Now let's extrapolate that reasoning out to maybe another shit bowl tie-in that the B1G has. Which one could it be?

 

[SteveGarvey1]

An idiotic idea to begin with, much like the Pinstripe Bowl (though I'm glad we won it).

Those northern state bowl games are not only unappealing for fans, they are downright dangerous for players. Still remember players from both teams skating around on that frozen field at the Pinstripe Bowl, more concerning with falling down than actually getting tackled.

if we get an invite to the Pinstripe...turn it down.

 

[MelroseHawkins]

Yes, let's play on a frozen azz baseball turf the last game of the year so we can get injured. Brilliant idea!

Uppity Cubs management insisting on a #3 or #4 B1G team play in their crap/cold/frozen bowl = laughable.

It would probably have a decent draw if they could be guaranteed Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, MSU, Indiana, Purdue or Michigan. Those teams all have a lot of fans in the Chicago area and are close enough for a day drive for most of those fan bases. But if they ended up with Maryland versus Boston College or something there would be like 900 people there.

Just think how uppity they'd be if they'd won more than one World Series in the last 110 years.

Get the Alamo Bowl back and I'll quit bitching about the Pinstripe Bowl.

I feel like this would be the equal and opposite equivalent to the Death Valley Nuclear Power Plant Volcano Bowl held every August 1st in Tempe, AZ. Also a fabulous idea.

Even high-priest Delaney will all his wizardry acumen couldn't save this pooch.

Big Ten needs to lock down the Las Vegas Bowl. In a couple years when that new stadium is built it’s going to be a premier bowl destination.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, no less.

And that's the key to all this. It's a baseball field. Poor football sight lines. More important, no Lambeau Field style underground heating coils. That's why players were slipping and sliding all over the field. It turned into a sheet of ice. That was an even bigger deal than the 25 degree temperature.

And an NFL destination too. Now that the NHL has broken the ice, no pun intended, for a big four professional team in Sin City I can see the other three sports quickly following suit.

No pun intended.

Of course! Long underwear and flannel with the sponsors name stitched mandatory equipment to be worn by all.

Yes, it may be bad weather, but just think about having that advantage when playing an SEC or ACC team in December! Just once, I would really enjoy playing in Wrigley Field.
