This Article Seems To Give Alot Of Credit To JJ

Many people don't know that Chizik majored in economics.  His senior thesis was written on the economics of Bowl payouts.  See, the Independence Bowl pays out $1.1 million.  The Outback pays $3 million.  He knew the extra $13.04 per napkin pack would pay off huge in the end.  

That will buy a lot more napkins for next year.

If it was just feeding the douchebags like me and Finebaum and Scarbinsky and Doucheberry, I wouldn't care.  But the folks from ESPN eat there and so do the visiting bowl officials.   

The fact that you did not include ESPN as douches or bags that carry such makes baby Tebow cry.

I'm thinking that puts logos on the cups next year as well, which is a big sell to BCS officials.

Kaos will still have to suffer through Vienna sausages and Triscuits at least one more season.

JJ used the Erin Brockovich strategy to land the Outback Bowl bid.

They had logos on the cups until this year.  Or last, I can't remember.  You got souvenir cups at the drink counter though.  They might have been last year's or in the years where there was a weekly promotion, last week's, leftovers, but they were still souvenir cups. 

Used to have programs stacked up, too.  Not any more.  Don't think I got one at all this year.

There was still all you could eat,drink, and steal in programs, in the scholarship donation level this year. 

The administration must have realized that the media is for shit and the fat cats who give lots of money need the pampering instead.

You mean provide it to the people who actually probably paid for it? No shit. That makes too much effing sense.

It's not just media.  If it was, they could serve oatmeal and warm Dr. Thunder if they want.  Watching Bob Davie root around looking for a decent cookie was actually amusing.

That skimpy ass buffet is where the bowl people and other interested observers also dine, though.   It's where Lord Jay and his sniveling entourage sometimes appears, too.

I'll bet you dollars to doughnuts that bowl people and other interested people give less than two shit about what kind of hot dogs they get at a stadium.

It's not about hot dogs. 

And you'd be wrong in your bet.  People remember how they're treated.

One of the reasons we didn't make the MNC game in '04 was our switch from Zeigler to Bryan hot dogs. We haven't recovered.

[Saniflush]

  People remember how they're treated.

Sure they do.  I said nothing about how they are treated.

Sons of bitches...now it all makes sense.

We could be in the championship this year if they would get the dogs from here.

Bob needs medicine and sleep - not cookies.

LMAO at the Dr Thunder and Oatmeal comment.

You serve me shitty food and skimp on the drinks?  I'm not going to look forward to coming back to your house.

Educate me here. 

Is ESPN, or bowl officials, or other important people ONLY fed at the actual football game?   I guess I was under the impression that either Auburn hosted important people (in other words, not media writers, and no offense, but low on the totem pole writers) to dinners, or provided better accomadations where it's better suited?

Seems to me, if I'm working a football game, I'm not there to be completely pampered.  Especially if the host school might be doing the actual pampering elsewhere.

Since you've never been there I guess you don't know. 

Maybe they are eating other places, but you wouldn't know it from the way they attack the chow. 

The "low totem pole" people you refer to include all of the TV people in the state and Finebaum and the ESPN crew, the CBS crew, Rod and Stan and all the newspaper writers and photographers (which in some years includes CBSSportsline, SI, ESPN The Mag and others.   

The back two rows of the box are reserved for visiting "dignitaries" and yeah, they hit the food just as hard as anybody else. 

Regardless of who's in there, it doesn't change the fact that things used to be a lot better and now they're kind of skimpy.  When you slide from Kenny Rogers Roasters and sweet potato casserole to "mystery stew" or "lunchroom taco night" it's noticeable.

[Godfather]

"lunchroom taco night" it's noticeable.

Was I the only one that liked "lunchroom taco day"?


btw what grade school did you go to? Irondale Tech? St. Rose of Trade Schools?
