The Ruckus Bowl

12/1/2008 6:37:01 AM

Who says that such a bowl would have to host an ACC team, anyway? It could be like SEC vs. Big East or something, with At-Larges from the ACC (how rare they are) every once in a while.

I can't believe there is actually a discussion taking place here.

Why is there no bowl game hosted in Carter-Finley?

Because it's in Raleigh.

Im sure people will want to travel to see their team play here in Raleigh and enjoy glenwood south at night

"not really a bad thing. Although it is pretty awesome to watch someone like Queen play to a packed Wembley Stadium (1986 show), I really hate that kind of environment to see a band so I am very glad that the best bands around today are not playing those kinds of shows. "

I don't think it's really a function of "are not" but rather "can not."

There's just no one that good around anymore that appeals to such a wide audience.

i wonder how many of the people who are for a bowl game in raleigh were the same people who thought that minor league football league would catch on

12/1/2008 11:58:46 AM

Arena football, NFL Europe, Canada?

Uh... they've played in the Humanitarian Bowl once in the past 5 years.

^^i'm talking about that league that somebody was trying to start a couple years ago...the premise was that players who played ball locally but werent good enough for the NFL could play for a local "triangle area" team, and they'd have other similar teams around the country...failed miserably because nobody cares about football except for college and NFL

12/1/2008 1:23:37 PM

Invite Duke and ECU to come play in the Raleigh Takeout Bowl.

Bring back the Carolina Cobras!

fuck you too buddy

i grew up in gville as a State fan and dealt with the dumbass ecu fans. i hate ecu and want nothing to do with them. playing ecu helps them and does nothing for us and i dont want to do anything that helps them. i like playing unc so we can beat them, i would prefer for ecu to just go away.

so once again, fuck you buddy.

but this discussion is for other threads so i'll drop it here

"the only thing that should be going back and forth b/w ecu and state is pleas from ecu to play us and laughing denials from us"

We've played them in four of the last five seasons and have five or six games scheduled against them in the future. What the flip are you talking about?

There is a barrel. I've seen it chillin in the SG office.

12/1/2008 6:48:24 PM

^^i thought it was clear i was talking about my wishes. just b/c play/played/will play them doesnt mean i cant wish we would stop playing them. ever. (maybe once every 10 years i could accept)

besides, who do you think is responsible for us playing them that often or at all?? that jackass lee fowler and the state legislature

[Edited on December 1, 2008 at 7:06 PM. Reason : and why did the legislature care? b/c ecu hassled them]

12/1/2008 7:06:03 PM

I honestly have no idea what that babble is you just posted.

It's pretty dumb to say that we laughingly deny ECU the opportunity to play our football team when it's an almost annual contest, that's all.

12/1/2008 7:20:29 PM

you need to work on your reading comprehension and your history

12/1/2008 7:23:15 PM

AIGHT

12/1/2008 7:24:08 PM

haha

can we just delete this thread? worst proposition ever.

12/1/2008 7:25:06 PM

Lets play the bowl game on the intramural fields

12/2/2008 11:43:19 AM

Why is there no lighthouse in Arizona?

12/2/2008 12:19:01 PM

i'm assuming this was a joke thread, right?

i'm not reading it.

Fucking Dayton Ohio hosts NCAA tournament games more regularly than we do, think they're gonna host a bowl?

^^And all the fans bitched about how there was absolutely nothing to do in Raleigh, at least around the arena...and you cant leave and come back without paying another $10 to park.

^^ Aviation Bowl (Dayton OH)
9 Dec 1961 Western Michigan vs New Mexico

Boise and Shreveport aren't any better than Raleigh really. Charlotte is a little better based on the actual location of the stadium being close to stuff downtown but not tons. I don't think we need a bowl in Raleigh, just pointing that out.

Instead of a bowl game @ CFS, I feel that the RBC Center should be the home of some holiday basketball tournament.

12/4/2008 8:35:20 AM

^^Bring back the Dixie Classic?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dixie_Classic_(basketball_tournament)
Except rather than a tournament because that doesnt work really, make it simply each Big Four school vs four interesting opponents.

Too bad itll never happen.

Why is there no bowl game in Wilmington?
