X 4, I guess the 4 of us would be considered old timers or something like that. The big 4 bowl games were played on January 1, the Cotton, Sugar, Rose, and Orange. The lesser bowls were played the week before and included the Bluebonnet, Sun, Liberty, then along came the Peach, Fiesta, Independence, and on and on and on. Now the bowl season lasts two weeks and one full week after New Year's.
I guess we are giving away our age, but dilute anything enough and nothing is special. I'm a huge USC fan, but a six loss Trojan team playing in some nondescript, lame named bowl game does nothing for me. Army - Navy has a long tradition and is worth watching for me, but to see a service academy get demolished by ASU in a "bowl" game doesn't seem right. I have always enjoyed the speculation and debate of one conference playing another in a bowl game to settle the argument of which conference style of play would dominate. For me it was always the old power, three yards and a cloud of dust Big Ten versus the more wide open Pac Ten (twelve) west. I really enjoyed this years Rose Bowl even though today's Stanford is closer to Woody Hayes than Jim Plunkett. I'm not a fan of the Oregon style of football and wasn't surprised to see LSU's fast, old fashioned defense beat them. I am really looking forward to ND versus Alabama, should be a good old fashioned slugfest.
That's all from this old dynasaur.
dyno,
be careful talking about dilution making something "less special". everyone around here is in favor of what will eventually be a 64 team tournament to crown a national football champion.
