Why Not a Bowl in Little Rock?

[PonderinHog]

If Rick was heading it up, we'd have to call it the Sunshine and Rainbows Bowl.

Nutt could lead the parade!

The Bimbo Eruption Bowl.  Halftime entertainment provided by Gennifer Flowers, Paula Corbin Jones and a host of others.  Security provided by the Arkansas State Police Governor's Detail.

The I Did Not Inhale Bowl.  Vendors sell fatties.  Fans hang around for 30 minutes after game doing nothing.  Food in concessions sell out by middle of 2nd quarter.

Yes...sad but true...

I'd rather run naked down Asher with a pound of crack chained to my neck than get anywhere near a US/Mexico border city.

[LR Hog]

Just call it the Bazzel Bowl.

[cvlunrest]

real simple, I've lived in central arkansas for 40 years. The LR "city fathers" don't have the ambition or the brains to pull off something like that. Ask Fred Smith of FEDEx fame. The NLR mayor could do it in a hearbeat. But LR??
Hee hee, dats funny

[BartlettTNHOG]

The funniest thing about some of the responses on here is the fact that people that live in the LR area think they have it bad. Ever been to Memphis? It is the dump of all dumps! Beale St has become full of crime, and is a joke, the Liberty bowl is a block away from some of the worst crime in the US. Too bad FedEx ended up in memfrica, it could have been in NLR, and War Memorial would have had a bowl game. Oh well.

No reason not to have one.  I propose a bowl in every town and a chicken in every pot and a good five cent cigar...

[redeye]

Little Rock should have a bowl game.

[secfan30]

If it had a SEC Team every year I could see it being successful. What would it be called....Tyson Chicken Bowl, Riceland Bowl, Wal Mart Bowl?

[secfan30]

I'd rather run naked down Asher with a pound of crack chained to my neck than get anywhere near a US/Mexico border city.

Well there would be many happy endings with this

Rollback Bowl sponsored by Wal-Mart
INS bowl, sponsored by (insert Mexican Restaurant name here)
AQ Chicken Bowl (but only for non-AQ schools...see what I did there)
Let's Move the State Capital to NWA Bowl
Pinnacle Pimps Bowl (ASU automatically will qualify each year regardless of record)
Tyson/Hunt Bowl (all teams receive an 18-wheeler of chicken fingers)

[Sir Oinksalot]

There are bowls in Albuquerque, Boise, Birmingham, Mobile, El Paso, and Shreveport.  Little Rock's hosted a couple of very minor "bowl" games back in the 40s and 50s, but if these cities can do it, why not Little Rock?


Pros:
*It's in the South, where football is king
*It's centrally located in the country
*People in Arkansas support athletics
*The weather's not usually too bad here the week after Christmas
*We have some big corporations who are not already bowl sponsors

Thing is, you need a visionary AND an organizer, in one package...

They just don't grow on trees these days, eh...?

Say, that's a good idea!

cnbc, really...?

[justmakeit2thebcs]

The best football team based in Little Rock is ........ Pulaski Academy.  What no college teams in LR?  Can't be. Can it? 

[Swine Superior]

Both teams could enjoy a fun filled day at Magic Springs or Dog Patch ..

[IronHog]

Actually it is the lack of 5-9 white boys......


Everyone knows that everything is better with 200K of the exact same 5-9 little car driving white boy living in the exact same house trying to get the exact same job as everyone else that is 5-9.

[justmakeit2thebcs]

you sayin' you don't know who cnbc is?  or that you don't have an inferiority complex?

Nice diagnosis.  I never knew a city could have an inferiority complex.

As a Little Rock resident by choice (I grew up in the northern part of the state, went to college in Fayetteville, and moved to Little Rock after graduating), I've never felt the need to justify my decision to live here.  It's a nice place. 

[TNRazorbacker]

The ImaPoppaCapinYoA$$ Bowl!

To make it interesting the halftime show would bench clearing brawl.

That'd be worth coming for all by itself.

Wouldn't say 5-9 is little...

Some of those short guys can be smart, tough or both...

Must have missed your point..l

[redeye]

Next1_04, I'm completely serious. There's no good reason why Little Rock couldn't have a bowl game of it's own, except that people would rather criticize the city, rather then do things that would make it better. The funny thing is that most of these people probably live in places that are far worse.

Maybe this article will help explain LR's inferiority complex.

http://www.cnbc.com/id/42135402/?slide=1

So you're criticizing Little Rock by saying the city has an inferiority complex? LOL! First time I've heard that one before.

But according to the article in your link:

The city has been recognized as one of the fastest-growing cities and one of the best cities for business.

The best football team based in Little Rock is ........ Pulaski Academy.  What no college teams in LR?  Can't be. Can it?

You find it unusual that a city has no college football teams? That's not unusual at all.

edit: The reason I wrote this is because Arkansas seems to have a worse image then at any point in my nearly 40 years of living in the state. I fully understand the negative image associated with the state, but for reasons unknown to me, it seems worse then ever today and far worse then it should be.

So when people who claim to love the state sit around criticizing it's cities, people and resources, to unprecedented levels, then I have to think that they're buying into the unjustified condescension that I hear from outsiders. I'll be completely honest and say that Little Rock, NWA or Arkansas is not my preference for where I'd most like to live, but I'll also say that I've traveled enough to know that it's a lot better then many think. So forgive my tantrum here, but I'd much rather concentrate on the positives, because I can go to many boards to hear the negatives and then some.

[Hornkiller]

Today's WM wouldn't be today's WM if Sam were still alive.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Great Bowl calls everyone. Just shocked no one suggest the "Sam's Choice" Bowl.

[Sir Oinksalot]

I've wondered if Stephens Inc. handles any Walmart money...

If they did you could call it the "Quid Pro Quo" Bowl...
