So they say
Is the root of all evil today (Pink Floyd)nothing that happens in sports really surprises me anymore....but the recent bowl selections caught me off guard.......we know everything is dictated by money but ironically, they may have missed a chance to earn a few more sheckles.....every open bowl slot was filled on Sunday afternoon....most likely so the respective bowls could get busy advertising and selling their game....with the helmets of the 2 schools on the logo.....understood.
the problem is to be selected for a Bowl you need 6 wins..........Army and Navy have 5 wins each and were not eligible........Army and Navy play each other saturday.....someone has to win....why not have one of the bowls select Eastern Michigan or James Madison and say that their opponent will be the WINNER of the Army Navy game.?
It benefits that Army Navy game by adding additional element of consequence.
It benefits the Bowl game because the announcers will talking about that bowl all day to a national TV audience......something the Myrtle Beach Bowl or the Duke's Mayonnaise Bowl could only wish for.
but what do i know about marketing .....besides 2+3=BEEER
