New Year's Bowl Games (they're ain't none)

[Bally #50]

I just read the list of the 30+ bowl games scheduled and just noticed that are not ANY games on New Year's Day. What is with that? Either it was a misprint or I am forgetting how to read. How can we possibly go a whole New Year's Day without any football? That doesn't even make sense. I should have the 2nd off but it is not definite and hopefully I will enjoy watching the games scheduled on Monday but for Pete's sake, I can't imagine no football on Jan 1st. I can't ever remember this ever happening before. Anyone got an answer for me? Frankly, I think it sucks.

Right you are Bally. I hadn't noticed this until you brought it to our attention. This link shows the bowls by date with town, teams, payout per team etc. It's kind of interesting.

I am shocked. Disappointed as well. Watch the Rose parade and then "go for a bike ride?" Not the same.

Could be because NYD is a Sunday, and the NFL is playing that day?

Likely so.

But given the choice between watching two 6-6 college teams and the colts, I would most likely opt for Heidi. Somebody else can explain it to the kids.

Funny. This had to have happened 6-8 years ago and I do not remember the NFL taking over. My guess is they did but I do not remember it. I watched "Black Swan" instead of most of the Colt's game Sunday so what does that say? I am a season ticket holder and a fan. That really sucks.

Mila Kunis' unexpected "evening snack" with Natalie Portman is obviously more exciting than watching the Colts getting drubbed by the Ravens. Tough to swallow. (literally)

I thought there wasn't any NYD games last year either?
