Bowl games like the Liberty, Gator, Sun & Peach had a certain heir to them. Every game on New Year's Day was huge. They meant something. Now, that is not the case. 1 1 1 Quote

I don't see that anymore. I agree fully, but I feel the same about every sport. My personal theory is sports were the best when I was 11, which gave me great champions around 1977-1978 in all sports.
