Heads up: Bowl us. Over.

Embrace our bowl game. Embrace it! (shakes fist)

The second Papajohns.com Bowl, featuring a semi-Top-25 matchup with No. 22 Cincinnati against Southern Miss, is live today at Legion Field and ESPN2. Does Birmingham care? Should it care? Even the CEO of Papa John’s said he’d rather move the game to Louisville. Louisville?! Don’t sweat it: Mayor Langford’s new dome will show him. (shakes fist)

      I miss the days when it seemed bowl games had a tie to the town/state where they were played. Too many dot coms today. Making it to a bowl game used to mean something, right?

      You hit upon a big problem with the name: no tie to Birmingham. Ask even the diehard football fans out there, and I bet most have no idea where the pizza bowl is played.

      Heck, you can’t even say the teams are in it for the money. Our bowl pays the lowest out of the 32 games.
