Eh.  I didn't care about meaningless exhibition games 30 years ago and I don't care about them now.

I'll still watch them though if I'm not busy with something important, what else is on that's better?

Which is precisely why they keep adding more.  Why wouldn't they?
they aren't exhibition games - assuming we're talking about bowls. they count as part of a teams record for the season & to that end are meaningful. whether someone cares about any particular game is in the eye of that beholder obviously but they are not exhibitions.

of course they are also shams in 2025 with the portal & opt outs.

When they SEC does poorly, they are just meaningless exhibition games.  If they do well, then and only then are they important and significant.  Try and keep up.

Zero, they did almost beat UGA, that is their best "win".  They had no defense of note.

Eh. Maybe so. Don't really care though.

They're testing us. They're trying to see how far sports fans will go. If we want it to stop, the only thing we can do is not reward them by paying for it.

I'm not signing up for Peacock just to watch Purdue.
Yup last nite 2 great contests on BSPN,didn't see them,tonite Buckeyes Game also unless I go to the Pub or a Buddy's I'll be missing that. One would think though the Advertisors are loosing dollars from the masses on network

Iowa doing a heck of a job shutting down Pavia and the 'Dores offense. 

And Vandy currently at -4 rushing yards midway through the 2nd...

Vandy clearly doesn't want to be there.  CFP snub and all.

The Vandy punter certainly would like that one back! 

Never seen that before...

What happened?

In any case, Hawkeyes now up 21-3 wait, 28-3, wait 21-3.  The ESPN site momentarily said 28-3.  I'm not sure if they added the TD twice by mistake or what.

The play-by-play for what I think you are referring to says 53 yard punt, no return, penalty for intentional grounding.  Huh?

Ol Muleshoe needs a D-coordinator to teach tackling

It's worse than a lack of tackling fundamentals. Muleshoes is lacking defensive players that give a sh*t.

In the below replay #9 #10 and #23 don't even try.

With that said, Muleshoes is now 16-10 and 11-7 in conference as a Big Ten coach. That's about what I expected, though maybe a little worse, from USC and Lincoln Riley two years into the Big Ten. Unable to compete with Oregon or Ohio State for the top, and trafficking more into a consolation tier with the likes of Minnesota and Nebraska.
