Bowl season kicks off with a BYU blowout over UTEP

So, 1 down, 29 non-BCS bowls to go. Here is hoping that they get better, let's go for good.

BYU’s 52-24 win over UTEP in the New Mexico Bowl wasn’t even close to the best way to start the 2010 bowl season (unless, of course, your a BYU fan), and unfortunately for the casual observer, there’s no guarantee it’s going to get any better.

Still, there are some advantages to bowls, from the perspective of the players and coaches, it’s seen as a reward and a chance at extra practice. Bowls are usually held in decent locations and the money the schools receive is usually quite good. As for the traveling fans, bowls make a nice vacation and are easier to plan around than a 3 or 4 round playoff.(oops...did we say...playoff)

Really, there are way to many of them, but this is for now, much easier to deal with than a 70 team playoff, but time calls for change...who knows. In the meantime, we are working on a...SEC Football Online bowl, in let's say...make it sun, fun and suds.
