I mostly enjoyed the bowl games yesterday, even stayed awake to watch the Houston Cougars take down the LSU Tigers

SEC 0-2 yesterday

Seems weird that there is just one game today, and it's at 2:00, and it's a rematch of a Sun Belt Conference game from like a month ago

Wow. GA Southern vs Appy State? That's it?

And then Purdue BB is on at 4 PM PT but it's on B1G+ so requires subscription? 

Guess I'm gonna get some work done today.

Weird.  Shitty system.  Whatever.
The gradual normalization of rematches is a PROBLEM.

Yes. This has to be the bowl season's worst. A rematch between Sun Belt conference teams? One who's 5-7? In a decrepit stadium that is empty? On a Monday afternoon in Birmingham? 

On another note, Birmingham AL is the most prominent American city that I've never stepped foot in. Ranked the 44th most populated Metropolitan statistical area with 1.3M. I checked, and have stepped foot in Metro areas from #1 - #43.

Rematches aren't a problem for me

a game between Sun Belt teams, one of which is 5-7 is a problem

Sunbelt and CUSA have no character. 

Neither is all that old, and I'm not sure that either still have any of their original teams.

I perused the B1GBB schedule on the ap on my phone and Washington is IIRC an 11 point favorite while the rest of the teams in the league playing today are all favored by 20+ so there isn't much in the way of good entertainment value there.  Sure, you might enjoy watching YOUR team beat the crap out of some hapless opponent but it isn't appointment viewing and you definitely aren't going to watch some other B1G team beat the crap out of a hapless opponent.

You can probably find it on first row sports, or one of those kind of sites.
