I wouldn't be so sure.  Have you seen LSU this year? 

Daniels is the offense, without him, who knows what we have.  The defense was the worst I've ever seen, anywhere, including the Lou Tepper years in the 90's. 

At any rate, doesn't matter.  Not long ago I really wanted to win bowl games and it left a bitter taste in my mouth if we didn't.  Now it's just fodder for next year's team.  Win or lose, I'm not expecting to care much. 

But I will watch.

Coach Fickell said Nussmeier is also a very good QB.

This year Texas is playing in its first postseason game that I've cared about since 2009.

Not that Sugar Bowl against Georgia that seemed like was going to be a launching pad for both programs?

We had a couple of opt-outs for that one, really took the wind out of my sails.  Winning it was nice but I didn't really care about it until after the fact.

I used to be right with you.  I didn't even totally mind the opt outs.  Add in the portal opening before the games, and meh.  I can't remember the last time I was in a bowl contest

I'll start paying attention somewhere around NYE.

Find me the coach who says anything but that about backup QBs.  

He had a pretty decent showing in the second half of the SECCG last year when Daniels got hurt, and some pretty underwhelming performances this year, including jack squat against Alabama when Daniels got hurt.  What I'm looking for is how he does with first team reps now, instead of being thrown in with little preparation.

I still get in bowl pick ‘em contests and usually put a buck or two on bowl games to keep them interesting.

I’m off until after NYD and just chill around the house so I’m still all in on bowl games.

I’m the guy who will tell you there are too many bowl games but also the guy who has a bowl game on tv every time there is one being played.

I get that I’m part of the problem I complain about.

Our family did a bowl contest from 1980 until about five years ago.     I watch so few bowls now, and honestly could not correctly identify a non-CFP matchup outside of two games right now.    

Portal w/o sitting a year is the most disruptive event to college sports in my adulthood.   I'm not making a judgment on the practice from the perspective of a player, but it has completely hijacked college sports.   We're watching Merc squads.

I'm surprised many bowls aren't off the betting lines.  Do they still do that?  
Like half of Miami's defense is sitting out.  
OU will have their backup QB and half their OL starting in the bowl. 

How in the holy hell are you supposed to prognosticate  that?!?

When I saw Syracuse had their TE taking some snaps at QB I knew it might be a long night for the Orange.
