Let’s Go Bowling!

It’s that time again… while college football bowl season has lost some luster due to the CFB Playoff, trying to beat the hell out of your fellow LGM readers never gets old.

With respect to the scandal du jour… I do have some sympathy for players who have no interest in playing in meaningless exhibition, but I can’t help to find it hilarious that Notre Dame is so butt hurt about being excluded:
Notre Dame athletic director Pete Bevacqua unloaded on the ACC in the wake of Sunday’s College Football Playoff snub, saying the conference that houses almost every Fighting Irish sports team has caused “permanent damage” to the relationship.
Bevacqua told “The Dan Patrick Show” on Monday that he has great respect for Miami, Alabama and all the teams that stated their cases for CFP inclusion and ultimately were included in the field of 12. However, Bevacqua is upset with how the ACC pushed for Miami over Notre Dame leading up to the selections.
“We were mystified by the actions of the conference to attack their biggest, really, partner in football and a member of their conference in 24 of our other sports,” Bevacqua told Patrick. “… They have certainly done permanent damage to the relationship between the conference and Notre Dame.”
Last month, the ACC’s official account on X posted a side-by-side comparison of Miami and Notre Dame, accompanied by the text, “No hypotheticals, just facts.” Miami beat Notre Dame 27-24 in the season opener, a game the Hurricanes never trailed, and finished with an identical 10-2 record.
Now that’s some entitlement! It’s a shame, though, because I would have loved to see Notre Dame play in a bowl game so closely associated with transubstantiation.
