Potential scene from this years Humanitarian Bowl
We can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t want to spend bowl season watching their favorite college football team play in a low tier meaningless bowl game in sub freezing temperatures, but apparently the lure of advanced hypothermia and the chance to play on a blue field isn’t quite enough of an enticement for the good fans of the Nevada Wolfpack and the Maryland Terrapins. As of last week, the two teams who will meet up in this years Humanitarian Bowl have accounted for 24 tickets sold. 24.
As of Monday afternoon the University of Maryland says it’s sold about 16 tickets to the game. The University of Nevada says it’s sold 8 so far.
We commend Maryland for their enthusiasm by doubling up their opponent’s ticket count.
In fairness, the bowl relies heavily on local support of caribou and drunken vagrants (which is what we assume the population of Boise is made up of, we don’t get out much) to fill the seats for the game.

we can only hope all these unsold tickets this bowl season will help eliminate some of these horse shit bowl games.

[...] Speaking of Boise, apparently no one wants to come and see our little Bowl football game between turtles and vandalizers. Well, that’s not technically true. Twenty-four people want to see it. [...]
