They are begging us to go. $10 tickets right now - as many as you want to buy.

By next week, they'll be handing them out like keychains. NO ONE wants to go to this dog of a game.

Seriously - bowl games were bad before, but the expanded CFP has made them even worse.

The pre-Christmas bowls are all but unwatchable (but I'll watch them).

Please say it isn't the Vegas Bowl.

low attendance at the lower end bowl games is nothing new.
Been that way well before the college football playoff

The Armed Forces Bowl is actually a good time, minus the quality of play on the field (sometimes there are quality games). Was lucky enough that my old company was a major sponsor, so I got to enjoy all the fun events and VIP stuff. The golf tournament they put on each year is really fun too.

Hah, one of my former employers was a sponsor as well. Our accounting manager (who was in his late 40s by the way) got so piss drunk that he crapped himself. I think the game kicked off at 10 am. I heard that his wife was far from pleased when she picked him up.

Physical attendance isn't really how any of them make money anyway. It's all about the TV. ESPN makes money on every bowl game.

When they start giving out tickets for free, are you going to share the love?

That about sums it up for us (minus the BM!). Early morning kick, often times very cold...usually just stayed in the VIP areas and drank...until the after party which was another drunk fest. Usually good music and food/drink though.

One highlight from a previous year was getting to meet a Tuskegee Airman.
Also got to hear Joe Theismann speak one year. He was great!

I recall one year walking into a bathroom stall on the east side, and it was FULL of mini-liquor bottles. I couldn't even take a step without stepping on them. Most people attending were absolutely there because their employer gave them free ticket and PTO to go.

I understand OP not wanting to identify who they work for....

But wth is the point of starting this thread and not saying what bowl it is?

My employer sponsors a baseball team. Unsold tickets day of can be bought for like 5 bucks. We also have a big suite, tickets in the behind the plate club, and an assortment of other season tickets.
I of course don't get any of these invites when I'm in town.

OP lives in Dallas so its either ServPro First Responders bowl or Scooters Coffee Frisco Bowl, both of which look equally dogwater. My guess is the ServPro that he is referring to.

That's done by my company. Haven't seen any begging for tickets though. If they want to spring to fly us out there and put us up I'm willing to entertain customers.

Now why would she be upset about that?

We'll win this war, but we'll win it only by fighting and by showing the Germans that we've got more guts than they have, or ever will have. We're not going to just shoot the sons-of-b******, were going to rip out their living G*******d guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. We're going to murder those lousy Hun c********** by the bushel-f****** basket. War is a bloody killing business. You've got to spill their blood or they will spill yours. Rip them up the belly. Shot them in the guts.

Used to audit SRS back in the day….started in Tampa, then in McKinney…some people made some serious money . Couldn't believe it when I saw they were sponsoring a bowl game.

Held the day after New Years, at 11:00 in the morning, in TCU's stadium...

Yikes.

Can you get us discounts for Poulan Weedeaters? It's the landscape offseason so I assume so?

Send us codes for it!
