I agree and as you stated at the beginning, I didn’t mean those teams specifically.
The Pac 12, Mountain West, Big 12 and most of the B1G would draw well in Denver, IMO, and then of course the marquee programs of ACC and SEC.

Say hello to Jimmy Kamel for me!
That was an outstanding game to watch.
Both of those coaches should be looking at opportunities to make a lot more money soon.
And NIU coming from being terrible to this level this quickly shows how baseless all the excuses about being too young or not having a talent base, etc. etc. are.
A shame that one of those teams had to lose.

WTF?
I googled him to see which tv guy he is. Now I can keep an eye out for him.
Interesting observation. Outside of Chicago, I don't run into a lot of midwest transplants. California, New York, New Jersey, yes. Midwest, no.
Yeah, but I don't think the target market for a local bowl game is Coloradans, I think it's the fans of the schools in the game. And the further away the schools are from Colorado and the more flat and boring their home locales are, the better. Something like a TCU/Missouri or an Illinois/K-State type of thing. Put the game in Folsom, draw 'em in with topography, hiking, legal reefer, and have a semi-autonomous organizational committee running things with as little involvement by CU as possible. Sell that Boulder sizzle. I seriously believe it could work.
You live in one of the most expensive areas of Colorado, so your observation makes sense. I assume you don’t frequent the city and close surrounding areas very often?

Consider where you live.
Lots of midwest transplants in the burbs. Not so much in places like Boulder.
At the risk of stereotyping a lot of midwesterners have more of a blue collar mentality, even the ones who work in white collar fields.
He’s the mascot of the game!
Have you guys noticed that for years we've been watching CU pass offenses that look more like the NFL - tight windows to complete passes and a lot of plays where there is no one open?
But then when I'm watching other college games, I'm reminded that college football isn't like that. It's typical to see defensive breakdowns, mismatches and easy completion opportunities.
Oh well. Can't dwell on that. I'm just gonna watch some competent, entertaining football for a change and enjoy this bowl season.

You smokin’ the good stuff, eh?
And because of a lack of QBs who have the skills to make the reads and fit the passes on time into those tight windows the NFL is moving more towards college concepts with mobile QBs forcing defenders to make a choice.
And yet CU without a QB who has the required skills and without the time needed to implement these offenses insist on trying to force this offense, and clearly failing.
Had a gummy for breakfast. I'm very chill and philosophical right now.
Yep. I think the closest we've had to an NFL type QB the past 20 years was Lobato. A walk-on we forced out of the program by moving him to safety.
Our 1 really good season was mostly about our QB running off-tackle powers & hitting the occasional deep ball.

We are Vanderbilt, minus the 10.9 Billion Dollar endowment. And minus Jay Cutler.
Thank heavens for these throw away bowl games.
Still sitting here in a hospital bed, should get out tomorrow depending on what the lab says (they are trying to figure out exactly which bacteria are responsible for my infection so they can get me the right mix of antibiotics)
If not for these games to distract me I would be going nuts.
Seems though like some of these teams have left their defenses at home. Defenses aren't stopping anyone, winning team is the one that can jump on a fumble or interception or two. Not seeing many punts.

You see a lot of Pro Bowl level effort defenses in a lot of these bowls. Good luck with your healing.
Actually feel almost guilty being here. The swelling in my leg is almost gone (it was huge) and they have a wound pump on the surgery site.
I have no pain, just boredom. The only reason I am here is because they have me on antibiotics that can only be administered through the IV.
Hoping to go home tomorrow. We have already figured out that we will make a cardboard protector for my leg because the dog is going to go nuts when she sees me.
I get out frequently. I was in Lafayette just two weeks ago!
Get well soon Mtn.....
Next Stop: Nederland! Nepalese buffet line at Katmandu !!
Nice win for UAB
LOL, I had to google this to find that Kimmel and Damon have some sort of feud
