No Bowls on New Year's Day?

AJHawkfan

Wanna make $14 the hard way?
I was just looking at the bowl schedule to see when the various games were, and I noticed that there are 0 (that's ZERO!, none, nada) bowl games on New Year's day this year. It's a Sunday, so I can only assume they don't want to go up against the NFL games...... There are only 3 shitty bowls on New Year's Eve; the Meineke Car Care Bowl, the AutoZone Liberty Bowl, and the EV1.net bowl.

The rest of them are on the 2nd, which really sucks if you have to work that day........

I hope you're joking, but if you aren't I have a bad cold on the 2nd, and won't be able to make it into work.

January 2, 2006 is a Federal Holiday since New Years Day is on a Sunday. Most every business in the country will still be closed on Monday, Jan 2, as are all schools.

I feel sorry for anyone who has a job where they will have to work on Jan 2nd, but I think this is the only thing the bowls can do. CBS and Fox (I believe) show NFL games and bowls and they can't really show them both at the same time especially since most people don't work on the 2nd. I just wish I didn't have to work on the third.

Get this everybody...Classes begin on the 3rd of January this year. Yes, that means if we make the Orange bowl as I project, we will be playing on the first day of classes. I for one will do my duty and not be in attendance because I will be travelling to our BCS bowl along with many other students. Stupid University should know better than to start classes so early :tongue2:
