But overall, bowl games are dying, and I think the reason is that they aren't special anymore. Everyone gets a bowl.
Yep. There needs to be less bowl games, and it would help if there was a true bowl game pecking order, where you get 5 vs 6, 7 vs 8, 9 vs 10, etc.. Regardless of conference, as long as they aren't in the same conference, or something like that. I hate auto bowl tie-ins for conferences. Give us teams that are thought of as on the same level from different conferences, and let's find out who's better. And for God's sake, no 5 win teams in bowl games...there are way too many bowls.

Again, there are too many bowls, and Alabama hosting 3 of them is profoundly ridiculous.

Make all the bowls part of the playoff bracket. Eliminate 3 OOC games. Why should March Madness have all the fun? Bet more fans showed up if their team still had a chance to win the NC.

Oh great, we get a hyped up VT team trying to send Beamer out a winner versus our uninspired team which ALWAYS plays the bowl like they don't care after losing to OM.

Beamer's last game and Dak's last game. Don't know why anyone wouldn't think that's special enough to make the trek.

That Va Tech team had to use all their heart to pull out a squeaker vs Virginia to become bowl eligible for Beamer...in other words, regardless of heart, they aren't very good. I wouldn't put much stock into Beamer's last game stuff is all I'm saying.

This has been beamer's last season all year and all the team could manage was a 6-6 record. They aren't gonna all-the-sudden flip a switch and be the Michael Vick hokies

The Belk is going to be sold out/packed with VT fans...
I remember Bear Bryant's last game with Bama was a Liberty Bowl, and I swear I've never seen a team hit the other team's players so hard as Bama that day.
VT will be the same way, playing for Beamer's last game. Still, they're not very good and they've barely won several games (and barely lost a few) to some even worse teams. They did play UNC close at the end of the season.
I'd be a little afraid of playing VT in Beamer's last game, but on the plus side, the minor bowl will get more pub and more viewers because of it. And I think we can beat them even with emotion on their side.
