Bowls don't really matter anymore. The bowls that do matter will attract more players to stay longer.

Debating some of our fans on Twitter talking about the Pinstripe Bowl being must-win as Miami is 1-10 in bowl games (dating back to 2007) and hasn't won in the post-season since 2016, where Mark Richt beat West Virginia his first season.

This game with Rutgers is now a glorified scrimmage as Miami is down to a third-string quarterback and will see over a dozen starters either declaring for the draft or transferring out—a slew of second- and third-string kids out there playing against the Scarlet Knights' first string, who will treat this New York bowl game like their natty.

Outside of there being no significant difference between 7-6 and 8-5—the old adage of getting a post-season win and riding that momentum into spring; the portal also kills that as so many bodies are going out and new ones coming in, a December bowl game will be ancient history by the time a new-look roster suits up for a spring game in April.

If you're not in the Playoffs the post season is meaningless; as even the NY6 games lost their luster and aren't enough to get big named kids to stick around to participate.

I do agree with you 100%. But if we lose I'm going to increase to a mega ***** till September.
