I checked the ESPN app and was brutally reminded that it should be us playing in another country at mid-morning on a workday before anyone even realizes it is bowl season as double digit underdogs against the fifth best Conference USA team tomorrow.
What could have been…

For MAC football programs, the light at the end of the tunnel is a burning dumpster of a 5th rate bowl game, filled with still more gasoline-doused dollar bills taken from the students' pockets.
Run to the light, BSU football!!!

11:30 a.m. on a work day. The TV audience may have just barely exceeded the 150 people in the stands. For the life of me I don't understand the business case from the perspective of the schools, the game location, ESPN, advertisers…..you name it.

Of course it was how we totally and completely flamed out against Miami in the fourth quarter which allowed Miami to be eligible for the bowl game today…..😐😬🙄

“Your coaching staff is incompetent” is priceless. Is that a real quote? No, just the message within the “Miami miracle comeback in a game they had no shot at winning” recitation on the broadcast today.

For whatever it's worth, someone posted on the MAC message board Friday:
"Since 2012 the MAC is just 17-41 in bowl games. No one is close to this abysmal record in college football".

Let's do a bit of math here. Approximately $10 million cost over revenue per year for each MAC football program. 10 years. 12 football programs. Total cost to students: $1.2 billion dollars. That comes to $70 million per bowl win. It's facts like this that keep me posting in this football forum. MAC football is so unbelievably stupid and wasteful that it provides a huge, slow-moving and irresistible target for me. And you football supporting morons need to be constantly reminded that your idiotic pastime is brought to you by huge totals of student fees every year.
