Let's see ... #8 and #11 are playing. Seems a bit more potential there in the transplanted Sugar Bowl (been around about 70 years) than when # 20/21 Michigan got snuffed by HA! unranked Nebraska in the 13th annual Alamo??? Bowl, a rather obscure "bowl" invented so that lackluster "Big" Ten teams could have a place to lose yet another game to a non-"Big" Ten team.
While ESPN brags that Michigan's dismal showing against Nebraska was the most watched college game ever on ESPN, that's not saying much. In fact, attendance at the game was only the 5th best in that minor bowl's brief history.
But I suppose that when one is trying to recover from such a bitter (but entirely predictable) defeat, one snatches any favorable comment from the airwaves, no matter how insignificant. :>)
You're just upset because ESPN nicknamed it "The forgotten Bowl".
Not to mention that a totally uncalled for bowl such as the Alamo Bowl will outdraw it.
"If a bowl was played, and nobody watched it, would it count"?
