Notes that the overall quality of individual bowl games is on the decline (despite the efforts of the playoff and Group of Six bowls).
I am a Hog fan. I was long before my name was etched, twice, on the sidewalks on the Hill. I will be long after Sam Pittman and Eric Mussleman are coaches, and Hunter Yuracheck is AD. I am a Hog fan when we win, when we lose and when we don't play. I love hearing the UA band play the National Anthem on game day, but I sing along to the Alma Mater.

Can't fault the article. The bowl matchups are horrible his year.
If it turns, burns, banks or rolls, crew chiefs made it happen.

im most excited about the fact that our most cynical fans wont bother to watch this lowly bowl so we wont have to suffer through their ignorant analysis afterwards.

Woo 🐖.
If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.

Took care of business as in... beat Missouri? Or beat Missouri and LSU? or beat Missouri, LSU and A&M?
