pgj50.bsky.social @pgj50.bsky.social · 02/01/2026Would've been substantially more if ND played in it. Which is why they said no and ESPN threw their hissy fit for their decision, despite them non stop saying they shouldn't be in the playoff. 110
ppne24.bsky.social @ppne24.bsky.social · 02/01/2026That means that 320 million Americans didn’t watch it. 010
bkfromtherock.bsky.social @bkfromtherock.bsky.social · 02/01/2026It was good game between 2 ranked teams that were OK with being there. Not the outcome I wanted but it was an exciting game with fun Pop Tart stuff around it. Go Jackets. 010
Sir John Falstaff (Ret.) from Shakespeare @bbo-falstaff.bsky.social · 03/01/2026Replying to @theathletic.com: A crown for a pastry bowl, while my own kingdom of sack and capon goes unheralded by such sugary sport. 000
Nomad KG @kgnomad.bsky.social · 03/01/2026The only non-playoff bowl game worth watching! I don’t even care which teams are playing. Just a marvelously fun spectacle🤩 . 000
Mike Vachow @mikevachow.bsky.social · 04/01/2026The gimmick jumped the shark this year. Network sandbagged it with a JV broadcast team who stepped all over the comic timing when the game ended early. 040
Another Josh Smith @jcsmith55.bsky.social · 02/01/2026It's the best bowl game because it fully commits to the gimmick 020
