If you love college football, then you’re probably excited for the start of BOWL SEASON. Look, we all know that the vast majority of these bowl games are pretty much meaningless, but they still give us the opportunity to get some more college football in our lives before the HUGE void that comes from January through August.
Eight months y’all...
That’s not to say that these games are worthless — far from it. Schools around the country use bowls as building blocks for their football programs, and in many cases it helps create some excitement moving forward.
