Everyone gets a participation trophy.

Huntington should host the "Toilet Bowl" and invite 2 worst teams in NCAA FBS to settle who is REALLY the worst team each year.  Hillbilly Hotdogs can be the sponsor.  Every time someone makes a blunder the crowd can chant something to that song from the Benny Hill show.  the winning trophy will read "Not The Worst Team In College Football 20xx." and can use it as a springboard to spring practice.

At least you would have to accomplish something to be in that game. This needs to stop. Way too many bowl games.

UCF comes to mind for this game?!?!?

Hey, sounds like you are on to something!  This appears to be made to order for a breakout national broadcast on ASN!!  They could have former Knights coach, and academic superstar, George O'Leary, as the color analyst.  I nominate our beloved ex-broadcaster, Sonny Randle, to do the play-by-play!!  Should see the Nielsen ratings shoot through the roof!!

As sad as this sounds, I think that's a pretty cool idea. And I would bet people would actually tune in to watch it.

This could be the "Bizarro Bowl", directly opposite of the Natl. Championship.

6 people in the stands. three go out at half for a beer and real food and  no one ever hears from them again  ;D

Hahaha that's great!

I bet people would watch it if marketed correctly.  The network could show blunder clips of college football throughout year.  I mean, if sports is really suppose to be entertainment I see no reason why not.

Quite a few years back the Reds mgt stated that fans shouldn't get all worked up when team loses as the entertainment experience is part of the fun.  My response to that was "fine with me....than don't walk Barry Bonds....instead throw him BP gopher balls and let us see how far he can hit it.  Or let a fan from stands run out a home run once a player hits it....full beer in hand, and heckling the opposing pitcher the entire way." 

Want to make soccer fun to watch?  At random times during game put 2 balls in play and don't enforce offsides during that time.

This isn't a shot at MU, but any of those would likely have been more entertaining than MU's snoozefest bowl vs UConn  8)
