As I sit here mad that Iowa lost a game I’ve seen them lose before under Kirk Ferentz, I keep having to tell myself this.
Bowl games don’t matter anymore. They don’t matter anymore unless you’re in one of the top games that’s associated with the playoff on December 31 or January 1. They don’t matter anymore. Bowl games don’t matter anymore.
Until the game starts, you’re playing a border team that plays in the SEC, they’re standing over players after tackles and jawing with people all day...then the game absolutely matters and I wanted that one.
