It's bowl season. The crescendo of the college football season is right here. The reward for mediocre to excellent football for far too many teams is a bowl game. So, why not one more..."The Redemption Bowl"
The tag line? In a deep ominous voice..."One team is going to win!"
Don't bother to try and talk me out of this and spare me the subsitute title "The Toilet Bowl". But, no team will make a mockery of itself and agree to compete in such a titled bowl game and I am certain that schools would send their team (complete with typical financial incentives to the team and the conference) for a shot at "Redemption".
For the inaugural game you need the the two teams with the longest losing streaks in the nation. But, the teams must come from the twelve FBS conferences (also known as Division 1A). Each season there after you do the same. You cannot tell me that fans and students would not travel to take part in something that, otherwise, would be completely out of reach.
The game would begin the bowl season become the event "where the last shall be first."
Is it a reward for ineptitude? You could look at it that way, but I have never found a team that actually tried to lose and college football is way too expensive for a school to roll a team out there as a joke. No, I maintain that players and coaches want to win.
The Redemption Bowl guarantees that one team will leave the field victorious for the first time in who knows how long.
It has been suggested that no one will watch. Really? This is the country that watches Survivor, Jersey Shore, The Bachelor, and reruns of America's Funniest Home Videos. No, they'll watch.
Here's where you come in. Mind you, I have a list of potential sponsors that are a perfect fit with the idea of redemption, being an underdog, comebacks, etc. But, I want to hear from you. Head to our Facebook page and post your suggestions and include where you think the game ought to be played. The venue needs to be a good one; a place where folks would want to travel with a stadium that seats between 45,000 and 65,000.
Let it flow, friends.
