PapaJohns.com Bowl Information

[papajohnsbowl]

As a member of the executive board and as one of the many volunteers of the Papajohns.com Bowl let me officially extend a warm welcome to all Bulls fans.

If any of you would like any insight on various hotels and areas of the city or just have questions in general, I will be more than happy to answer them as best I can.

We will frequently be checking this board in the coming weeks leading up to the inaugural PapaJohns.com bowl to assist you in any way that we can.

You may also e-mail your questions directly to papajohnsbowl@dragonzrealm.com.

Once again...Congratulations on a fine season and we hope to see many of you in Birmingham on December 23rd.

while the domain your email is hosted at makes me suspicious...i'll go ahead and ask a question anyway.

When will a calendar of events be posted on your website? I need to know how to plan my trip.

I have my suspicions as well. :-? :-?

The official Bowl website uses johndoe@espn.com email address format.

the bowl was at first being ran through UAB i believe, as that was who people had to buy tickets thru, before the teams were announced.

They also had a post on their site asking for volunteers.  It's possible that this poster is a volunteer with the "Bowl Committee"...

Just like Outback Bowl has a bowl committee, but is run by Outback sports.

[Rabbi Bull]

you would think people who be able to read what a person writes where it says the poster is also a volunteer for the bowl game.

No I am not employed by ESPN...I work for a company that is on the executive board of the bowl and am also volunteering my time so I am using an email from my  personal UAB website.
