You want to know what gets my blood boiling in this dead period? Not the Sorsby mess at Tech, not the portal chaos, not even the Texas AG sticking his nose where it don't belong. Its how nobody remembers what bowl games used to mean. We used to measure a season by what bowl you earned. The Cotton Bowl, the Sun Bowl, the Bluebonnet Bowl back in the Southwest Conference days. You earned that trip. It meant something. Now we got teams with losing recorrds going to some sponsored exhibition nobody watches and the players are already in the portal before the game ends. The 1998 Sun Bowl team would be ashamed of what this sport has become.
