[Harry Rex Vonner]

UK gets bowl bids to these fourth-rate, watered down, joke bowls because of the large number of fans who will follow their lackluster favorites anywhere and, while there, spend a lot of money. The bids have nothing to do with any perceived ability of the team because, comparatively so, there is little.

It is very much like the kid of little or no ability or social graces who is invited to join the club only because his family has a lot of money. Sadly, some seem to believe that they actually earned this bid on the football field. But, all who are realists know that merit had absolutely nothing to do with it. It was earned with visions of checkbooks and credit cards.
