Or are the Ilitich's running the show? I talked to some folks who saw Perles a little while ago in Florida. I heard that George has to use a scooter to get around now he's gotten so big.

i know they were hoping for 50,000 plus but I could tell it did not look more than in the high 40's. Not sure why people feel the need to rip this bowl game. I have always had fun going and it is decent exposure for the state. They just need to settle on a time for the game and stick with it. I think 4:30 on the Tuesday after Christmas is to early. Most people are back to work after a long weekend.

They basically have to boost their profile, because ESPN essentially sets the game time. They started at 4:30 because ESPN has another game at 8:00. If they want a prime time slot, they need to raise their profile. Same idea if they want a spot later in the week. The week is booked pretty solid, as I'm sure you've noticed.
Its not going to take much to surpass the Belk Bowl

Honestly, the people in charge need to actually try to boost its profile. Ford Field hosted a Super Bowl successfully. Other bowls are boosting payouts and getting better teams. The Pizza Bowl could at least become a mid-tier bowl if they actually try.

I agree. Ford Field is a great venue for any football game. I actually liked the 4:30 slot. Allows plenty of time for bars before and after the game. On the other hand, I'm off all this week too.
If they keep getting good match ups like this one, they'll get the ratings and the profile will follow. It's a pretty successful bowl considering that it hasn't been around very long. The big ten tie in definitely helps them. One thing that's often overlooked in regards to the lower bowl games is the great individual performances you get to see. That WR from Western is something special.

The 3 games with B1G teams have been pretty good.
Next bowl contract cycle, I would like to see the Pizza Bowl increase its payout, move up in the B1G pecking order and get a Big East team. With the Big "East" about to cover the entire nation, it could be a good next step for the Pizza Bowl.
As for that WMU wide receiver, he put up those numbers with the human turnover Alex Calder throwing to him.

I'm going to disagree with the "good matchup" designation. Outside of the B1G, Purdue-WMU looks like more of the same crap we've had so far this bowl season. Even inside the B1G this matchup is pretty meh.
Did it turn out to be entertaining for those who watched: you bet, but the same could be said for LaLafayette vs San Diego St. And I'll never say that was a good marketable matchup.

...and yet it hasn't despite the fact that both bowls have been around for years (with different names when it comes to Belk). You and I would easily prefer the Pizza Bowl, but we are biased.

This year's game was about the best the bowl could hope for, an in-state team vs a Big ten team. Unfortunately 4 years out of 5 they won't get a B10 team in the order they are. But even going to a Big East tie in might not help. Can't really see a ton of Cincy or Uconn fans making the trip.

Is Coach Perles still running the Pizza Bowl?
