Pizza Bowl: People watched, didn't attend

[BShea]

Got the ratings today, and more people watched the Pizza Bowl this year on ESPN locally and nationally than they did last year, when Central lost to FAU. But the actual attendance at the game was the worst in the bowl's 13-year history.

That makes sense, there were no local teams playing to boost the attendance.

Also neither team was supposed to be playing. It was supposed to be the #6 seed from the Big 10, and the winner of the MAC. Neither team there was either of those things.

Who cares about that Pizza Bowl! It's not ever better than the Toilet Bowl.
