If a bowl game is played in the woods and nobody watches, does it still give out gift bags?
It gets even worse today, because at 1:00 the 7 5 University of Kentucky Wildcats, in their first bowl game since 1999, take on the 8 4 Clemson Tigers in tonight’s Gaylord Music City Bowl in Nashville, Tennesee. Unlike the 69,000 fans crowding LP Stadium in beautiful downtown Nashvegas, America gets to miss this bowl game entirely.
Even if it is going to be a blowout win for Clemson (who is top 5 in the nation in rushing and pass defense versus a Kentucky team who couldn’t stop their noses from running and depends on the SEC’s most explosive passing attack), it would’ve been nice to at least watch the Wildcats losing in the Music City Bowl again. Now if I want to watch it, I have to sneak down to the lunch room at work, or listen to the radio. What is this, the dark ages?!
I don’t understand why you’d schedule a bowl game, but put it at a time in which most of the country can’t watch it, especially since there’s a gap between the Pioneer PureVision Las Vegas Bowl and the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl, a Christmas gap, and a 3-day gap between the Allstate Sugar Bowl and the International Bowl! It seems so simple to me: one game a day from the 19th of December until the 8th of January, with doubleheaders or tripleheaders (as necessary) on Saturdays if you don’t want to conflict with the NFL’s Sunday hegemony.
On behalf of interested Kentucky fans everywhere: go fuck yourself, Music City Bowl.
