Turns out we spoke too soon about the Pizza Bowl. The bowl game was full of problems, starting again with the pizza. There wasn't enough of it, according to Jon Solomon of the Birmingham News:
"Both Papa John's stands in one end zone temporarily ran out of pizza before halftime. Sodas also were sold out at one stand, where some fans lined up with three minutes left in the second quarter and finally got their slices seven minutes into the third quarter.
"A Papa John's official estimated the company probably lost $2,000 by being unable to make halftime sales."
Birmingham's Legion Field has only one oven and some fans waited 45 minutes for their slices.
We're also told that fireworks were shot off prematurely after a 17-yard scramble by North Carolina State's Russell Wilson late in the first half left him four yards shy of a touchdown. Even worse, Wilson sprained his knee on the run and didn't play in the second half.
Those chicks don't need any pizza.....
