This game encapsulates how meaningless and absurd the bowl system is.  It's lunch hour during a workweek an there are less people at that game then there would be at a junior high game (much less a high school game) and most of those in the stands are fans and families of the players who traveled from out of state.    This is the sport version of those Pakistani trucks with all the paintings on it.

This is the game that they cancelled last year after a quarter or so due to weather.

Just think, if not for the hockey game this would be played at the Cotton Bowl.  Talk about empty seats.

The problem with this bowl is they bring in teams from far away. More folks would go if this was a Friday or Saturday game and if they had local or closer teams play in it. Back when it was Heart of Dallas Bowl, it had a good turnout every time North Texas came. Also, Oklahoma State had a lot of people come when they played Purdue
