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"?

Maybe, but certainly not in attendance. When Michigan (deep snow, frozen land) plays Nebraska (cold wind, landscape of cornstalks) in the middle of the week with no competing programming other than reruns of "Attack of the Killer Squash" or "Cooking with Dr. Phil," they should draw a respectable number of TV viewers. But they only put about 62,000 folks in the seats while the Sugar Bowl will draw a sellout 72,000.
