Sometimes I don't even use a link; I just look outside, and think, 'maybe I'll go outside'.
And then I go outside.
Don't even need to lean my happiness on how well college students play a game out there.

One at QB, the rest playing various parts of the defense.
Gotta play the game to play against the game.
Exactly. Next man up. Look at the positives of key players being out / hurt, it's an opportunity for these younger guys to show their stuff. They may be hungry and waiting all year and now's their chance.
Sure, we fans would like to have our all-conference and best players out there, but it's exciting to get a look at key players for next season in this game and get them some big time experience.
Some of you posters say "all this bowl crap" and "can't even enjoy college football anymore" should try and look on the bright side. Go State!
You mean the place with the bugs, the sun, and the people?
I put money on Clemson alternative line -7. I just don’t see anyway we win without a miracle.
Generally, I agree; it's just an exhibition really and a reward for the players and fans to have some fun.
The problem though is the 24 hour news cycle and ESPN. Lose, and the last memory the general public has until next year is "they suck", their conference sucks. Win, and you get pre-season #7 ratings. Unfortunately, perception is reality, and it impacts recruiting, TV ratings/money, et al.
So in happy land, it doesn't matter. But in the real world it does matter some.
Yesterday I read that they had two players out with covid and one in quarantine. Didn't say who the players were.
Updates:
RB1 Hall upgraded to Biggest Cheerleader
WR1 Hutchinson is Radio Rumor
C Newell is Hotel Bootin' CFer Rumor
SLB Rose upgraded to Momma Said Playin' CFer
MS Young downgraded to Doubtful
I think about this too but then I think about how forgettable so many other games are that feature 7-5ish teams and even the higher profile ones and how some of these don't really impact what happens to so many teams.
The transfer/early draft thing has only enhanced the lack of interest for me. It's just kind of football being on which is fine.
