You're moving the goalposts. Are they meaningless or mean less than games earlier in the season? There's a distinction here which you've obviously realized, but don't want to admit.
Nope…Ohio State-Michigan week…I’m betting you never knew any players 1 thru 85 on either team…any year…
You’re too funny, I didn’t change the goal post even a little. You made the illogical comment that these last bowl games of the season mean as much as any other game during the season and I just called you out for the stupid comment and gave you the practical reason why. And then you moved the goalposts with your comeback.
Now you're just flat out lying and full of sh!t. That, or you have the reading comprehension of my shoe. Maybe you should read again, slower.
Then don’t watch. Don’t go. Don’t waste your time posting about it. No one is making you watch. I bet Gone With the Wind will be playing that day so you can watch people who have been dead for ages play parts where you know how everything turns out. Hell, the dialogue hasn’t changed either.
Not true. Players are opting out because they have decided that their personal interests (eg prepping for the draft, avoiding injury, etc) outweighs the benefits to them of playing in the game. The players who are going to participate will play hard and will try to win. Once these guys step on the field, the game is meaningful even if you don't think so.
‘9-4 greater than 8-5, so it matters. Otherwise, no game the entire season matters. Why follow college football at all?’
The game counts towards your record, it's not meaningless. Every game that counts towards your record matters. Games carry different importance. OOC matter less than conference. Certain conference games matter more than others. UNC loss cost them the Coastal.
Sun bowl will be closer to $3m people. Central Mich vs. Wash St had 2.85m.
So now you’re moving from no game the entire season matters if the last game doesn’t matter to finally admitting the games have varying levels of importance. And you were trying to say I was moving the goalposts. Mine have been consistent, your goalposts all over the map.
LOL, are you two years old? No need to rehash, it's all in the thread chief.
Gambling is the force in all major sports that drives the bus. Great post, spot on! H2P!
Hell, people gamble on NFL preseason games, so players opting out in bowl games aren't going to deter that.
So only the games of maybe 6-7 teams matter every year and 95% of all games might as well be cancelled.
What is the problem?
Again with the "record" nonsense. In 2 years, the number of people who will care whether Pitt won 8 or 9 games will number in the double digits. The rest of the world doesn't care.
lol, good question. i dont see the travesty here. people sitting at home, off from work, with nothing else to do from Dec 26th to Jan 2nd so they watch college football. oh no..
Really? There are only 6-7 divisions in college and only 1 school has the chance to those divisions? Somebody missed at least 1 point.
The people against playoff expansion argue that even if you let AQ conference champs in from lesser leagues it's a waste because "they can never win anyways" so yeah, they are saying only a tiny number should ever be considered.
Thanks Pierre. I really appreciate that. I am. But going stir crazy sitting at home right now.
i meant that is the rumor, meaning if they even get drafted.
Even the NY6 games are exhibitions. The only games that matter are the 2 semi-finals and the final game.
The best analogy yet is to the pro bowl. Yeah these bowl games are teetering on becoming flag football pro bowl fiascos
That's not what I said. But it doesn't matter when you're mind is such that it will interpret things to fit a narrative.
My narrative is I'll watch the Sun Bowl.
