Good catch! Maybe the stadium will have a little tool shed on the sideline.

Yes! He put money into it!

Do all players, coaches, and fans in attendance have to be woke?

 

[50+yeartidefan]

Do any excite anyone?
This means u will make an effort to watch...
Non excite me other than playoffs

Arkansas n PennState.....sounds ok..
AU n Houston?.....ummmmm. ...probably not

 

[bamascw]

Am I the only one that thinks the first round of the playoffs should be New Year’s day bowls and not New Year’s eve bowls? Maybe I’m showing my age a little bit but I remember when New Year’s day bowls were they Creme De La Crème!

Yes, they've lost their relevance and are now the "first out" consolation games. This is a nod to the traditional NY games to make sure they don't have to compete with the playoff games for viewers. I actually like having the extra day of prep for the NC game, too, although I'm sure the binder for Michigan is already on the shelf, UGA's has been edited for the SECC game.

 

[50+yeartidefan]

A bunch for several teams saying...."no bowl for me."....
Bowls,..yuck

@bamascw

And ruins new year eve party attendance...but we got early game and will just be late this year...

Yep we thought it was bad because they had watered down the bowl market with 32 bowl games.....now we water down the product playing in said watered down bowl games. Sucks.

True
I’ve already told my wife not to expect to leave before 630. Lol

Not been to a lot of them. But the only one we were late was the 1973 Sugar Bowl. But I not a drinker and wife isn't either.

There are four games on the 29th. The biggest spread right now is 3½. These games include Oregon, Clemson, Oklahoma, both school in Virginia and Iowa State. Three of the four have a 1 point spread.

Well, my lovely wife strikes again. We have four couples coming to our home for NYE weekend. It's not exactly like having to go somewhere else for a watch party, but I don't want to accidentally kick or hit someone while I'm flailing about during the game.

Frailing is common place here. If you can hear it over ms50+. Who thinks team can hear her through tv!!!!!

 

[MunchyOs]

Although there are too many bowls these days, it is more college football to see, so I'll take it. Because, remember, once the season is over, excluding A day, it is a solid 8 months before there is any ball again. So long as the CFP NCG is the season finale. I hate it when they stick a bowl game (especially a low tier bowl game) the night after the national championship game

I'm assuming Kelly will be on the sidelines. I haven't heard either way.

With LSU's QB situation and this possibly being Kelly's debut I'll be watching.
