Bowl season starts tomorrow, so get ready for midday football between teams you may know nothing about.  Who's ready!

Myrtle Beach Bowl
Dec. 21st, 2:30, ESPN
Appy State v. North Texas

It's too bad that attendance is probably out of the question. Who wouldn't want to go to Myrtle Beach, get buzzed on the beach, then watch a football game?  Buzzed is how you should watch this game, because it may be the biggest mismatch of the season.  F+ isn't updates but based on Week 15 stats Appy State checks in at 27 and North Texas at a glistening 117.  Appy State lost competitive games to Marshall, Louisiana, and Coastal Carolina, who are all good.  North Texas finished 4-5 in Conference USA and lost to SMU by 30 and Charlotte by 28.  Don't set your alarms, is what I'm saying.

I conquered Myrtle Beach a few times. 

3-7 Mississippi State going to the Armed Forces Bowl. 9 win Army misses a bowl.

That makes no sense.  Did Army opt out?
Did the bowl reserved for Army (when bowl-eligible) get canceled?

Never mind.  I see that the Independence Bowl must have gotten canceled.

I've never heard of Duke's Mayo, so I looked it up. I guess it's a thing down here. I'll buy some on my next shopping trip.

I'm surprised so many teams are opting out of the bowl games. I get that this year is the worst ever, but I would think the kids would want to play and that the coaches would want the extra practice.

Many teams have been at least somewhat bubbled since the season began.  They've not been allowed to visit family or friends, even over Thanksgiving.  A lot of them are ready for that to end, and get back to some normal life.  Especially with the Christmas holidays at hand.

They are probably safer in the bubble??

Don't think they're particularly worried about safety, and just want to see family and friends. 

Emotionally no

I don't know. I'm sure they would like to see family, but I'd argue that they are better off with their team than we are, from an emotional standpoint.

This will be the first time ever that we will not be seeing any family or friends for Christmas.

I'm making Alton Brown's turkey. A small turkey.
