If you pay attention to ‘Cool Twitter’ you’d know that ‘Cool Twitter’ is anti-college bowl games like the Dollar General Bowl featuring Ohio vs. Troy. ‘Cool Twitter’ thinks too many bowl games equals over-saturation and too many worthless games.
2.5 million people watched that bowl.
That’s why ‘Cool Twitter’ will never run a business. They don’t understand how to make money on a Friday night like ESPN, which won December 23 with the MAC vs. Sun Belt. That worthless CFB game beat FROZEN and any other Christmas show cable TV could throw at that Dollar General game. Even the Armed Forces Bowl snuck into the Top 8.
Need another example of college football fans being freaks? Take December 22 when Idaho and Colorado State tangled in the Idaho Bowl on ESPN. That worthless game beat the Lakers-Heat on TNT.
Think ESPN's bowl strategy is a lot more about maintaining/growing the $7.21/mo/ESPN household than advertising revenue. https://t.co/ZnNcMtf8sU

Sit back, quit worrying about 5-7 teams playing in bowl games and just go with it. ESPN’s getting your money so you might as well get some live action out of this.
There are way too many college bowl games. Most of these so called bowls are nothing more than exhibition games with a sponsor.

#BowlSeason kicks off today! There aren't too many bowls. Love them all. Football on TV is better than anything else on TV.
