state: fans."
Believe it or not. that was
vvliat tile bulletin hoard read in
the lobby of the hotel where 1
was staying for the Indepen
dence Bowl.
That was only the beginning
Anyone who argues that the
bowl system should stav the
way it is obviously has never
been to Shreveport
Sure, the people of this run
down city do their best to pro
vide that infamous "Southern
hospitality." and the cajun food
is good, but the fact that this
city hosts a bowl game is .1 little
embarrassing.
To get a (letter feel of what
the Independence Bowl is like,
imagine moving Parker St ad i -
um to Springfield and inviting
two barely above MM) teams to
play in a bowl game there every
New Year’s Kve {()! course, the
name of the bow 1 would have
be changed to something like
the Homophobic Bow l )
Bossier City, which was
where I stayed, along with
much of the media, looked like
LA after the riots There were
literally blocks of gutted-out
buildings that used to be small
businesses
Directly across from Indepen
dence Stadium is a real nil e re
finery piping smoke and dust
into the air. One Duck booster
told me she at tually saw a man
peddling drugs in broad day
iighl on a i orner in Shreveport
A cab driver in the i itv told
me the economy is so bad in
Shreveport that many residents
i an t even afford a tii ket to the
game
"This i itv is in terrible shape
economically.” lie said "Peo
ple gel so cvi lied about ibis
game Ihm nuse il gives our ei on
omv a little kii k in the bull,
even if it is for just a few days
