(There are enough variables in Detroit without having the weather frighten people, too.)" Mostly true, but you forget Super Bowl XVI in 1982. The weather might not have affected the game itself, but it was epic for anyone trying to attend it.

I guess readers of the sportingblog aren't quite as thickskinned and used to playful lambasting as your typical EDSBS reader. at least you're getting hits, right? all publicity is good publicity, or something? on another note, i think the vehement response to this might also indicate some of the problems involved in shitcanning the current meaningless bowl system. The people involved are very proud of the 3 hours of exposure their city gets on national television, and won't stand for anything that gets in the way of showcasing Shreveport/Boise/wherever. wow, you seriously hit a nerve over there.
