Because we’re still writing 2007 on our forged checks …

Then and now

Pizza Bowl 2: Crust Never Sleeps: The Papajohns.com Bowl by the numbers …

  • 32,023 | attendance in 2006
  • 35,528 | attendance in 2007
  • 3 | Birmingham’s previous bowl games (Dixie, Hall of Fame Classic and All-American)
  • 300,000 | payout in dollars
  • 21 | rank among 32 bowls in viewership
  • 1.9 | Nielsen rating for 2007 game
  • 1.6 | Nielsen rating for the 2007 Independence Bowl (Alabama over Colorado)
  • 15-20 | average wait time in minutes for pizza at halftime at Legion Field

By the way, who won that game? Who played in that game?
