College Football’s Bowl Games: Why Fans Should Pay More Attention

The college football season is coming to a close soon, but right now, before a National Champion team is crowned, there will be bowl games airing on ESPN. These games feature NCAA FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision) teams who performed well enough in the regular season to advance to the postseason. The focus, however, will be on the College Football Playoff matchups, featuring the defending National Champions, the Alabama Crimson Tide taking on fourth-ranked Washington, while the second-seeded Ohio State Buckeyes square off against the third-ranked Clemson Tigers and its high-powered offense. And while these four semi-final football games are going to draw sports fans’ attention, the other bowl games should not be neglected. Here’s why.

One reason why sports fans, specifically college football fans, should devote more of their attention to the bowl games is the display of talented players. Both college football teams from major colleges/universities around the country feature athletes that could one day make an impact for an NFL team.

Another reason why college football fans should pay more attention to the bowl games is that there may be nothing else exciting going on in the sports world. And there are times when there is nothing great to watch on other TV channels. College football acts as a final option for viewers, but if the games are blowouts or the teams are just playing sloppy football, the fans and TV viewers won’t tune in.

In all, the college football bowl season should be one that draws interest in sports fans, for a variety of reasons. The bowl games are the rewards for college football teams who performed better than expected in the regular season, and the games also showcase potential NFL talent in these athletes. Additionally, there may not be any exciting sporting events being aired by ESPN or other networks who broadcast sports, and the bowl games may be the last resort. The networks paid a bunch of money to have the games broadcasted, and they are counting on college sports fans (or sports fans in general) to watch them. Don’t disappoint, watch a college football bowl game, and discover something different.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
