As we delve into the excitement surrounding these games, the following quotes capture the essence of why bowl games remain an anticipated highlight in American sports culture.

"I like the fact that we can go to a bowl game and reward them (the scout team players) as well as the starters."
"Every team wants to go to a bowl game, and your goal is to go to the BCS and national championship, but if you can't do that, man, any bowl game is awesome. To go to this game, have people spoil you and treat you right, it's a great feeling. It's the icing on the cake."
"An old poet said, 'It's better to go to the Rose Bowl and lose than not to have gotten there at all.' What I want to do is keep going out there (to Pasadena) until we win one of those things."
"I think one of the things that's important in maintaining the tradition of college football is making sure every game of the regular season means something, and the bowl tradition is something we should never give up.

I still can't believe I won. My sons put me in front of the computer almost a dozen times to register, and luck took care of the rest."
"It's a long season, and it gets even longer on the next level (NFL), so I think the bowl system is a good thing. Playoffs might work, but not like bowl games. I hope they stick with the bowls in college."
"The bowl games are only supposed to be a fun reward."
"I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay, and I don't ever want to finish second again. There is a second place bowl game, but it is a game for losers played by losers. It is and always has been an American zeal to be first in anything we do, and to win, and to win, and to win."
"Being a bowl team is a wonderful achievement for so many teams, and if you look at the history of the University of South Carolina, a bowl game is pretty good."

"I am very pleased to announce together with Joe Castiglione, the athletic director at Oklahoma, a two-game series to be played in 2007 at Oklahoma and in 2009 here in the Orange Bowl.

As I've told our players, half of our young men haven't played in a bowl game either, and of the half who haven't, there are an awful lot of them who are playing and starting.

Bowl Game Challenges and Expectations

"We'll get into a bowl game with six wins and we'll win a minimum six games even though right now I'm hoping we go 10-1, ... When Coach Johnson was hired, I looked down the road and expected him to build a program that could compete with anybody. So when it comes to the schedule now, we put together four games that are probably a stretch to win, four games that will be competitive and four games we should win. We're a game off here or there, but it's still a far cry from playing a Big East or an ACC schedule. That won't happen."
"If we're going to get at least six wins to get bowl-eligible, then you know you've got to win this one. Our backs were against the wall. But I had a pretty good feeling we were going to play hard, and I thought our defense could stone them because of their inexperience up front."

We competed and had some great battles. We took some hits and we won some. The players coming in really feel like they're joining a program that has a chance to go to a BCS bowl and win a national championship."
"Our recruiting was almost over by the time we played our bowl game. Everything's so much faster now and it's amazing how quick things go."
"We've built a strong following over the years, making 12 straight bowl games. And we've always traveled well here we brought a lot of people to the Sugar Bowl both the other times we were here."
"This is not a one-year stint; they laid the foundation for our football program to move forward. My biggest disappointment is for those guys because I wanted them to complete the experience, to be a bowl champion, not just a bowl participant. It's something that hasn't been done around here for 27 years. We'll be back."
"It's not really a make or break game, but we're going into this game with the mindset that we need to win in order to secure a bowl. We just want to get back on the track of winning."

As college football teams gear up for their respective bowl games, hopes run high with visions of victory parades and championship trophies. This section delves into the specific aspirations and goals that drive these athletes and coaches as they strive to achieve glory on one of the biggest stages in collegiate sports.

"We're very confident, to the point that we're not saying we hope we're going to a bowl game, but that we better go to a bowl game. Last year, we only half said it."

"We want to compete for conference championships and go to bowl games."
"I want to go to a bowl. They want to go to a bowl. They can do the math. But we're not saying we just want to win two out of the four. We want to win all four of them. You start with your next game, which is the South Carolina game, so that's the game we're going to try to win first."
"It's all about Bowling Green and Toledo this weekend. It's important that we return home in a good position. These Mid-American Conference games are very crucial."
"I just want to win the Sugar Bowl. It's the national championship game. I guess there could be a split, but me personally, I don't really want to get involved in all of that. That's something for the fans and media to get involved with."
"It's the Coliseum - we know that. We just try to treat it like another game. If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best."
"Our staff had an unbelievable effort. We searched under every rock out there and found some real good players late. We went against some really good schools and we didn't shy away. We competed and had some great battles. We took some hits and we won some. The players coming in really feel like they're joining a program that has a chance to go to a BCS bowl and win a national championship."

"I still think we haven't put it all together, and maybe that's good that we're still good enough to win. I told the guys, our 2000 national title team -- we won 12-7 here, and we went on to win out and play in the Orange Bowl. So a lot of things are setting up similarly."

"Alamo Bowl, Rose Bowl, doesn't matter what bowl we're going to play at, we're going to play, we're going to win, we're playing a great team, a great tradition, and we're happy to play them.

"You know I'm not going off that way. When we do it, we'll do it in a trash-talking manner with everyone else looking in. But to us, we already know it's, 'Here we go again.' Like last year or at the Senior Bowl five years ago. It's going to raise the level of our play."
"I run a clean program. I've been to six bowl games in seven years. I think we're going in the right direction. It isn't easy. Sure, I've had some disappointments, but we've had some great moments, too."
"I haven't had a chance to win a game yet, but I want it. I'm hoping it will be in the Sugar Bowl. That would be awesome."
"At the end of the day, I'm very convinced that you're going to be judged on how you are as a husband and as a father and not on how many bowl games we won,"
"This Rose Bowl had it all - the hype of two undefeated teams, major media market representation and a game down to the wire. It's everything a network could hope for in a big game."
"I know the BCS games get a lot more attention throughout the bowl season. You usually get a lot more people talking about your game."
"I'm not going to sit here and lobby for any bowl. We just got whipped. They outplayed us in every part of the game."
"It does feel a little big like part two of the SEC Championship, but once we get there it will be nothing but Sugar Bowl talk."
"On the one hand, I love the bowl system. I love the opportunity to be in bowls, and it's a great thing. I would like to keep the bowl system and still have a playoff. That allows team to get in there (a championship game) that normally wouldn't get in."
"It's kind of funny. Take away two or three plays for each team, we both could be in the Rose Bowl. But it didn't work out that way. We're meant to be here, so we have to make the most of it."
