Disagree. I'll take the new turf over grass 7days a week, and twice on Sunday. Especially after that hot garbage the all holy yankees rolled out Thursday.

I'll play 100 times out of 100 on the new turf they have now than grass. I remember getting the new turf in college between freshman and sophomore year and seeing how much better it was. Calling what was in Yankee stadium "grass" is an insult to all grass football fields everywhere.

Grimmer compared watching the game to the road runner. Legs are moving but they aren't going anywhere.

I think you're 100% correct. It was ridiculous to expect college football to be played on that surface....especially when the whole story wrapped around this bowl is how much $$ is thrown around... But I don't know what you can do to make a baseball field a serviceable football field between...

If this is true, someone should call her out on it or call out her kid for lying. She's taken this to the news stations in town now too.

This is terribly false, or is it just some odd way to put down a guy (and stereotype a ton of people....who may have even agreed with you)....all while sounding like a vacation snob. Sorry, that just sounds odd.

I'll bite, what's DCI.....I have no clue what the eff she's talking about. I do find it a bit weird she thinks the band should get a week's worth of 5star treatment by the bowl. Does she think the U is paying for it? EDIT: She is now onto tagging the news stations in town....

I'm not 100% sure about that. When I was a college kid, if I was getting out of MN I wanted warm weather, bathing suits and drinks served with little umbrellas. Hell, I have two plane tickets I have to use by April. The wife brought up going to NYC....I'm not dropping 2-3 grand to go from...

The Fastenal "Nuts and Bowlts, you got Screwed" Bowl.

I know we "could" stay the weekend.....but as some have put out there.....charters out of here for the game are running $1,500 a person and gets us out on NYE. Stay over the weekend, who knows.... Personally, if I'm spending that kind of dime in December, it isn't to go to NY. I'm not sure...

Every forum everywhere's got'em. It's not that big a deal.... I do have a few questions...points. 1) The cold: Yes, we understand that NYC is not as cold as greater Minnesota at that time of year....but (I'm not speaking for everyone) if I'm going to drop 2-3 grand to get the hell out of...

Can that game get flexed? If so, that's even cooler.

I think it's cool. I don't remember an NFL franchise trying to pull something like this off, let alone making it happen (which I think they will). If I still had my season tix I could leave my purple eight-four in the closet for one game and figure it out.

Was discussed a bit, but I'm not 100% sure either. It's become apparent that the Pinstripe holds a lot more clout in the ACC vs. B1G, but I think a lot of it has to do with their other bowl tie-ins. This bowl is considered a "First Tier" bowl for the ACC and for teams clustered around it, if...

Link to the committee video?

It's all a sales pitch, I think it's what we all know and expect. What are they really supposed to say "I know we all wanted a football field someplace warm, but this is what you get". The bowl has been played like 11 times....honestly, how many times has anyone really heard of a fan base...

I think there's a few factors in play. Ya, the weather isn't great. I have two Sun Country flight vouchers I need to use by April. The wife brought up NYC or Nashville over Christmas (before even talking bowls) and I said no way. If there isn't warm weather, a pool and umbrella drinks...

MMMkkkkkay

I don't necessarliy disagree. I think they hate the location....if this bowl was picked up and dropped in Florida or California there would be more excitement. If we're going to go off records to determine who gets a better bowl, then it has to be consistent. There's been a lot of years the...

I don't remember that quote, but I remember a couple years (maybe in a row) we thought the Alamo Bowl was a shoe in and the Gophs got jumped. I remember one of those Sun Bowl years, the Gophs were tied with 3 or 4 other teams at 9-3 and got the bottom bowl. Might have been the Joey Harrington...
