How to improve the Chicken Bowl's image
Posted on 12/31/12 at 2:24 pm
Posted on 12/31/12 at 2:24 pm
The Chicken Bowl seems to get a bad rep amongst the top tier fanbases, which is quite unfortunate. The past month I have read a ton of bickering about how crummy of a bowl game this is for a top ten, two loss SEC team. Instead of bitching I would like to open a discussion on ways the Chicken Bowl committee could improve the image of the bowl and make it a more desirable location. (Before all the complicated chaos that is about to unfold with the new playoff system about to take place)
My suggestions are as follows:
1. Millions of Peaches, Peaches for me. Millions of Peaches, Peaches for Free. Put the Peach back into the name, whether it is the Chik-Fil-A Peach Bowl or the Peach Bowl presented by Chik-Fil-A. The Peach Bowl has history dating back to the 60's. Also the Peach is a symbol of identity for the state.
2. Change the month the bowl is played in. I am sure that this is easier said than done with all the wonderful rules and regulations within the NCAA rules and television contracts. However, if this game were played in Jan, it would immediately gain a better reputation and become a more desirable bowl destination.
3. Atlanta has recently approved to build a new stadium to replace the GA Dome. It has probably already been determined to relocate this Chicken Bowl to the new stadium, but anything is better than the Big Top.
Any other thoughts to improve the game's reputation?

New slogan: AT LEAST WE'RE NOT THE WEEDEATER BOWL

Folks like you could learn to call it by it's corporate name.
Chicken bowl is rather kindergarten humor and does nothing promote the bowl itself.

I think people think it's a good bowl game? I don't think it has a bad image.
It's just the SEC has the Cotton, Cap 1, Outback and Chick-Fila bowl that are all about "equal," although the Cotton is probably a little above the others lately

First, you can stop calling it the chicken bowl.
Second, the only reason it has a bad reputation is because of the name.
Imagine if the Cotton Bowl was called the Canes chicken fingers bowl. Or the Mission Burrito Bowl...

How do SEC fans rank the following:
Cotton
Cap 1
Outback
Chick Fila bowl

By definition Cap 1 is tops. Outback and Cotton are equal, one for east and west. CFA is last

So you come here with recomendations on how to improve a bowl's image, yet you repeatedly call it by something other than the bowl's real name?
It is not "The Chicken Bowl"
It is "The Chik-Fil-A Bowl"
Start there.

The Cap 1 Bowl can frick itself. Should have been demoted to the middle of December for presenting that cow pasture.

Lets start by calling it the Peach Bowl again.
Also, it should be noted that it is the NINTH oldest bowl, which should have something to do with prestige. It is older than the Fiesta bowl.
Only older bowl games:
Rose
Sugar
Cotton
Orange
Sun
Gator
Tangerine/Citrus
Liberty

Atlanta sucks. No way around it.

I can't rank it with the Cap 1/Outback/Cotton because it has taking lower ranked teams in the past. In 2000 LSU was 7-4 and played GT in the Peach Bowl. Now we're 10-2 and in that same bowl. Our current 10-2 team is light years ahead of where we were back then, so why the same bowl? I don't remember the Cotton Bowl taking a 7-5ish type team in recent memory

In that order. It's not an image problem, it's that the Peach Bowl is fairly low on the pecking order. So a lot of fans consider it an insult that LSU fell that far. But the problem is that there are a lot of good SEC teams so somebody is going to get a bowl that is probably beneath them. Fact is that if we'd beaten Florida, we'd be in a better bowl. If we'd beaten Bama, we'd probably be playing for a MNC. We didn't get the job done so bitching about the bowl won't solve anything. Take care of business and the bowl invitations will take care of themselves.

Sports guy here calls it the "for losers who can't get a date for New Year's Bowl."
