Quote:I had never heard of this game. It should be interesting to watch for everyone who cares.

 

The practices are on ESPNU today (1-15-14) and tomorrow. It appears they will be re-aired. Check the cable schedule.

 

This is the 3rd annual of what I call the Melancholia Bowl. The last chance for many of these players. The majority are playing their last organized football game. Some are/may be NFL Combine invitees. Some will become camp roster players. A doubt that more than a small number with see playing time in an NFL regular-season game.

 

The East-West Shrine game and the Senior Bowl will both feature better talent and more recognizable names.

 

The East-West game will over-lap the Collegiate Bowl. I DVR the latter and watch out of respect hoping to see somebody do something positive enough to spark pro scout interest.
