You know who you are. The idiot in the bowl logo sports jacket talking about the fine tradition of the Liberty Bowl or Independence Bowl etc. etc. etc. Who talks about how fun the team bar-bq eating competition is and all that completely insane bullshit that you sling to sell your inconsequential exhibition game. Yeah, you.

People are not attending your stupid exhibition games like they used to (some tickets for the Music City Bowl were on StubHub for .19. That’s nineteen cents. You almost had to pay people to go). And they are not watching your stupid exhibition games on the tube like they used to. And that is only going to get worse at this point, as bowls have so expanded to the point where the notion that it is anything anyone should particularly care about is absurd. And the whole no-playoff thing, which tends to make your average sports zealot resentful of your stupid exhibition games. So, hey, a thought. Get together, and start lobbying for legalized sports betting in all 50 states. Because, at this point, the chance to bet on your stupid exhibition games is about the only thing getting anyone to tune in. So, if I were you, I would be trying to widen that particular net…

And while we’re here, it’s kind of expensive for a bunch of the participants as well. The whole system is stupid.
