Never understood why anyone cares. Lower tier bowls are

good for the teams and fans of the schools in them. No one else has to watch or pay any attention. JMO, but we only have our bowl streak because of the high number of lower tier bowls. The games may not have meant much, but the extra practice time and the extension of our football season is fun. It separated us from UVA during a few of our down years so it's been good for us.

Some folks just bow to the altar of tradition. It's sad. -- chuckd4vt 01/28/2017 2:56PM

So you would be fine with VT playing a regular season game on Tue or Wed? -- VTHokie2000 01/30/2017 2:53PM

All the more reason to support the smaller bowls -- Vienna_Hokie 02/06/2017 9:56PM

Bowl season gets ESPN ratings they wouldn't get otherwise... -- BROman Hokie 01/27/2017 2:31PM

Yeah, something like 2M + people watched whatever bowl Ohio U played in. -- reestuart 01/27/2017 2:35PM

I happen to like college football. Better than guys like him talking. ** -- chuckd4vt 01/27/2017 1:56PM

I'm certainly not a fan of all of the games, but they're only a nuisance -- reestuart 01/27/2017 12:59PM

I record them all so I have something to watch during baseball season. ** -- Byting Gobbler 02/03/2017 8:49PM

Welp. No bowls for BYU. That was their bowl. -- HOO86 01/26/2017 11:14AM

I'd bet they end up with a Hawaii Bowl tie in. Or Las Vegas. ** -- reestuart 01/26/2017 12:30PM

Hawaii would make sense since they have a campus on Oahu. ** -- HOO86 01/26/2017 1:41PM

Yeah, I think they've got a tie-in once over the next few years... -- reestuart 01/26/2017 2:08PM

I wish the bowls in crappy locations would do this; SD is a good location -- WestyHokie 01/26/2017 09:49AM

They should put one in the FargoDome -- Victor Tango 01/26/2017 09:19AM

At least the game would be inside...the Wriggly bowl is even dumber -- Vienna_Hokie 01/28/2017 6:19PM
