Jaimoe Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 If anyone cares outside of the US and in particular the towns/schools where the teams are from, The International Bowl is on TSN right now from the Rogers Centre featuring Cincinnati Bearcats (Big East Champs) vs Western Michigan Broncos (Mid-American Conference). I think this would make a better basketball game. Horribly advertised by TSN and Rogers for a less-than-exciting match-up between non-rivals. Toronto Tourism had there hands all over this bowl game. Toronto being one of the worst sports cities in North America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badams Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 It just can't compete with Hockey Day in Canada and two NFL Football games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted January 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Saunders is from Toronto and having Flutie doing the colour - along with all the over-the-top gushing comments and beauty shots of city streets and landmarks - it's pretty obvious Toronto Tourism is paying off ESPN large.

badams Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 I think a Bowl game could easily work in Toronto but we would need better teams. I know we could never get one of the major bowls but these are not the quality of teams to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I think a March Madness regional would do a lot better, especially if a Michigan or Syracuse was in said region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you got confused by the matinees today. Damn Sens game isn't on the TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afro poppa Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Actually there is a rivalry between these two teams. Central Michigan's coach left the team after they won the MAC championship game. He left the team for Cincinatti, of all places. So there is some intrigue...my buddy went to the game.
