First Responder Bowl

[emmitt01]

Being played at Ford Stadium right now between Memphis and Utah State.  
 

Neither team is SMU, but the crowd looks strangely like a SMU game.

I was just logging on to comment on how cheap this bowl is to not even paint the field for the appropriate teams, they have to play with "SMU" in the end zones.

Not much of a game in first half with everything going Memphis way.

Let's have a bowl game at Apogee, or whatever it's new name is.  In fact, that might be the title sponsor.  The  Ryan Accounting Bowl.  The Interstate Battery Quick Start Bowl.  The Home Depot How Doers Get More Done Bowl.  The WinStar Drive a Little Further North Bowl.

Same here.  I mean at least put Servepro and/or Dallas in the Endzones.  🤷🏾‍♂️  This looks like an live intersqad SMU scrimmage sponsored by a trust fund SMU alumi on the Servepro board of directors 🤣.   Just more evidence that 7 wins or an appearance in a conference championship game should be the requirement to play in a bowl game.  How many 6-6 bowl participants went 5-6 vs FBS competition this year?  A total joke. Clearly fans aren't showing up for these games.

80,000 seats for a crowd size of less than 10,000

They didn't paint the end zones at the Frisco Bowl either.

Sad.  But we probably wouldn't have brought much more on a Tuesday afternoon.

80,000 seats that gets used how many times a year?

Did it strike anyone, besides me, the irony of having the First Responder's Bowl at smuT?  Honoring our first responders that include police, paramedics, etc., on the campus of the school that has violated every NCAA rule and killed five hookers to boot!  Wonder why ESPN never picked up and ran with that angle.

yeah, but the endzones didn't say FC DALLAS

it looked like a neutral field, just some decorative stripes

Colin Cancer Awareness Bowl doesn’t have ring to albeit a good cause.    🤷🏽‍♂️. With Tums as the sponsor maybe… Nevermind
