Title: Just for discussion ......... Post by: HerbTarlekVol on June 05, 2015, 05:31:08 EDT So, we are now giving players rings for winning the "Taxslayer Bowl" and going 7-6?
And not only that, but the rings don't even say Taxslayer Bowl, they say Gator Bowl, which doesn't exist any longer. Is this what a once proud program has become? Fire away.

Doesn't bother me at all. Also, IMO I attended the Gator Bowl, don't give a damn what they called it.And not only that, but the rings don't even say Taxslayer Bowl, they say Gator Bowl, which doesn't exist any longer.

Giving rings for going 7-6 and winning a second tier bowl game just doesn't make sense to me. Just call it Upward Football and give them all a banana, juice box, and certificate of participation.
Don't understand the entitlement world we live in. Title: Re: Just for discussion ......... Post by: Creek Walker on June 05, 2015, 05:48:40 EDT If there were 1,000 things on my list of stuff to care about today, this would be somewhere around No. 998.

Is there anything worth talking about at this point, then? How many times can one go over the potential depth chart and talk about the incoming freshman class? Title: Re: Just for discussion ......... Post by: Clockwork Orange on June 05, 2015, 06:56:08 EDT Everybody does bowl rings now, even in losses. Yeah, it seems silly, but you reward the players however you can within the rules.

I'm not saying it's not worthy of discussion. I'm just saying that for me, personally, it's a non-issue. Is it kinda silly? Probably. But in the grand scheme of things, I can't muster up enough give-a-damn to complain about it. Title: Re: Just for discussion ......... Post by: Tnphil on June 05, 2015, 11:56:37 EDT They use to give watches for bowl games......Very few people wear watches anymore. I've been retired for 6 years and haven't had one on since I retired.
Most folks use their cell phones for time now. Title: Re: Just for discussion ......... Post by: BanditVol on June 12, 2015, 05:01:06 EDT My impression is that it's routine for bowl games.
Maybe not back in the day, but hey, we don't hitch up horses to wagons much anymore either. :naughty: |
