Looking back...the charts, the graphs, the walls of text. It all makes sense now! So obvious we missed it.

The SEC does seem to mean "more bowl games", only Vandy (at 2-10) didn't get one. However, in the SEC they only play a 8 game conference schedule and 4 cream puffs to at least get a 6-6 record; which gets you a bowl game.

Pretty soon teams will need to play in two bowl games just to fill all the spots...

What's going on? I did I miss something? I have the feeling that I am showing up late for some big reveal.

None are in their own state nor an adjacent state. Save for Maryland, Purdue and maybe Michigan State, all are a fucking plane ride away. That's time and money.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not arguing that the sites need to be changed or rotated or whatever. I understand having the games in Miami instead of Cleveland (for instance) is a no-brainer (although I would rather go to New York City than Birmingham, Alabama, but that might just be me). I just think we need to acknowledge an SEC advantage. That's all.

1. There's no assurance that the weather will be better. Sloppy fields and torrential downpours have occurred on numerous occasions - thinking of the infamous OSU - Tennessee Bowl game when the Vols used illegal cleats or two mud bowls won by Northwestern and Penn State over LSU or the night game in Atlanta when the temp was in the twenties and Iowa pounded a Ga. Tech team that didn't want to leave the warmth of the locker room. Rose Bowl has seen rain and who knows when the San Andreas will split open and dump LA and SF into the Ocean. Amazingly the NFL manages to play important games in December and January in places like Chicago, Buffalo, Cleveland, Boston, Green Bay, Cincinnati, (which gets less snow than Nashville, Charlotte, and Atlanta) Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia.

2. If you haven't lived in the South you are not aware of the deep resentment of most things Yankee. The Civil War is still alive there and the massive migration of Yankees and west coasters into the big cities of the South has not improved the atmosphere.

3. If it's a National Championship then it needs to be National. The games need to be sited by 4 regions and the final game rotated thru 4 four sites, one in DC or New York, one in New Orleans or Dallas, one in LA or SF and one in Chicago or Cleveland. At "...as low as $1105.00, with an average price of $1906.00..." we're not talking about average fans. they can afford to fly from the South and the West to follow their teams just as easily as Midwest fans can fly to the south and West Coast. Fuck the Bowls.

Don't get me wrong, Tug Speedwell is, and always will be the all time champion of trolling.
To pull off what he ( and his alter ego) did on an entire fanbase AND school will never be repeated.

I might say that Arabash might have Tug beat. What Tug did was altruistic and for the good of humanity. That magnificent Tennessee bastard Arabsh had those motherfuckers sending him money.

All of these are good points, but...

There's a reason 90% of the bowl games take place down there. It's where people want to go. The weather is *mostly* nice.

My mother is from Jacksonville, and all my relatives on that side are from Northern Florida or Georgia. I know what they are like.

I believe it is "rotated" though not formally. Isn't it in Indy this year? Also, I believe all this travel and hotel and what have you, prices out the regular guy. Sure, the wealthy can afford it, but are there 40-50,000 extremely wealthy OSU fans? I don't know.

"Fuck the bowls"? :shake:

Can we start a pool on that San Andreas thing? It’s got definite possibilities…..

The South shall rise again. Save yore Dixie cups

Meh, Arabass had a pretty generic and common scam he pulled on a bunch of suckers desperate to clear Joesus's saintly name.
Ol' Tug on the hand managed to get them to hold a rally ( complete with Franco Harris and his Cardboard Joe sidekick) and then blew them up with their own social media, While every fanbase in the country was watching and laughing at them because they were so far in their own bubble they couldn't comprehend what was happening. T'was truly a thing of beauty.
And obviously, you know all of this!

If you think you have to be a Florida fan sock to present as that level of Georgia stupid, you haven’t been following Herschel Walker’s son on social media lately.

Stupid is to most Mutts as scorpions are to stinging things. It’s just their nature.
