@O.iatlhawksfan

What's going on with your offensive coordinator though? 1 year is all he's getting?

Coach Dufus said he's the HC and he's goin to do what he wants

He's goin to hire the best OC in America like he promised... Steve Ensminger

 

[Trust Me]

If Orlando can't even get a good full lower bowl for a bowl game, what are we expecting from all of these other non New Years 6 bowl games

How are you gonna get on the host city?

The schools get damn near 80% of the total tickets to sell as their allotment. It’s not the host city’s fault that schools have no following.

We'll see who he can get....That might be the decision that changes everything for LSU. I'm sure there are coordinators trying to get down there and take advantage of the athletes they can get though.

Not getting on the city. I'm saying the fans aren't showing up for any of these games really outside of the New Years 6 and playoffs, unless it' happens to be close to home. Orlando is a city on the very edge of being in a tropical climate. If it's hard for them to pull fans its got to be rough in these other bowl game towns....

Naw I get it. And I agree. I didn’t wanna make it sound like i was defending Orlando (fukk this city as a sports town.. bunch of hipster mufukkaz) I just meant that there’s only so much that a city can do to get people to the games.

Camping World was giving tickets away to this game. Literally giving them away.

It’s a perfect 64 degree night, yet nobody wants to come support.

College students don’t wanna spend their break watching their sorry ass teams continue to be sorry against other sorry ass teams...it makes a lot of sense fundamentally. Why this bowl season is so much more deceased than prior ones, who knows. I just know as I’ve gotten older and have seen college athletics from a personal standpoint, I can see where it’s exhausting

I know for me personally, I don’t even get up for non relevant Auburn bowl games. Maybe cause they usually come after us shytting the bed during the entire month of November, but it’s hard to excite someone when you playing Wisconsin or Memphis, as we have. Maybe everybody’s program expectations are higher than they used to be due to the pseudo-parity a playoff system is supposed to deliver

I agree with you. What’s the alternative then? Bowl games will never go away. There’s way too much money at stake. And even tho most of us feel like the playoffs should be expanded even more, what’s that gonna do? Water down the bowl games even more.

I’m not sure there’s a right answer to this.

damn son, gotta make a better throw than that

Really it's playoff or bust for most power conference teams now.... Problem is only a handful have the potential to get there...
