People are funny. Texas says ain't no one traveling for the end of the season. Consolation games. First of all, it happened already for decades and basketball. It literally, as I opened the conversation, it was, there was a time when there was a consolation game that was played in the arena before the championship game. So it actually already happened. But if you change sports, literally every, not every bowl game, because now bowl games are tournament games, they're elimination games, right? Right, you're playing on the road to the championship.

That's like few, yeah. Right. There's few. But fair to say, 90% of the bowl games, yeah, right, are consolation games, right? Do people travel for those games? They do. Right?

Did folks travel to face Utah this year? Yeah, yeah. Pretty good crowd, right? We were, like, I was actually there and watched the fans meet three days in advance to party together in that space, right? Right? Yeah. Yeah.

It happened. Right. Did the program get additional practice days because of that bowl game? They did. Because they were still competing. They were still competing so they practiced more. Did they get better? We would think, right?

They got better. Entire arguments. I'd hope so. The value of playing in bowl games is the additional work and the additional competition. Right? Fair? That's always been the discussion. That's always been the discussion.

I've played in them and I've coached. in it. And I'm telling you. BetMGM is an official sports betting partner of the National Hockey League and has everything for the action on the ice.

Got done in college, played on a tour.

So just so we can play more games, get more experience. We're playing for a championship, Bach. You were just playing. Playing to get better. Playing for the competition. Playing because you need it. Because you love it. There were, I think, what they say at the time,

20,000 Husker fans traveled to the bowl game against Utah? Yeah. Okay. Okay. Just saying. What are you in the black shirt going to talk about? Well, again, I'm going to highlight a little bit of the men's gymnastics that we're going to go to, or that I'm going to go to here with Emma Spence this evening.

and cover that over the weekend. So stay tuned to our socials for that. For Buck in the Blackshirt, I can't wait. We've got plenty of discuss about while we're on this case, there seems to be more momentum from a few different folks now in canceling the SEC championship game. So as we talk about games and their place and all that sort of stuff, college championship games,

conference championship games are pretty lost right now in our current world of expanded playoffs. Meaningful games. But meaningful games. Maybe not according to the SEC. Meaningful. Meaningful games. Because I tell you what, if you limit the number of SEC teams that can get into the college playoff,

I bet they'd leave them bowl games alone. I bet you they would. All things in play. All right. Don't go anywhere. Bach in the black shirt. Plus TP, more box. Enjoy yourselves.

Let's talk to you guys later.
