The college football season is approaching and everyone has only one game on their minds. While many senior pundits bemoan the new-look, 12-team playoff format’s larger format as a watered-down version of what makes college football so compelling, there is one thing that can never be watered down. This thing is frosty brew. And the winning coach of today’s match in the tents, Frisco coffee bowl for a scooterI will wear his gallons.
Correct, Frisco coffee bowl for a scooter, which sounds like a joke we would write in Sprudge Slack but is a very real thing, will be broadcast on national television tonight. For the second year in a row, the coffee company is the title sponsor of the Frisco Bowl held at Toyota Stadium in the far northern suburbs of Dallas. Which means you shouldn’t expect any Gatorade baths. In a few hours, this year’s competition begins, with the No. 25 Memphis Tiger Stripes taking on the West Virginia High Elevation Mountaineers in a victorious attempt to douse the head coach with five, maybe 10, gallons of frosty water-brewed coffee… Recent in a cooler size, cup takeaway coffees.
University of Texas at San Antonio head coach Jeff Traylor had exceptional success last year, but after a surprising 6-6 record this year, Traylor and UTSA had to settle for the Myrtle Beach Bowl and therefore. , sand bath I guess?
This opened the door for Memphis and WVU to fill the energy vacuum. Who will win? Who will get the doppio dunk this year? Will it be Memphis’ Ryan Silverfield or WVU interim head coach Chad Scott? The effortless choice is Memphis, ranked 25th and having four more wins than WVU this year. But West Virginia has been there before, and they know what it takes to earn a celebration of novelty food bowls, as was the case with last year’s mayonnaise at Duke’s Mayo Bowl.
Ultimately, this fight will come down to one thing: coffee skills. And the edge here must go to Memphis. While Morgantown has frosty shops like Mountaineer Roasting Co and Coffee Tree Roasters, in Memphis it’s tough to keep up with the glut of great coffee. Cxffee Black/Anti-Gentrification Coffee Club, Boycott Coffee, City and State, Comeback Coffee, Vice and Virtue, Congregation… The Memphis list is simply too extensive to deny.
But don’t let WVU hang around. Anything can happen in the last seconds if you allow Coach Scott to play freely with the gadgets at his side latte art. We could see another Finca Inmaculada party.
We’ll find out soon when Scooter’s Coffee Frisco Bowl starts tonight at 8 p.m. CST.
