No . Just do not like stepping around bodies at the airport and many of the streets of El Paso to get to the game.
Sun bowl should be listed as exhibition

I'll be watching. In fact, I'll be scheduling my travel to watch it. I have no clue why you think I wouldn't watch it based on what I said. I'm a Pitt fan and I'll be rooting for them to win. But it will make no difference to me if they lose.
I agree. Now I realize the gaggle of Lsir members calling bowl games meaningless exhibitions prefer to watch ME TV. I love Barney Fife just as much as the next guy, but I prefer to watch a pick up basketball game to something that originally aired in 1964, has a Kardashian or a battle between networks each bashing the other.

Paul Zeise: If the players and coaches don't care about these bowl games, why should we?
So, let me get this straight ... Pitt is going to El Paso next week to play in the Sun Bowl without its starting quarterback, running back, at least two...

So which came first: the "bowl" games became too numerous and trivial that they became meaningless, so players decided to opt out? Or players opted out making the games trivial and meaningless?
They were always meaningless as soon as the championship games started
Once the beauty pageant ended and two teams actually played for a championship , other bowls didn’t matter a lick .
It has nothing to do with opt outs -
Players just figured it out faster than some fans who are still living in the past
There's little to no buzz about this game from the media or the fans in general. From the last I heard, the game is this Friday. Try finding anyone talking about it other than us wackos on this board. That's how irrelevant a "bowl" game is to everyone other than a few hundred die-hards.
I saw it advertised a good bit during NFL games this past weekend on CBS or whichever network is carrying the Sun Bowl.
Yes, I saw CBS advertising it for their own purposes of getting a few viewers. But no buzz locally. Maybe someone will start talking about it locally sometime this week.
