Or even happy hour.

you had me until here.

Yeah..it’s true.

I don’t get the whole Ryan Gosling thing. He is not hot and has no charisma.

He already has 4 pretty incredible performances on his resume : Lars and The Real Girl; Blue Valentine; Half Nelson; and Drive.

I think he’s probably the most talented male actor under 40.

Christian Bale is under 40, so this is flatout wrong

I think what Butters is saying is he’d prefer they still make a product he doesn’t think is veering towards suck, because he’d like to continue to enjoy said product as much as he remembers in the past.

no doubt…that’s how i feel about golf.

but lets say TBL wrote a bunch of posts with changes to the fedex cup playoff system, but still wrote posts saying siht like “some guy named adam scott.” it’s fairly clear he “doesn’t get it.” or slamming tiger for not winning a major…”doesn’t get it.” says golf’s boring…”not a fan.”

husker and i are not criticizing those who enjoy the sport but criticize elements of it…we’re hating on the coverage of CFB by this site’s authors.

I’m not saying you don’t get it. I’m saying you get it, don’t like it, so why watch it?

I’d best equate it with your watching the Big Ten and bagging on it…it’s something that should be good, used to be good and you watch now and then hoping for the best but when proven wrong express disappointment through the power of snark

I think what Butters is saying is he’d prefer they still make a product he doesn’t think is veering towards suck, because he’d like to continue to enjoy said product as much as he remembers in the past. Sort of like how I’d really like the idealized version of professional wrestling I have involving late 80s NWA angles and current New Japan work rate.

The problem with that thought is the CFB game (product on the field) is better than it’s ever been.

i stopped enjoying baseball because the product sucks. id say i fit the label of “not a fan” entirely, which is fine by me.

The whole “you just don’t get it” has always rubbed me the wrong way, suggesting some level of higher understanding is silly…it’s okay to have a conversation about the status quo of something you like waning in quality which I think is fair to say about the bowl season

we’re not hating on informed, educated individuals like yourself when we say things like that…we’re hating on the viewers like TBL who claim ND AND michigan fandom, watch maybe a dozen games per year but incessantly complain and suggest things they’d want to see even tho they probably wouldnt watch anyways since gossip girl is on.

The whole “you just don’t get it” has always rubbed me the wrong way,

I’m not saying you don’t get it. I’m saying you get it, don’t like it, so why watch it? if I were CFB King for a day I would cut the number of bowl games to 20. The top-40 teams are eligible in any combination they want and that would be that. But I understand that’s not how it works. Some teams, though not great, are good for certain cities.

i mean, what? why is it arrogant to suggest not wasting your time on something you don’t enjoy?

But you are right on not spending as much time with it, which kinda bums me out

That’s the sort of defensiveness from CFB Fan that gets me…I think the bowl season’s gotten worse and enjoyed it more back in the day but heaven forbid someone say as much because you’re then labeled “not a fan” and someone who “just doesn’t get it”, such arrogance

Well, spencer said it better than I could, so I’ll let 266 stand for itself. I will say that I miss the Jan 1 day being as big as it used to be, but if people want to hose a crappy bowl game in Nashville on the 28th of December, more power to them. I’ll watch if I’m free at that time, that’s for sure.

You can hate on those if you want, but the solution is simple. Stop watching.

to be fair, he wouldnt have paid attention to the film during the regular season anyways. why would he? all he’s gotta do is cheap shot someone after the whistle and then beat the crap out of his backup.

Mich St is a prime example of a team taking on the personality of its coach

There are non-competitive games every week in CFB. But seeing KST play Oregon was great. The b10-SEC games were fun, too, especially the Outback bowl and seeing NW win a bowl game. You can hate on those if you want, but the solution is simple. Stop watching.

i never thought in a million years id have been excited to watch kent state/arkansas state…and yet, here i was.

Michigan State player who had one foot out of the door to the NFL may not have been REALLY paying attention to the film breakdown two days before Christmas.

Aside from all the bad matchups and non-competitive games

Aside from all the bad matchups and non-competitive games that we were later told don’t mean anything because the long layoffs change who teams are this year’s bowl season was top notch

All bowl games are seasons unto themselves with the exception of the national title game. You can’t ever question motivation in that game. But Joe Schmo UGA player might not have been thrilled to be at practice 12/26, or the Michigan State player who had one foot out of the door to the NFL may not have been REALLY paying attention to the film breakdown two days before Christmas. Those are real issues for sure. Of course the players are jacked on game day. That’s a given, but those bowl games are won or lost in the time before the game.

unless your name is John Daly or David Duval.
