I’ve watched way too many bowl games this year, so I’ll share my perspective as a football fan watching a game between two teams with whom I have no connection.
1. For the most part, I have no idea who’s skipping the game and I don’t necessarily care, though missing the starting QB carries much more weight than any other position. (I’m speaking to bowl games in general, not ours)
2. You say the games are meaningless, and I don’t disagree as it relates to each individual team, but…see #3.
3. The games are not meaningless as they relate to conference affiliation. The AAC being 6-1 makes a statement, as does the ACC being 1-9. I also think it says something that the mighty SEC is only 4-3 so far. If they are the dominant conference they are made out to be, they should be winning at least 75% of their bowl games, and they certainly shouldn’t be losing to G-5’s.
4. At the end of the day, nobody except UNT and TXSt fans are going to remember who won or by how much, or who had more players in the portal. They’ll just remember if it was a good game. I don’t think any more or less of any team I watched this bowl season, but I can tell you which games were good.
I think this is most of the die hard's feelings. I always want us to win, but it doesn't move the needle if we do and can only hurt us if we don't.
I do love just going to games, without the game itself.
