That said, I will defend this bowl in one respect: the general tone I've seen from the greater football world is "hahaha it will be cold how lame." This sentiment is seen by the loudest and most jerked-off fanbases in the SEC, typically. To them I say: man the fuck up. It's football. It's been played and played well north of the Mason-Dixon line. You guys let everyone know how the best brand of football evar is played is played in the South and no one can compete. Surely, you wouldn't be afraid of a little snow or the threat of 30-degree weather.
Stop being pussies.

talon {l Wrote}:The Yankee Bowl people better hope that a local team is available every year (Syracuse, Rutgers, UConn). People need to make bowl game plans on 2-3 weeks notice. If I can find a good deal on a flight and hotel room, I go. If it's prohibitively expensive, I think twice.
Everyone gives the Boise Bowl a hard time, but in 2005, if that game was played in Salt Lake City or Denver, I'd have booked a ticket as soon as I could. The fact that flying into Boise is ridiculously expensive kept me from going (I think the cheapest flight I found from anywhere on the east coast was in the $650-$700 range).
I think NYC is a great place to visit during the holidays, but I can't imagine that booking a flight to NYC and getting a hotel room around New Year's Eve is going to be an inexpensive trip. I could see Big XII fans thinking that it would be worth the cost if this was just a step below BCS in terms of prestige. I can't imagine fans of a team that finished 2-4/3-5 in conference play shelling out the money to see a mid-level big east team.
