This is the first time I am not very interested in a PITT bowl and outcome. Maybe the pollsters will look at our younger guys who play and determine if we are a top 25 team next year? I am trying to find a silver lining to this. It's a shame because if all the players were playing (for both teams), this would be a classic bowl. The NIL, transfer portal, border issue (in the Sun Bowls case), and players leaving early for the NFL has made bowl season a shell of what it used to be.
