[QUOTE="MusicalBuzz, post: 988620, member: 5555"] Well I know you’re repeating the points you’ve made previously on my account so I’m sorry for having prompted you to do that. But may i just say, and very respectfully: perhaps it’s your own mindset that is the problem? And, secondly, you’re making a lot of assertions either as a generality or without much substance to back it up. For instance, “They are now TV first events” and so on. I don’t know what this even means — yes, the games are on TV; yes, they are broadcast for the benefit of viewers that may be interested. So. What? Then you’re wanting to assert that a value of the bowl game is to make a TV appearance. But because there are so many in-season TV games “national TV is not the incentive that it used to be”. Well, what student athlete said it ever was? Also, who cares? Nice to cherry-pick a 12/26 single bowl game in Detroit. Well, how about this: the family decides to spend some time on a vacation. Or get together later or make it work. This is really henpecking as a example. Of that in 1990 only a handful of games prior Jan 1; well, sure, again there were much fewer games and — principally— there was no CFP that was going to drag out the season a week longer. Also: I definitely recall folks — that is, “fans” (and schools) complaining about the monthlong layoff from last game of season to the bowl game. So, again.. who cares if there are games in mid-December. I could go on about your other points but this reply is long enough. The bottom line here: in 1990 this GT team would not have had a bowl game. This year in this system they did — and it was fantastic and enjoyed by all who wanted to enjoy it … the kids and fans alike. ESPN could not dampen that spirit. And that is what the bowl games are about .. if one chooses that perspective. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
