As for location:

The game was created in order to profit Raycom and remodeling of their stadium. If part of something important (wasn't there a bowl to support St Jude's?), maybe it's worthwhile. If it were supporting children's hospitals or Vet homes in home cities and Montgomery, it's worthwhile. If there was a conference rivalry, it might be worthwhile. Even APP St fans will say the same after a few years of bowling. For APP St fans, it's new and shiny. For MAC fans, it's old.

When has this board ever promoted success because of wins against "G5" teams, "interesting" match-up or not? How are fans saying this is interesting when neither fan base even heard of each other previous to a couple days ago? Are we reading posts by fans or game promoters, I'm not sure.

It will be nice to look for the score but other than that, I'm not able to generate any internal interest in this game. I'd feel counter-productive even supporting it. I don't see the relevance of the match-up. We measure success with wins against Pittsburgh, Michigan, Ohio St... but not Ark St (no disrespect), and a win or loss against App St will go into the wind too .... This game will be completely forgotten before the fans of either team get home. A win against a P5 team, would not.

I mean this respectfully to the largely-knowledgeable and respectful Toledo fans on this board, but who exactly do you think Toledo is?

FBS newbies or not, you're just as irrelevant (by your own definitions) as we are. Maybe I'll get frustrated with G5 existence eventually. I just don't think I'll ever be as cynical and jaded as you seem to be about the whole setup. It almost seems like you're not really a fan.

Your repeating my own words back at me and acting as if you've come up with a revelation. This passes for logic to you?

Do you think it's only me or only UofToledo fans frustrated with the G5-P5 ESPN controlled set-up? Open your eyes, learn to read. Acknowledge you're "new" at this and not all new things keep their shine. If you can't understand the difference between being a fan of an institution and being a fan of the organizations they need belong too or that control them, I can't help you much. That difference would be pretty clear to most.

I've been following UT for over 40 years, ups and downs. What do you got? It doesn't almost seem like you're not a fan. Sounds exactly like you're not a fan. When the weather gets cold, your program is down, or when you've decades of being dictated to because of lower performing schools in your conference, THEN come back here and talk about what a good fan you are, you might have some credibility.

Years invested or not, you've pledged to do nothing but look at the score of this game. You don't have to be a cheerleader for every G5 bowl tie-in, but at least watch the game on TV if you call yourself a Toledo fan.

Things will only get worse for you and your alma mater's athletics interests if more people adopt your protest-by-apathy strategy.

OK you win, I'll send ESPN a check as a "protest." 03-banghead

NOTHING against Montgomery. NOTHING against APP St. You've saved the world from "apathy," you can move on to your next rescue now. Much appreciated.

Toledo arrived in Montgomery earlier this night. Did they fly out of Toledo Express?

Based on the video spot on the news this evening it looked like they did.

2016 Camellia Bowl - Toledo (9-3) vs. Appalachian State (9-3)
Looks like I can make the game after all! If you want better bowl options we need as many fans at this game as we can get. I love Alabama any way

Wow! Aren't you just a bright ray of sunshine? Eeyore hisself would be proud of your post. 04-jawdrop

Druther be playing Clempson? Or maybe Bama? Or, maybe playing Navy in a cacophonous 78,000 seat stadium with 2,000 Toledo fans & about 5,000 Midshipmen fans? Boy, doesn't that look great on TV!

Unfortunately for you, Toledo has to play App. St. in that little teeny high school stadium down in Montgomery. Oh, the ignominy of it. Waah. 03-banghead

Speaking personally, I will be there; having fun, enjoying Montgomery, mingling with the locals, eating at the local restaurants, drinking the local beer, meeting some Rockets fans, and watching App. St. play Toledo along with about 10,000 of my closest friends. Should be a good game. And, all will be broadcast and recorded on ESPN. 04-cheers

Wish you were gonna be there!

Gee, I'm so much more interested in coming to meet you now. 03-banghead

No, I'd rather be playing APP St in a bowl that mattered for a cause that mattered or even in a place that was vacation worthy as opposed to a "bowl" prostituted for tv. You take a lot of vacations in Montgomery do you? If that's all you're looking for, lots of bars and places to meet with friends between Montgomery and Boone or between Toledo and Boone for that matter. 03-wink

Enjoy your day.

How many pimps has Raycom purchased to try and drum up UT interest? Would someone with a real life really be so worried about someone else's disinterest? Has to be a paid position.


Really, honestly, any fan of either school finding better things to do with the family and friends on this day will be just fine. Thanks for your interest though Winnie.

Aw, come on down. You can make it!

So, you don't want a televised bowl game? I know of only one. The Cure Bowl in Orlando. Sorry your team is not playing there.

I disagree that you are disinterested. Your posts show you to be EXTREMELY interested, and EXTREMELY NEGATIVE. That's what I was responding to. Given the lack of support from other Rocket fans, I would guess your negativity (hence, Eeyore) has run them off too.

It can't be as bad as you deem it to be!

University of Toledo has Fall Commencement at 10:00 AM Saturday in the Arena. Rocket Men's BB has a 7:00 PM Saturday home game. Lady Rockets BB(8-1)play a 2:00 PM home game on Sunday against #2 Notre Dame(9-1). The Lady Rockets only loss is a 2 pointer to #9 UCLA. Notre Dame's only loss is to #1 UConn. It's no wonder some Rocket fans are upset with the Bowl situation.

You're coming off kind of lonely here pal. First your logic. There's a big difference between a game on tv and a game made for tv. I think everyone else here has caught on to that, try to keep up and display some of that education APP St attempted to provide you.

Other things you're not seeing, presuming you can hold focus a bit:

Not one UT fan that IS going has tried to diminish my view on the origins of nor my lack of interest in this game and I've not attempted to diminish or disrespect theirs. We respect each other differences and for the most part, different views on this board.

I haven't ventured over to any APP St fan board but I'd presume no one went over there to try and convince any of your fans to not go nor have they attempted to diminish your desire to go. Much like I've made no attempt here to diminish your desire to go. It's your business.

We were just having conversation here, like we always do. You decided to come over here, remember? If the talk is too adult for you, feel free to crawl back into whatever playpen you left, Winnie. If you'd rather debate your view point that made for tv games have merits or even that this isn't a made for tv game, feel free to stay and offer them.

Good news is that the Bowl game will be playing at Savage before the Men's BB game. I'll be able to watch both, which will be great since I'm no big fan of defense.

Score could get held down by rain, unless they get the roof fixed in which case the games could be about even in point total.

So, you don't want a televised bowl game?

You're coming off kind of lonely here pal. First your logic. There's a big difference between a game on tv and a game made for tv. I think everyone else here has caught on to that, try to keep up and display some of that education APP St attempted to provide you.

Other things you're not seeing, presuming you can hold focus a bit:

Not one UT fan that IS going has tried to diminish my view on the origins of nor my lack of interest in this game and I've not attempted to diminish or disrespect theirs. We respect each other differences and for the most part, different views on this board.

I haven't ventured over to any APP St fan board but I'd presume no one went over there to try and convince any of your fans to not go nor have they attempted to diminish your desire to go. Much like I've made no attempt here to diminish your desire to go. It's your business.

We were just having conversation here, like we always do. You decided to come over here, remember? If the talk is too adult for you, feel free to crawl back into whatever playpen you left, Winnie. If you'd rather debate your view point that made for tv games have merits or even that this isn't a made for tv game, feel free to stay and offer them.

Yep, you are correct. This conversation is over my head. I'm still trying to cipher the deep meaning contained in your posts. The concept of trying to diminish one's lack of interest in a bowl game is beyond me. And, as long as I have been going to App. St. football games, I have never experienced such negativity or pessimism from someone who appears to be a frequent poster on a message board.

FTR, I was not trying to convince you not to attend games. I was trying to convince you to attend the bowl game on Saturday.

This prompts me to ask: What do you know of this year's Toledo football team? How do you think they will do Saturday?

Not sure. I don't have much experience with bowl games. I did attend last year, and it did seem to me that there were about 10,000 App fans there. Total attendance was like 22,000 I think. It did not seem to me like Ohio brought more than about 3,500. And, the rest were locals.

I will say that it is possible that App could bring 10,000 this year. But, for some reason, I don't think we will.

Don't think anyone said that about you but if you're looking for deep meaning in "it's a made for revenue tv bowl game with no other meaning and that's not interesting to me," then maybe it is.

Yep, you may be correct, it's too deep for you or you really read that post a bit too quickly since I posted exactly that no one is attempting to do that to your or to UT fans. No one here is trying to mind control you, do not go to the camillia bowl, we're really not. don't go will robinson. It's all your decision and we respect that danger, danger, danger

Why would anyone be posting on message boards while at the game? 01-wingedeagle

03-rotfl OK, I'll wait for someone to explain it to you. Does APP St know you're representing them?

You've really not been paying attention. "no interest" remember?

kinda doubt 10,000, rumors that I heard was we sold our first allotment of 3500 and were working on our second one, just a guess, but I'm thinking between 6500 to 7000.
