Why has it not been highlighted more Texas had five defensive starters out, their stud WR, LT and also lost one of the more storied QBs in their history to injury in the first half. I didn't see them use that as an excuse to bend over and take it all night long. Okie State was also down a few big time players as well.

Because it ruins the narrative.

In addition to having broadcast rights for nearly every bowl game, ESPN also owns and operates 16 bowl games. 9 of them are G5 vs G5, 2 are P5/P5, and the other 5 are a mix.
Las Vegas - Pac-12, B1G (odd years), SEC (even years)
Texas - Big 12, SEC
Fenway - ACC, American
Birmingham - SEC, American, CUSA
Gasparilla - SEC, American, CUSA
First Responder - Big 12 (odd years), American, CUSA, Sun Belt
Armed Forces - Big 12 (even years), American (even years), CUSA, MW
Bahamas - CUSA, MAC
Hawaii - American, MW, CUSA
Frisco - CUSA, MAC, Sun Belt
Myrtle Beach - American, CUSA, MAC, Sun Belt
Idaho Potato - MW, MAC
Boca Raton - American, CUSA, MAC, Sun Belt
New Mexico - MW, American, CUSA, MAC, Sun Belt
Camellia - CUSA, MAC, Sun Belt
Cure - American, CUSA, Sun Belt
Montgomery (2020 only; replacement for Fenway)

So, on one hand, ESPN is almost solely responsible for the "too many bowl games" argument, while at the same time providing the majority of the G5's bowl opportunities.

Does ABC have the same for any? Since ABC owns ESPN?

ESPN owns ABC.

ESPN owns ABC.

Actually Walt Disney owns both.

ESPN owns ABC.

I don’t think that’s right?

ESPN on ABC - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

“The seeds of its eventual integration with ESPN occurred when ABC acquired a controlling interest in ESPN from Getty Oil in 1984.”

Though Disney owns it all.

This is close to the the correct answer.

Though Disney owns it all.

If we’re talking corporate structure, Disney owns both ESPN and ABC in parallel. The former is no longer a majority-owned subsidiary of the latter, and in fact ESPN now controls what was once ABC Sports.

Which was the actual point of the original question. ABC TV essentially has no sports interest of it’s own, so it wouldn’t own any Bowls separately from ESPN.

And if we get down to nuts and bolts, ABC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Disney, but Disney only owns 80% of ESPN (Hearst owns the rest).

Sorry. Is the longer/I’m not in a rush answer better?

Too be fair, it’s ONLY one of the most iconic lines in cinematic history.

Every thread is a Hawkeye thread to some posters.

Perhaps I had a few too many bourbons following our show last night. Regardless, t'was a hell of a night. I don't have anything personal against Matt. I just think he's all over the place with these opinions and needed to be put in his place.

Link?

The crazy thing about this season is that OU will head into 2021 dreading playing ISU more than TX or anyone else on their schedule.

I always considered this Eastwood's best movie line, but I like his Gran Torino "Get off my lawn" quote better.

But to the thread topic, Mullen is a whiney little snot-nosed cry baby.
