The bowls are made for TV events. They don't care how many people are in the stands other than to make it look halfway decent on TV.
Congratulations. You’ve entered the Duff zone where I can’t tell if you’re serious or not.
Mission accomplished.
They care, their hope is that a significant number of fans show up to rent hotel rooms, buy meals, and otherwise leave their money behind when they go home. It doesn't take close to a full stadium to make this worthwhile for a host city. I'm certain there is no shortage of available services in Boise in late December.
Some fans bases do much better at this than others. There is a reason a 6-6 Nebraska team is likely to get picked over a 7-5 or even 8-4 team for a bowl. They have tens of thousands of fans who want to be someplace other than Nebraska in the darkest of winter. They travel very well, and profitably for the host cities.
That said it is TV money that makes the whole thing happen and if they only sell 10,000 tickets (and give away another few thousand to make the stadium look occupied) as long as the TV money pays the bills they are happy.
@Jens1893 this was my point, which I obviously didn't express as well.

Seems like correct side. I worry about aTm QB scoring. No bet. Yet.
I read this as Grambling was playing A&M in a bowl game and I was trying to figure out which bowl game that was.
its not just the players... these announcing crews are as bad if not worse.

Seriously ... does the announcer actually think the University of Toledo is in Detroit?

Oops, my bad. I guess he was mentioning that the game is in Detroit. His syntax confused me.Seriously ... does the announcer actually think the University of Toledo is in Detroit?
Narduzzi is a ****ing idiot
Yeah. 4th and goal at 1 to win the game to conclude 2nd OT and he kicks a FG to tie.
Then it goes to 3rd overtime, where you basically have 1 shot at it from the 3 and Toledo gets to match it.
you have one play to win it (or lose it) in the 2nd overtime from the 1 and you elect to get to the 3rd overtime, where you have a worse setup?
WTF? You MUST go for it and he's eternally an IDOT.
The holding was the most blatant hold of all time
So bad. Even worse when the outcome of every other play is decided by a referee.
Get fukt Narduzzi
Ultimately it will make us a better team since the B12 no longer has top tier teams for the most part.
Was hoping KSU would show out better than this though for the perception of the B12. Rutgers isn’t any good.
