Toilet Bowl

[charlie sherrill]

The bowls and playoffs will soon be here. A lot of the teams won't be going to either one. Therefore I am proposing the "Toilet Bowl"! Take the bottom two teams, which right now are Kent State at 0-11 and my own Southern Miss which is at 1-10. Schedule these two teams to play in a neutral site somewhere between Kent, Ohio and Hattiesburg,Ms. and hope somebody shows up. A large 100,000 capacity stadium bowl will not be necessary as nobody came to the games this year anyway. Any decent high school stadium would probably be OK. The fans should be encouraged to bring as many rolls of toilet paper as they can carry. It will be used whenever a team or official does something you like, or don't like. The TP launchings will not penalize a team nor will the field be cleared from such. The team and the bands will play through it. This game will give each of these teams a chance to get some small redemption. There will be no overtime so all efforts may come to nothing. Cheap beer should be available iced down in galvanized trash cans and sponsorships will be encouraged by septic tank pumping companies and the makers of poor quality TP. Other ideas are encouraged.

Could even sell T-shirts imprinted with "If you ain't been in the Toilet Bowl, you ain't ****."

So, Texas High School football, then?

 

[Rustyt1953]

It would be flush with fans.

The Toilet Bowl could help with recruiting. The winning coach could tell prospective players that his team refused to tank and they ended the season on a roll.

Toilet Bowl has competition

Tidy Bowl will be held in Flushing New York.

Coaches will submit player roles on Charmin.

Hopeful it will be a clean game and not a wipe out.

My Oklahoma State Cowboys have went to 18 straight bowl games and played for the Big 12 championship last year and then beat Texas A&M in their bowl game. This year they're in last place in the conference with zero wins. It will likely be the same next year because donors are not giving much money to pay players. They've given hundreds of millions in the last several years for facilities, buildings, and scholarships but very little to player salaries. If I was very rich I wouldn't give a dime of money to pay players either. I liked the old days where players played their hearts out for the fans, team mates, coaches, and for school pride. I've LOVED college football for 45 years and I've watched very little this year and I read that analysts are predicting next year it will cost 20 million dollars to buy a top 10 college football team and 5 million for a basketball team.

So, Texas High School football, then?

I think any of the top 10 High School teams here could take either one of those two.

If it goes to OT can we call it elongated?

Late FIL had the same idea long ago but didn't go into such detail.

I can picture the sponsor list: RidX and the various cleaning companies. Plus, of course, the folks who make the TP.

BTW, channel surfing revealed a lot of Ivy League games. Briefly watched a few and saw some decent football. I do think the two teams and officials outnumbered the audience. Couldn't call it a crowd. Frequent mention of coach tenure, apparently win or get fired not a thing.

It's hard to find another volunteer.

 

[robvious]

there is money to be made on that concept... getting it approved will be the challenge.. I like it... and I am not a big sportsball fan..

 

[Skeet 028]

Heck might even to get U tube to "stream" it

Looks like it might be more than that. Michigan just offered a high school QB prospect 10 million to play for them next year.

 

[Wrench6]

I'm sure each team will do their duty.

Wrong!
It was 10.5 million. They poached the kid from LSU-we were only offering 1.5 per year or 6 million.

that's just wrong. Paying college players money to ply sports...What ever happened to academics?

 

[Onomea]

I get the unhappiness over college football players becoming paid mercenaries, but I also think it just plain wrong that if coaches make millions and schools make tens of millions (hundreds of millions?) off the games, as was true for a long time, that the players not be compensated.

They aren't there to play school

Agree 100%

Players bringing a whole lotta money in.

Look at some of the TV deals, FOX, CBS, ESPN.

They gotta make something off it. And I don't wanna hear "scholarship."
