I don’t know about you, but I’m sort of amused by a fan of a Big Ten school telling us Sun Belt denizens to suck it up and play some cold weather bowl games, seeing as it’s the Big Ten which pushed the NCAA to implement a uniform start date for baseball because… wait for it… its teams were at a disadvantage early in the year due to cold weather.

Quote Of The Day

“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

You’ve never seen such a barrage of fat and pail as when Wisconsin plays in the Outback Bowl.
Those folks plan their year’s vacations around going to a warm-weather bowl.
It’s moronic to even talk about moving them. The fat and pail would be livid.

Yes, I know it’s pale. Hungover. Saturday morning. Sorry.

Is there a cold weather bowl game? One that has any attendance and pays any money? I can’t think of any. Closest to it might be Music City and we have played there.

Yes and no. It’s the Humanitarian Bowl.

Does that mean ‘yes’ it is played in cold weather, but ‘no’ it has no real attendance or monetary payout?

This year there will be one at Yankee Stadium. Cold enough for you?

For an 8 million payout we’ll send the #3 SEC team to Alaska for a bowl game.

Because baseball and football have the same weather concerns?

Wasn’t the biggest news story in sports this week about the Superbowl being played in cold weather up north, and how it is traditionally played in warm weather cities?
60 degrees in Tampa or 10 degrees in Chicago? Ummm…..
The Tangerine Bowl or Citrus Bowl could be renamed the Cheddar Bowl.

Personally, I like the hand drawn map. Because yes, I actually do believe it

They want us to come to their place to play in the cold? I don’t see Big 10 teams lining up to come play at our place in August…

Good point DawgBiscuit. I think this is a bigger deal to the fans than the players. If you polled the Big 10 players I bet most of them love the bowls being in warm weather areas.
