Actual Bowl watching 2017 edition

[row_33]

All 6 or 7 games are on my TV somehow for the first two days of action.

 

You'd have to pay me $100 to watch a quarter of any of them, unless company is over and then I will pay keen attention to the game on the screen with MUTE on

 

One game has Oregon against another team that emotionally makes me feel like it could be good, but they are playing on Saturday.

Yeah today's slate is pretty lackluster. 

Boise State vs Oregon might be okay.  Maybe I'll flip between that and the Bears/Lions

Thanks for the schedule!

The receiver at CSU, Gallup, is worth taking a look at. I’ve seen him to the Bills in a few mocks.

The RB from Grambling has drawn comparison to Tarik Cohen. I haven’t seen much of him but heard good things.

[row_33]

thanks Dev/Null

 

yes... Boise St and Oregon, the Blount Sucker Punch Memorial matchup, but they are both mediocre and Boise must be rancid with that conference lollipop schedule

 

i still think he was 10% justified, but do the crime and do the time...

Boise has an intriguing MLB Leighton Vander Esch 6'4" 240, could be a good cover guy for TEs.

“Leighton’s a very good player, got the height, weight, the speed, he’s productive, he’s got great length,” one NFL scout told the Idaho Statesman. “He sounds like he’s a great kid, too. He has all the measurables you want. He’s got a lot of upside, a very good prospect.”

 

The scout said Vander Esch (6-foot-4, 240 pounds), who plays the weakside spot for the Broncos, could play inside or outside at the next level.

 

Tony Pauline from DraftAnalyst.com pegs Vander Esch as a second-rounder, calling him “a special player,” and NFLDraftScout.com has him the No. 14 outside linebacker among draft-eligible prospects."

There are far too many bowl games. And I love watching them, but I miss the prestige that they used to have.

Playoffs are taking over, won't be long before the bowl games are thing of the past.

I'm fine with that.

 

I just wonder how long it will take until the playoffs really start to take over.
