Okay, we are not going to agree on this, one week change is already happens

for schools every year and I don't see the impact you are talking about. However, I respect you feel differently from me on this and it will be interesting to see if it ever changes.

Apparently People are Watching These Bowls
HOO86 • 01/02/26 03:39 PM ET
Serious question: does recording a game on DVR count as a viewer?**
MP4VT2004 • 01/03/26 02:47 PM ET
Yes, it does.**
CobbCountyHokie • 01/06/26 03:48 PM ET
Thanks!**
MP4VT2004 • 01/06/26 04:35 PM ET
I have heard it does count, watching on phone at game too, please get WIFI!**
Stech • 01/05/26 02:05 PM ET
I was watching. A lot of empty time during the holidays.
HouClone • 01/02/26 08:17 PM ET
They're watching the bowls with the compelling matchups, same as ever
Synaesthesia • 01/02/26 05:44 PM ET
The % growth needs an asterisk. Measurement is different this year
HokieAl • 01/02/26 06:34 PM ET
This is the real result

Attendance at the Christmas week ones was down looked like.
HOO86 • 01/02/26 06:46 PM ET
We’ve had the TV on with bowl game noise in the background…
Calamitous • 01/02/26 04:39 PM ET
For networks that is ALL they care just like clicks on the web**
1947Sunbowl • 01/02/26 06:07 PM ET
How about this, schools can pick to play either Pre-Season or Post Season
Stech • 01/02/26 03:50 PM ET
Nobody is going to preseason bowl games
mrcaniac • 01/02/26 09:57 PM ET
They are already selling them out when they play them. Tech has been to
Stech • 01/02/26 10:39 PM ET
They usually play them in Atlanta, New Orleans, Dallas, and Vegas
mrcaniac • 01/03/26 12:04 AM ET
Why can’t they play some in those indoor MLB stadiums when the team is on
Stech • 01/03/26 12:16 AM ET
Not all baseball stadiums can host football games
mrcaniac • 01/03/26 12:27 AM ET
Agreed, but we would have way more options to play up north where weather
Stech • 01/03/26 07:55 AM ET
The key words.....
2hhoop3 • 01/02/26 10:55 PM ET
No hotter than ⚾️games, better than Fenway/Yankee Stadiums in December.
Stech • 01/02/26 11:11 PM ET
The statement.....
2hhoop3 • 01/02/26 11:16 PM ET
Mentioned Atlanta where the Braves play outside all July and August, cancel
Stech • 01/02/26 11:31 PM ET
You should take your own advice......
2hhoop3 • 01/02/26 11:37 PM ET
Got it, cancel Major League & LL Baseball in August, too hot for the fans.
Stech • 01/02/26 11:47 PM ET
The fans aren't the only factor in the discussion. As I noted in another
VTHokie2000 • 01/03/26 03:42 PM ET
I get that argument, I don't agree with it because practice is harder than
Stech • 01/03/26 03:50 PM ET
Why do you assume players risk of dying only occurs during games? If you
VTHokie2000 • 01/03/26 06:47 PM ET
I said opposite, practices r harder than games, I don't get why u r asking
Stech • 01/03/26 06:51 PM ET
Because you can't make Week 0 officially the new Week 1 without it
VTHokie2000 • 01/03/26 08:01 PM ET
Okay, we are not going to agree on this, one week change is already happens ◄
Stech • 01/03/26 08:18 PM ET
The reason the Week 0 games are played is because the participating schools
VTHokie2000 • 01/03/26 09:09 PM ET
I understand your point of view, someone else will decide this, not us.**
Stech • 01/03/26 09:42 PM ET
I don't disagree that the schools will ultimately decide whether to change
VTHokie2000 • 01/03/26 11:07 PM ET
You mentioned VT playing in Atlanta preseason football games, which were
RJHokie • 01/02/26 11:58 PM ET
Why didn’t he say that? He starts with his insult but wasn’t direct like u.
Stech • 01/03/26 12:08 AM ET
It was pretty obvious to me what @2hhoop3 was saying.
RJHokie • 01/03/26 09:15 AM ET
Thanks for trying......
2hhoop3 • 01/03/26 09:27 AM ET
LOL you still haven't said why they can't play more preseason bowls if they
Stech • 01/03/26 10:13 AM ET
Like I said ....
2hhoop3 • 01/03/26 10:54 AM ET
Thanks for not answering the question again, you be you.**
Stech • 01/03/26 10:55 AM ET
I have no reason.....
2hhoop3 • 01/03/26 11:11 AM ET
Still can't answer the question about why they can't play preseason bowls,
