    Am I alone in thinking that the playing of the Peach Bowl and the Orange Bowl in daylight hours is sacrilegious?

    Orange Bowl, definitely the best night bowl game. Why would anyone fuck up that tradition?

    They should play bowl games all over the world so ESPN can just play 48 hours of live football straight. I think it would help its new sportsbook.

    I don’t ever recall there being a Saturday Night NFL game the same night as the Orange Bowl.

    I actually didn't have a problem when ESPN would schedule some of the lower tier bowl games as "filler" between Jan. 1 and the BCS Championship a week later, gave those games more eyeballs than they normally would have, gave ESPN a chance to hype the BCS game, gave fans a chance to slowly detox from CFP and not have to go cold turkey so suddenly after gorging on New Years.

    I stand corrected.

    Hearing the gambling experts talk about Michigan and Bama and knocking Michigan for not playing anyone all year, and seeing Ohio State fall to Mizzou makes me wonder if the Big10 has been overvalued all year - even in a year where the SEC is overvalued.
    And yet - nobody brought up that Michigan hasn't played anybody all year until now?

    If you are a team with playoff ambitions which is knocked out of contention the last week of the season, I don’t know how you can get up the motivation to play in a meaningless bowl game a month later.

    Ohio State fans meltdown is glorious. Incredible entitlement. They truly believe the Buckeyes should win just by showing up.

    Where might I partake in this? What’s the Buckeye board of choice?
