Organize the Boy Scouts!

I would help with that, but I'll be out of town. If they offer us discounted tickets, I'll let my Pack know.

Groups of 20 or more can get tickets 50% off. That just $15 for the cheapest seats.

good to know

I don't agree with that. There were no complaints that I know of about the crowd size in 2008 (41,000) and certainly not in 1990 when it was over 48,000. I've been to every Independence Bowl (EXCEPT 2012) and have been a member of the Independence Bowl Foundation for years and I never felt that was the case, and if we get the crowd we should have, it won't be a problem!

If it is true the Indy Bowl is in trouble wouldn’t it be ironic that Tech played in the first one & the last one!

That might be poetic, but irony is a situation wherein what actually happens is the opposite of what was expected.

THIS! Almost everyone uses the word "ironic" to mean "coincidental" nowadays... :P

Well, irregsrdless of that fact...........

Did anyone else hear Doug Collins say that in the judiciary hearing? I wanted to jump through the tv and poke him in the eye.

We didn't play in the first one, 1976, that was McNeese vs Tulsa...as I recall.

Buddy I recall it the same way. Tulsa vs. McNeese. Tulsa was a heavy favorite, but McNeese pulled the upset 20-16. The I-Bowl originally invited Rutgers, but they said we will think about it and call you back tomorrow, so Tulsa stepped in.

Now McNeese had 16 players unable to play in the game, so they were big underdogs. Ten were ruled ineligible for being red-shirt seniors, against NCAA rules at the time. Six others for breaking team rules!! Imagine that, suspending players for the first ever I-Bowl, such a big game!! The rules they broke? Having a girl in their dorm room, that was a big no-no at McNeese back then. But alas, the Cowpokes pulled it together and won the game. At least that is how I recall it, but I was only 8 years old at the time so my memory may be a little off.

You can't corrupt the corrupted. That's the irony.

Did Epstein further deeply corrupt the already corrupted Slick Willy Clinton?

[johnnylightnin]

I blame Alanis Morisette.
