re: #163 BeachDem

True that! I love the WaPo rankings of the games. The Myrtle Beach Bowl is ranked 41st (out of 41) with the suggestion—pass.

Back in the day, when the bowl games were between the winners of rival conferences and the Rose Bowl was eagerly anticipated along with the pomp and pageantry of the Rose parade, I would refer to all the other bowl games a “junk” bowls, usually broadcast on non-network TV stations during December. However, since ESPN appeared and there became a need to feed its voracious maw of broadcast time with their resulting commercials, all the games are on prime channels, whether or not they’re of any interest to anyone besides fans of the two schools, became available. And the BCS, of course, totally destroyed the fun of the major bowls.
