Bowl Games in Boise

Boise Will Be Boise

LOL

I earlier complained about crappy bowl games in general, and the Humanitarian Bowl in particular.  That's where the Terps played Nevada yesterday, and it was actually a fun game to watch.  It was also the last time the ACC and this bowl will have an affiliation.  Last week it was initially reported that Maryland had sold just 8 tickets to the game in Boise. It was erroneous, they had sold 800+ tickets, but everyone was able to believe the earlier number.  And why not?  The game is played on a blue field, egad, and the temperature was a balmy 30º.  The game announcer told us that the Nevada players amused themselves on Monday with a snowball fight, while the Terps went bowling. All the funnier, since Maryland's coach Friedgen suspended seven players for much of the game for curfew violations.  When a reporter asked running back DaRel Scott what he found to do in Boise that caused him to break curfew, he remained silent.  So the "Fridge" was in a pretty bad mood to begin with.  When he left his room for the game bus, the hotel elevator was broken, so he had to walk down 19 flights of stairs.  Fridge weighs about 500 pounds.   Good game Nevada.  Anything called the Humanitarian Bowl deserves to be scrapped though.  Today there's something called the Gaylord Hotel Bowl.  I'm still laughing.
