So the Birmingham bowl matters? the GMAC care car bowl? etc... etc.. The new version of the bowl season is crap. If you aren't playing for a BCS or a playoff game, you just got yourself a vacation for a week and extra practice time. So do you think we had a $hitty recruiting class due to the Tangerine Bowl, or because our coaches couldn't recruit. If it mattered so much, why weren't we in the top 10 in recruiting rankings before it?
It's the last game those kids see of you. How'd you look? If they are on the fence do you think it helps or hinders? If you're 6-5? yeah, who cares? A first year coach trying to make a name for himself and the program? It matters. What? The game is in your own backyard against another VISIBLE program? Wait, you've lost two straight to rivals? Yeah, it matters.
