Is this the most boring bowl season ever?

PrintMichigan State is leading Georgia 6-3 in the 3rd Quarter.
Clemson leads Nebraska 14-3 at halftime.
Oregon State beats Pitt 3-0.
Georgia Tech can only manage 3 points against a woeful LSU team.
Vandy beats BC 16-14.
I haven't really enjoyed a bowl game yet this year. And the BCS bowls don't offer a great deal of hope for entertainment other than maybe USC - PSU (and of course the Fiesta Bowl). I hope I'm proven wrong. How does the BON'er community feel?All comments, FanPosts, and FanShots are the views of the reader-authors who create them.

Cincy and VT
In a word, stunning. Err, I meant vomiting.
Perhaps the most recognizable mascot in sports, and certainly the toughest looking, Bevo is a fixture
On the other hand...
Missouri/Northwestern was entertaining (not well played, but entertaining never the less), and the Oregon/OSU game was very good in my opinion.
the man, the myth, the legend.
Disagreed
I was at the Alamo Bowl and that game was about as entertaining as watching Chase’s second chin grow. At least until the very end.

In addition, on tv, the formula was...
Mizzou runs a play, shows Daniel’s family celebrating/in despair, show replay, rinse repeat. The Oregon v. Okie lite game was fun.

The really funny person was the woman behind the family.
I was watching to see if she was going to stroke out.

UNC and West Virginia was pretty damn good
Disciplina Praesidium Civitatis.
OSU vs. Pitt
might have been the worst college football game I have ever seen. Embarassing.
Garrett Gilbert: 2014 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year
I. Was. There.
Unbelievably terrible game. There are literally dozens of high school quarterbacks in Texas that could have played better than Stull (Pitt’s QB), I cannot believe that guy is a D-1 player. At least they served beer (even though it was 8 bucks for a 24 oz. can).
Now I'm even happier
that I wasn’t at that stinker. It would have taken quite a few of those $8 beers to get through that.
At least there was some doubt about the outcome. I stopped watching the Rose Bowl to go out and shovel snow. It seemed more entertaining than watching USC’s offense against some high school JV team.

Plus Cotton Bowl at 2 PM on a work day not New Years Day, the national championship isn’t for another week and UT doesn’t play for 4 more days. I understand the argument that the BCS will put together better matchups than otherwise would happen, but when they’re this bad and this spread out, what’s the point of the BCS?
The Point of the BCS
Is create “buzz” so we have “the most important regular season in sports.” The “Buzz” is always the same: the BCS sucks donkey dicks. As for the “most important regular season,” I think we all know that it doesn’t matter what happens on the field.

The San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl
(What a mouthful…!!) was a great game. TCU over Boise State. I enjoyed that one a great deal. I was happy for Nebraska too, they played a good game against Clemson. BTW, I think the Iowa defense may be the class of the Big Ten after what I saw today against the Gamecocks.
But NO, it has not been a great Bowl Season… yet. If we beat tOSU, the lackluster of the rest of the bowls won’t matter a bit. Hook’em baby.

there have been some great games
Maryland-Nevada, UNC-WV, Houston-AF, NC State-Rutgers, S. Miss-Troy, Mizzou-Northwestern, Oregon-Okie State, TCU-Boise, Nebraska-Clemson….Now, most of the games today were pretty much garbage, but i think a lot of the lesser games have been extremely entertaining. At the very least, they’ve been competitive, which is as much as you can ask for after a month long layoff for a lot of teams.
Yawn
I spent most of the day watching Freaky Links on the Sci Fi Channel.
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you're a mile away AND you have their shoes.
You mean you didn't get excited hearing about how USC has been 'robbed'
over and over and over again…
so when we beat USC, despite that wussy Leinart’s comments afterwards that they didn’t lose, the media had dubbed them ‘the best college football team of all time’; and yesterday a really over rated Penn team got it handed to them by the ‘best college football defense of all time’…whatever, that was not that impressive of a team at all. I’m so sick of USC getting home field advantage every year and then crying about how they aren’t respected. It seems now our friends at ESPN want to erase their loss earlier in the year what a joke.
worst BCS bowl season by far, I hope every Big XII team but OU wins AND Stoops realizes he’s already done everything he could possibly achieve in college short of getting arrested and leaves them for Denver.
I know no one saw it
But the Liberty Bowl was pretty exciting today, Bob Davie announcing the game be damned.
