Serious question, can I just host a bowl game? It can't be more than filling out a few forms and picking up a couple additional sponsors, right? I mean the hardest part must be finding two teams that have got nothing going on this holiday season, because everyone, and I mean everyone, gets a bowl invite these days. It's like Tee-Ball when you're 5 or 6 years old now, every kid ends up with a trophy at the end of the season (even though as a 6 year old I could count and we clearly fucking won that game, I'm not bitter or anything). To be frank, if you're in the crowd for the Gilden New Mexico game sporting Temple v. Wyoming, and you're n ot the parent of some kid in the game, you seriously need to re-evaluate your life choices.
But back to my first question, can anyone just host one these things? Like if I go down to say Everett town hall today, acquire the necessary permits to use their football stadium for the day, could I go out and get a couple of teams? Maybe pit two local schools against each other, like North Shore Community College against Bunker Hill? Or maybe two schools with defunct football programs, like Northeastern v. UMass Lowell? The schools could hold try outs, grab a playbook off line, and hold a few practices before their December 28th show down?
