    Sure looks like fun out there, doesn't it? The Fenway Bowl is a completely stupid idea.

    Hokies have a history of starting the wrong QB. Thank goodness! /HendonHookerFanboi

    11 am kickoff? I'm surprised the teams aren't wearing shamrock helmets like they do on marathon day.

    As a Power Five football player, would I not be depressed playing in an atmosphere like this? Like, is that all there is?

    Shit, how about being SMU, which won nine straight games to end the year and won its league, and this is the reward? Oof.

    This is why they joined the ACC.

    When ESPN makes the mistake of showing the actual seats, it's pretty pitiful.

    I'd think if you played for BC it would be pretty neat to play in Fenway.

    Too bad the weather sucked. Even if football isn't big in the NE, and is the No. 2 sport at BC, it probably would have drawn a decent crowd.

    It's such an overlooked bowl there are no AP pics from it

    One of these days Miami is going to turn their top 10 classes and monster NIL payouts into something more than whatever they are now

    Miami’s recovery of an onside kick points out one of the biggest statistical differences between college and NFL games. In FBS this year, 19% of onside kicks have been recovered by the kicking team. In the NFL, the rate is 5.6%. Difference stems from a rules change in the NFL in 2018.
