The "Who the Hell Cares" Bowl

BC loses the big game, and thus the bowl game has been selected and again we are going to some mid level shit bowl. The Champ Sports Bowl on December 28th at 5 o'clock, too early for me to even rationalize drinking during the game, and on a fucking Friday to boot. But this pain is left only for a small minority of Mass, as the rest of the state could care less. What irritates me to no end, is that BC has held its own over the past seven years, finishing in the top 25 four out of the last six years. BC holds the longest active streak of bowl wins, but for most cases they are pitted against inferior opponents. Lets look at BC's recent bowl history:

2000 Aloha Bowl- Beat Arizona State
2001 Music City Bowl- Beat Georgia
2002- Motor City Bowl- Beat Toledo
2003- S.F Bowl- Beat Colorado State
2004- Continental Tire Bowl- Beat UNC
2005- MPC Computer Bowl- Beat Boise State
2006- Car Care Bowl- Beat Navy

We have won, year after year in these garbage bowls, and you can now add Champ Sports to that list. Woop-dee-friggin-doo. Michigan State? Are you fucking kidding me, we just went toe to toe with a team that was #3 in the BCS and now we get to play a team that couldn't beat Northwestern? ......Sorry I was busy kicking my dog. BC is going to trounce the Spartans, why the hell couldn't they match us up with a team that would you know give us a challenge, not a team that was barely bowl eligible.

But in the end, I can bitch and moan, but its the fans fault we go through this every year. The Eagles travel like shit (jesus look at the ACC Champ game it was 1/4 full), so the bowls will over look us every year until we can prove them wrong. But then again we get picked for bowls that no one will travel to, and thus the cycle continues.

Good Bowls avoid BC because fans don't travel------->BC is selected for mid level bowl that don't interest Eagle fans----------> no one travels because no one cares

Repeat.
