Oshkosh, WI - The first annual
Sportalicious Naked Chicks In The Press Box Bowl at UW-Oshkosh
Titan stadium wrapped up mere moments before we went
to press - and what a wrap up it was! The inaugural tilt
was to pit Army (0-13) versus Illinois
(1-10) but the Northern Illinois Huskies
(10-2), despite intitially turning down an invite two weeks
ago, showed up anyway and proceeded to simultaneously beat
Army 42-0, Illinois 51-7, and an Army/Illinois all-star
team 37-10! The three wins were the most ever for one bowl
game in NCAA history. The Huskies bused
in over 4,000 fans as well, raising attendance to 5,121.
Despite snow flurries and windchill of minus-3, everyone
stuck around for the big post game festivities entitled,
"Get To Know the Naked Chicks In The Press Box."
The 5:45am kickoff was mandated by the NCAA's Illegal Bowl
Games Committee in order to complete the game before
breakfast, which according to the NCAA bylaws prevents prosecution
of illegality. Even after the unique "winner-take-all"
payout, the bowl game actually showed a profit, though most
of it went to tip the Naked Chicks In The Press Box. Financially
solvent, the Sportalicious! bowl execs said they will plan
on starting in January to search for a corporate sponsorship
but will probably forget and wait til say, November. MacInthosh
Snuff Powder has expressed interest.
