They have colored sprinkles on the white boundary like it's a frosted pop tart.They get some of the best matchups too, and the games are always entertaining. This year it's BYU and Georgia Tech.I just saw a defender punch out a ball with his heel while he was face planting.There have been 3 turnovers in the red zone.It's fun entertainment that I think epitomizes what makes bowl games special. I know they are becoming the NIT tournament of football, but that doesn't mean it has to be boring if the teams are competitive and the pomp is fun.
