All the way back on Dec. 7, Oklahoma football coach Brent Venables and his Arizona counterpart, Jedd Fisch, participated in the original Alamo Bowl press conference. Yes, the game was always set for 8:15 p.m. Thursday, live from the Alamodome, in Texas’ finest city, ask any sportswriter who went to college there, but the folks who put on the game were getting right to work.
I agree. How long until the commercial interests in bowl games catches up with the reality that they are now meaningless, and all that will matter is a 10 game season and a 16 team playoff? The sponsor names of the bowls tell the story. 3-4 are about tax preparation?
I’m with you Clay, while the extra practices will help towards quicker retention for some, and due to today’s (TPL) transfer portal landscape, some players will get first or extended opportunity to play, the “next” game is always the most important one. Arizona should be the focus, hope it is for players as well.
