Dressed up Peach protestors with peaches cut up being eaten by the Chick-filet cows. Gotta use the shock approach to get attention.

Anyone know where you can rent billboard space near the GA dome???

Follow me here...we've all seen the cows on the billboards writing "Eet mor chikin"...now how about...."Eet mor PEECHZ"

That would be funny. lol:

Look.  The reason that the top four BCS bowls are in that tier is because they were the bowls making the highest payouts to participating schools at the time the BCS was established.  The article says that Chick-fil-A is giving something like $30 million for the name.  That money will result in a higher payout to the schools.  If the Chick-fil-A bowl is paying more than the Fiesta or Orange next time the contract is negotiated it might get bumped up.  I can't see the Rose Bowl ever getting bumped down just on the basis of tradition.  Who knows what will happen to the Sugar Bowl (which is another area of opportunity for the C-f-A Bowl)?  Do you really believe that Chick-fil-A needs the pub from taking the Peach out of the title?  I imagine that some Atlanta booster like Spurgeon Richardson went to the Chick-fil-A people and asked them to do this.  The Chick-fil-A people have to justify the expenditure somehow so they say they are buying the title.

Definitely. If the Music City Bowl could move up a little in the pecking order I'd be happy to go watch an ACC Big10 match up. I am even considering going this year just to see Virginia. Although I have never been to the actual game at the Music City Bowl I usually go to the battle of the bands the night before where all the fans get together with both schools' bands on Second Ave.

They actually grow more peaches in South Carolina than in Georgia.  Also, the artcle said it has been the Peach Bowl since 1968.  That's not exactly a long history.

1968 isnt a long history??? thats almost 40 years of history there, I think that is pretty long not to screw with.

Ah, yes, the bowl rep double talk.

Sugar Bowl
Rose Bowl
Orange Bowl

Chick-Fil-A Bowl... Adding to the tradition? :question: Not quite the same ring to it.
