This would be the 3rd bowl game for the state of Alabama. Alabama will now be known as "The Shitty Bowl State."

Brian Woods, a New York sports consultant heading the Legends Bowl Group, said today the organization is in active talks with NBC and smaller conferences such as the Sun Belt, Mountain West, MAC and Conference USA. Montgomery is one of several possible destinations for a new bowl, along with Miami, Orlando, Little Rock, Ark., Los Angeles, Boca Raton, Fla., Ireland, Dubai, Toronto and Nassau, Bahamas.
"We feel we're in the top two or three of possible new bowls going forward," Woods said. "We feel we might be in direct competition right now with Little Rock. We feel we're ahead of the Orlando group to some capacity and ahead of the Los Angeles group. We'd love to have NBC at least give us a preliminary agreement and get us leverage. That's a big sticking point with Little Rock's efforts."

Orlando deserves a spot IMO. Been there all week and was really impressed with the city

Nobody is dropping the amount of money it takes to go on vacation in Dubai to see Wyoming play Central Michigan. Bahamas would be sweet if they have the stadium

The Bahamas would be a fun trip for the players but if it happened to my team I'd be pissed

Hey UCLA all three of those "shitty" bowls will have a greater attendance than the Pac 12 championship game played on Stanford's campus.
Wasn't the attendance around 18,000? I would call that a shitty pac 12 conference championship game!

Savannah (or Charleston) needs a bowl game much more than any other city IMO
ETA: The Crampton Bowl looks great though

These would be awesome. I still think Vegas is the perfect bowl game destination and needs a higher profile one. I realize they need the stadium for it though. Back during the Fiesta Bowl fiasco I was hoping Vegas would make a push for a high profile bowl game

ehhhh that's a stretch. I can't think of anything worse than seeing a game in memorial stadium. (In jackson)This post was edited on 6/15/13 at 7:09 pm
