Bowls of Interest

While you may be correct about the east-west shrine game is about equal to New Orleans Bowl but East West Shrine Game practice week holds 10x the importance of the game

UL hosted Jeff Ireland on a zoom chat a few years ago. He went over the draft process, I was blown away how much stock and evaluation goes on during that week.

So it is most important to try and be healthy for that opportunity . . .

The East West Shrine game is the least important "all star game" of any. It always has been. The Senior Bowl has always been the most important "All Star game". But every game a player has is important to their draft stock & even more important when they get down to final training camp cuts. And don't try to tell me that a player's college resume doesn't affect them making an NFL roster, or not. These cuts come down to everything. the number one factor being the one I mentioned to begin with, How does a guy play when the game "is meaningless"?

Senior bowl almost guarantees your getting drafting. Does not mean the other all star bowls are not launching pads for some players.

NFL cuts are an entire different situation . Its where All Americans and Bowl MVPs are cut for UDFA. It's only about what you did to that point with that team.

The regular season and start of the bowl season seemed as normal as it probably could. I can’t recall many postponements/cancellations. Now in a week you’ve got several.

Most of the schools canceling have new coaching staffs ... how convenient

I'm wondering now how Rugers would feel if Wake "cough, cough" declined to play!
