Detroit in late December? Pass

RedHawks got a better draw

(I’m not counting the quality of the stadia, just the environment)
You have to count all of it, no? Easy to say from my couch, but I think I'd rather have this game on Boxing Day than the Cure Bowl two weeks ago. Of course, if you played in the MAC Championship, just coming back to the same stadium for the bowl game would probably feel pretty lame. The Arizona Bowl seems like the best of the bunch, but playing Minny has to be more fun than Wyoming.

Like I said, Minnesota would win in a close fun game.

Florida State’s backup QB is in that portal so they’ll score -20 points in their game vs Georgia.

Virginia Tech fumbles the ball going into the end zone against Tulane, but they didn’t have a camera on the goal line so the call on the field stands. Touchdown.

What's the over/under on tomorrow's Fenway attendance?

If it rains as predicted, the box seats and the bleachers will no doubt be empty.

When is Hampton supposed to be drafted? Such a binky for me but we need so many positions (and he’d be a backup for us but it would be sweet)
Edit: I’m an idiot he’s just a sophomore Inthink

It's not and you can't begrudge any of these guys for sitting these games out - but it's still a drag.
I don't, but at some point you have to wonder if/how much this starts affecting viewership and revenues. There's no reason to watch this without Maye, and anyone claiming the GA/FSU game is the shadow championship game should be laughed out of the room.

Sorry @nolasoxfan
Would have liked to have had y'all at full strength but it is what it is. Wish my Hokies had had a run game like that all year, glad the weather forced Bowen to stick with it.

This is why a 12 team playoff will be good for the sport. If guys have a chance at a Natty, with NIL money, they stick around for those games.

Appears Lincoln’s system was starting the wrong QB. Again.
I know this is a joke but they averaged 42 points per game with Caleb. He also had to go 75 yards down field every possession because Grinch was his team's defensive coordinator. Defense actually tackled tonight.

Looks like drizzle only and it’s relatively warm for the season and a very local team playing.

they’ll be fine, crowd wise, definitely won’t be one of the worst bowls by capacity percentage

Perhaps I was wrong!
Most peope so far undercover

Herzlich delivering color for this one

such hubris and greed to have an outdoor bowl game in Boston in late December

this is kinda cool though

this PBP guy is a little too hyped

Dropsies (because of non-premium gloves according to Herz)
Kick is good though 3-0 Eagles
