If they were open to post season ideas I think a big 10-pac 12 challenge would be fun if they can share or find extra venues.
September 24th, 2020 at 7:23 PM ^
LOL, you still have to quarantine for two weeks if you go to the Bahamas. Bowl season will be quite interesting.
September 24th, 2020 at 8:34 PM ^
Maybe today, but the world is changing. Who knows what January or even November will look like...
September 25th, 2020 at 6:52 AM ^
I can pretty much guess it will not be much better, if it's better at all. November is 36 days away. I guess we could have a new President, or maybe we won't.
September 25th, 2020 at 9:29 AM ^
No matter what happens with the election, I guarantee we will not have a new president by November.
September 25th, 2020 at 11:16 AM ^
Not necessarily true either - there are numerous scenarios where a sitting president can change (voluntarily and otherwise). None of which is guaranteed to happen or not.
September 24th, 2020 at 7:26 PM ^
Bowls can begin as early as December 1st.

I'm smoking a bowl right now
September 24th, 2020 at 8:08 PM ^
Maybe you should try some blow.
September 24th, 2020 at 8:34 PM ^
Not a fan
I mean if someone busted out a line and said go ahead I'd probably partake but its definitely not my favorite recreational substance
September 24th, 2020 at 8:39 PM ^
Never will do it again. Pretty sure one of my "buddies" pranked me with Ajax ala C&C. My mom took me to the doctor lol. Elvis obviously had the good stuff though.
September 24th, 2020 at 8:47 PM ^
I love it, but only if I have viagra to take with it. Otherwise it's just a drug that makes you want to fuck while simultaneously making it impossible.
September 25th, 2020 at 11:20 AM ^
I'm Rick James, b*tch
September 24th, 2020 at 7:50 PM ^
Awesome. There's still a chance to see more Peay this year!
September 24th, 2020 at 8:49 PM ^
Wtf. They all look like they're 30 and have had a kid.
September 24th, 2020 at 9:48 PM ^
^^^^ YES^^^
September 24th, 2020 at 10:21 PM ^
You know that that means? They must put out then.
September 25th, 2020 at 8:00 AM ^
Ok but we all know you'd bang them at the drop of a hat.
September 25th, 2020 at 12:53 PM ^
Nah. If I'm going to risk my marriage and half my stuff, it's going to be for a Michigan cheerleader!
September 25th, 2020 at 1:37 PM ^
That doesn't want more kids and is okay with living in my car.
September 24th, 2020 at 8:06 PM ^
Huge news for msu. Way to go, little brother!
September 24th, 2020 at 11:13 PM ^
Skip the season and just do a couple of bowl games. MSU fans will show up for any shit game.
September 25th, 2020 at 1:48 PM ^
And if you need tickets for an MSU game, they can usually be found on Groupon. ?
September 24th, 2020 at 8:07 PM ^
Will each school's athletic department still be required to buy 20,000 tickets if attendance is limited to 10,000? If not, how are the guys in yellow blazers gonna get PAID?!?
September 24th, 2020 at 8:23 PM ^
Rutger should play in the Jell-O Salad Space Jail Bowl.
September 24th, 2020 at 8:29 PM ^
...and you thought the games were comically bad before. I envision some random once-in-a-generation matchups that will set football back decades potentially, but yet, some of us will watch anyway. I know I probably would.
September 24th, 2020 at 8:36 PM ^
A Winless Bowl sounds way more compelling than any 6-6 vs. 7-5 matchup.
September 24th, 2020 at 9:33 PM ^
If anyone knows someone at Lysol, this is their chance to sponsor a Lysol Toilet Bowl for two teams with no wins. It would be the greatest thing ever. Especially if State made it in.
September 24th, 2020 at 8:36 PM ^
Will the small bowls even happen? Can’t imagine the TV money is enough to offset the loss of ticket revenue that the sponsors have to buy. Maybe that money doesn’t have to be refunded.
September 24th, 2020 at 8:37 PM ^
Perhaps this way they can dispense with the pretenses and openly select teams by the most important criteria: TV ratings and ticket sales (well, maybe not ticket sales so much this year).
September 24th, 2020 at 8:39 PM ^
Wow. No imperial pomp, or vetting by 5 heralded sportswriters, 4 conference heads, 3 bowl game poobahs, 2 politicians weighing in, and Chris Partridge in a pear tree.
Just football teams playing each other. For fun. What a concept!
September 24th, 2020 at 8:56 PM ^
Somewhere RichRod is stomping his feet

Rutger vs MSU in the Bahamas
September 25th, 2020 at 8:00 AM ^
I did the raised eyebrow in 2002 when they changed the rules to let 6-6 teams be bowl eligible.
Then it was pure WTF when a 5-7 Nebraska team went bowling in 2015.
But this? Part of me is laughing and a little intrigued but....seriously? I'd love to hear from Bo's early 70's teams, in particular the Dennis Franklin years, where they went 30-2-1 over three seasons and never played in a bowl game while other teams ranked lower than them did. Their reactions to teams now needing no more than a pulse to make a bowl would be kind of epic.
September 25th, 2020 at 11:23 AM ^
I am old enough to remember when most teams with winning records did not make a bowl game. I also think it doesn't matter - bowls began as simply exhibition games to attract tourists to the local traps (the Rose Bowl being the first). More college football is better than less IMO... but I also view the CFP as simply a four team invitational exhibition mini-tournament and not a legitimate CFB playoff.
September 25th, 2020 at 4:13 PM ^
Not sure a bowl can turn a profit it they can't (as they otherwise do) soak schools for the full price of tickets they know won't be used.
