Max Mcgee is a legend.  Strangely enjoyable when he was radio analyst for Packers radio.   Also one of the lead owners of Chi-Chis lackluster Mexican chain.   I believe he died after falling off a roof.   He looked like age 50 in that SB.

Ya it'll be like the night before the 1st Super Bowl 34 yr old Max McGee got smashed figuring he wasn't going to play.Then starting WR Boyd Dowler reinjured his shoulder practicing. McGee who stayed up partying with 2 stewardesses he met at the Hotel Bar didn't find out until he came stumbling back to his room at 6:30 AM and Bart Starr passed him going to breakfast told him.McGee caught 4 passes all year but had 2 TD grabs and 138 yds receiving total in one of the best perormances in a Title game.The Pack beat the Chiefs 35-10
I saw this story on some ESPN production (I think it was) and the interview with the guy was hysterical.  He said he saw three balls coming at him so he just caught the middle one, LoL.

One of the NFL films describes him in either that game or SB II as 'the elderly Max McGee.'   Facenda's smoky voice is perfect for the script.

It has changed the whole experience of watching a non-CFP Bowl.  The rest of them are more like pre-season scrimmages for next year's teams or at least can be especially with the new rule allowing redshirts to play. 

Honestly, if I were a coach and my team was in a non-CFP Bowl, I think I'd opt not to play any seniors after the first quarter.  Let them start and play a quarter but then spend the last three quarters seeing what I have for next year and getting my next year guys some live snaps.  That would basically make Bowls into NFL preseason games.
Before the final polls starting being after the bowl games, said games were regarded by many as exhibitions.  Could we be going back to that state of mind?

Nice to see end zone paint jobs at Liberty Bowl sticking to original schemes.

I get the rationale for opting out, I really do.  There’s still some guys who don’t see themselves as a brand or the sport as a business though.  This is WVU’s Senior All American DT Darius Stills after the meaningless Liberty Bowl.
