    Last bowl game I have been to for this reason and most of the bowls being meaningless except for reward for the team, $ for school and extra practice for the young players. Twelve team playoff will bring more interest and I hope we can make it in my now more limited lifetime. Am in the 4th quarter, but hoping for some OT! Hail State!

    I'm not convinced that extra practice means much. They've been practicing since spring and all during the season. What's a few more days?

    Coaches totally disagree. During the season the two deep gets most of the work but bowl practice is like an extra spring that allows redshirts and younger players time to practice since will likely be counted on more next year. Bowl game practices are probably more important for programs like ours than programs that get nothing but blue chips. We have to develop players and that requires as much practice as possible.
    Death penalty or bust!!!***

    Helps in more ways than one. Keeps players off the street, gets players ready for next year, builds better team chemistry for next year and helps players in conditioning. Playing sports now days is an all-year thing now days.
