn West as liked the Las Vegas bowl, but the lack of seating has been an issue. I know there was talk about the Conferences having a bowl game between the champions, but need seating and a western setting….and sponsorship.
That said, this match up with TCU and Boise St is one game I really want to see. The other one is LSU and Georgia Tech in the Peach Bowl…(yes dang it…it’s the Peach Bowl.) as I love GT’s offense!
And the Cotton Bowl isn’t on New Year’s Day? …..another tradition gone. New Year’s Day was MY holiday….with great college football games all day long. I’d cook chili and hot wings, and friends would just sit around watching football. Not so much now.
Thought Clint Hurdle should be fired before it was cool.

I'm Glad The Cotton Got Moved!
Now it won’t be a 10am kickoff. We still have 5 games on New Year’s Day. That is plenty of football.

the media, ESPN and Fox have ruined CFB.
There are too many ‘Ma look at me I’m in a bowl’ bowl games. This is just like little league, pee wee football and youth soccer. Everyone gets a trophy, everyone wins and all the rest of the PC Harvard tripe. I wish we had the old traditions still in place and the original big bowl games were played on New Years Day and everything else payed before during Dec. No more CFB games played for a week past New Years Day. The BCSCG on Thursday evening. Screw that. It has gotten ridiculous and childish. This is a rant that I could go on forever with and complain on every subject from the boom in anal-yst, announcer positions to the glut of radio show clowns etc. Right now it is everyone can be an announcer, anal-yst, color commentator, everyone can have a sports show, radio show and on and on. The biggest part of it is most of these media guys are no good, clueless and biased to no end. With 3 weeks of pretty boy training every one of us could have a big time show and blow hard for a couple of hours a week to spew whatever it is we want. And you know what, the public would buy it.
FREE CFB from the media. FREE CFB from the advertising moguls. Give CFB back to us and don’t do it by giving us the everyone wins theory.

I agree with most of these points
When I’m asked about a playoff system for CFB, I think how much I liked the bowl system. I liked having league tie in’s where when you won your league, you went to a certain bowl…like the Orange. The bowl WAS the reward. Sure we rarely got top 10 match-ups unless there was a good team from a lesser conference. And then we would all gripe about who really was the best team. (yeah, I seriously thought that part was fun back then….this week it was grating)
But the lesser bowls I dunno. I think there shouldn’t be as many as there are now, but I’m also a graduate of Colorado St, and going to the New Mexico Bowls seems pretty neat on it’s own. So, I’m a little split on this one

additional bowls added next year ....
The Oklahoma Bowl, held in OKC, 10K show up, no body makes any money except the ad agency’s and of course the network.
The Southwest Missouri Bowl held in Joplin… comments the same as above.
The First Annual Kansas Bow, held in Wichita … more of the same
and it goes on and on and on.
I am glad for Colorado State going to a bowl, they are as good as a lot others going to bigger bowls and they do deserve to have some fun.
But look what’s happened to our society. It is being run by big business, wall street, the media and analysts that don’t know the difference between their anus or their foot. These are the very same people that ship our jobs overseas, shutdown our manufacturing, gave us $4 a gal gasoline, stole our 401K’s, gutted our pensions, brought out the BCS, and they also gave us the best one. Everyone Wins. BS. Are we as a society so moronic that we keep buying this crap?
With 36 bowls that is 728 teams. It should be the top 20 or 25(now you hurt the feelings of #26, and if you take 26 then why not 27 and 28 and so on and so on then all of a sudden you 36 bowls.
I love CFB. I do not like what lawyers, CEO’s, anal-ysts, media and advertising has done to our game.

The Number of Bowls
there is somewhere around 120 D-1 (yeah, yeah) schools in CFB. If half are winners and half are losers, that’s about 60 schools bowl eligible. But throw in wins against D- 1A (yeah, yeah) then you have a few more.
Colorado St. is very happy as they have been way down for a long time, but they had a 6-6 year (got better as the year went along). But bowl deserving? I dunno. I think there should be about 25 bowl games. That gives you 50 schools going to bowls. Some teams that had fair years would be left out, but most conferences would have teams playing, and would reward GOOD years.
Besides the top bowls, I’m not sure anyone’s making money besides ESPN.
Another complaint I have is the names of the Bowls. They are just corporate sponsor’s names. The bowl played in Georgia…it’s the Peach Bowl…the one in El Paso…The Sun Bowl…etc. Need to call it the Chick-Fil Peach Bowl…ok, I’ll compromise…but it’s the Peach Bowl. (I’m getting old and crochity)
