The Ice Bowl!

Oh I have seen snow...unfortunately I saw about 20 inches in one weekend here in the C-Bus...it was nuts.

As far as the Ice Bowl I still think it is a bit unrealistic that teams would want to participate in it.

Ohio State didn't play in that kind of weather all year....and didn't practice in it either. In 2006 that would have been a major disadvantage for the Buckeyes who threw the ball a lot with Troy Smith and company.

Probably the best thing about playing the bowls in the South is that the weather doesn't factor in. With the weather out of the picture the best team often wins.

Remember, bigtenboy, this game isn't about home-field advantage and who plays in what weather.  In creating the idea for this game I'm not arguing about who would win and what conferences are afraid to play in the cold.  It's simply about creating a NEW kind of bowl game.  Playing a game up north.  Consider it kind of like "polar bear."  You know.....it's cold as a witch's teet so you and your friends go jump in the lake.....just to score one on Mother Nature.  As big as high-school football is regardless of the temperature or barometric pressure, I think this game could be fun. 

As for who would attend........how about people up north who can't afford to fly to the prestigeous south every year for a game?  Somebody made a comment that if anybody said they would go to a game like the Ice Bowl they are flat out lying.  I'm saying, right now, that the guy who made this comment is naive to the dedication of football fans up north or just flat out dumb.  I can't recall the year.....but I remember going to the state championship game to watch Mogadore at Paul Brown Tiger Stadium.  A lot of people had umbrellas but not because it was raining.  Every five minutes or so you had to shake a few inches of SNOW off of your umbrella.  Guess what, Skeezik, that stadium was packed solid.  Like I said in a previous post, the only person who makes a comment like that is the one who has never personally seen snow and is basing his opinions only off what his friends have told him.  It's not bad to trust your friends but at some point you've got to have the stones to start forming your own opinions AND break away from the same old routine day in and day out.

Try something new.  Take a chance.  The Ice Bowl.....those who are afraid need not accept the invitation!!!

In all due respect Hetuck1, the ONLY way that people from up there would attend such a bowl would be if the team they followed were in it. And even then it would have to be nearby. I suggested that it be done as a "playoff only home game" because of that very reason.

It isn't a matter of me having a "candy rear", it is a matter of whether or not it's worth the trip. A regular old bowl game ? not going. A BCS bowl game? only going if the weather is above 32 F. And if you were to actually have the game in the frozen north, maybe "ice bowl " would be too off-putting for warmbloods like myself. Try something like the " Christmas Conditions Bowl" or "Parkapalooza bowl" or even a "F#$@ Florida " bowl.

But ...uhhh...good luck with that, cool breeze.
