That one guy put up a list of bowls we've been in and NOBODY talks about it. Perhaps like the rest of Cougar fans, I personally don't like it as we don't celebrate bowl "appearances"

Yewts, on the other hand, are very much still patting themselves on the back and blowing kisses to the crowd over their participation award.

You are trying to compare the falling-all-over-yourselves efforts to make it known to the world that you made it to your contracted bowl game (in spite of a pretty embarrassing shelacking). You're throwing the bowl symbol on EVERYTHING, and the rest of college sports is appropriately mocking you for it.
