Behold, The Quest For Beef

With the termination of the deal between The International Bowl and the Big East, the Quest For Toronto died a premature death. Like the Jews escaping Egypt, Syracuse football has crossed the desert far and wide in search of their next Quest (too soon?)...i.e. the next realistic, end-of-season goal that seems feasible and doesn't ask too much of us. Sure, The Yankee Bowl (or whatever it will eventually be called) sounds logical. And I'm sure they'll be more than happy to take us.
But you don't choose your Quest, your Quest chooses you. And I submit to you that Syracuse's Quest tastes like rump roast.
Beef O'Brady's, the chain of family sports restaurants known for sponsoring youth sports leagues, is moving up to bigger things, as new title sponsor of the St. Petersburg Bowl.
The Dec. 19 game at Tropicana Field will announce the sponsorship at a news conference at 2 p.m. Wednesday at the St. Petersburg Pier. The sponsorship comes just 10 days before kickoff, but the parent company, Family Sports Concepts, has signed a multiyear deal with the bowl for at least one more season.
I have never in my life until this moment heard of Beef O'Brady's but based on what I'm learning, that's probably a good thing. With a website that features beef and children, we learn that "Beef's are popping up all over the country." Easy, there.(No Beef's in New York or California? Come on! We need sports bars! New York needs neighborhood pubs where friends and families can gather to enjoy delicious wings and talk sports in a comfortable, friendly atmosphere just as much as the next state).
For the time being, it seems like it will remain The St. Petersburg Bowl brought to you by Beef O'Brady's, which is a mistake. No. We need The Beef Bowl. If Syracuse is to finish 6-6 next season and qualify for your good graces, sirs and madams who run the bowl, this is necessary. We Quest for Beef.
Update: It's officially The Beef O'Brady Bowl! Good thinkin'!

I can see it now… the Beef-O-Meter moving from rare to well-done as the wins pile up next year.
Go, fight, and win.
I think we should do it the opposite way.
Well-done should be for failure, as in “cooked”. After all, rare (or medium-rare) is the best way to have a steak as it is.
Though if I’m eating at Beef O’Brady’s I’m not sure that I want anything that isn’t thoroughly cooked…
Yeah, the are all over Kentucky
I’m not a fan of their wings, their pretty average and the nuclear wings are just merely hot. They do have some good fish sandwiches though.
Wow...
Just don’t leave your DNA all over that beef

I don't think delicious wings are allowed in California
Or if they are, my friend in San Diego who used to live in Rochester for several years can’t find them…
PERFECT!!
I live in St. Petersburg and I go to a beef o’brady’s a block away from my house. I was in beef’s when we beat Cal and UNC. What a perfect combination. The owner and two of their waiters are diehard cuse fans.
I request permission to be the St. Pete/Beef O’Brady’s contact person. Any questions can be directed to me. I was born for this position!! What do ya think?

A smidge outside
of St. Pete…If Syracuse was St. Pete, I would be living in Manlius. I work in St. Pete tho. The beefs is in Palm Harbor. Dont know if your from the area but if you are I expect that you will be at the St. Pete TImes Forum tomorrow night….you HAVE to be…right? Isnt that a pre-requisite to being an orange fan in Florida? Anytime Cuse is within 2 hours (at least) your at the game?

Mike

Well its funny
The St. Pete Times Forum is actually located in Tampa. Yet the Tampa Bay Rays play in Tropicana field which is in St. Pete. Its all sorts of messed up. I do know that the St. Pete Times Forum is located right near Channel Side. There is hardly any tailgaiting there so you have to hit up the local bars. If your going to the game and not sure where to go….just ask where Channel Side is. Channel side is a collection of bars that circle this courtyard. VERY nice, upscale joint. I know when the superbowl was down here, many of the celebrities hit up Channel Side…I saw Snoop out there one time. If its good for Snoop, its great for me…holla at ya boy

About the Yankee Bowl
Somehow I think Citi Field would be a better fit for Syracuse; the Yankees would probably want a Notre Dame based bowl (and considering YES airs ND games and SNY airs Big East games, go figure).
ITS NOT FAILING TO REACH THE INTERNATIONAL BOWL
ITS WAITING TO BECOME FIRST EVER BEEF BOWL CHAMPIONS REMEMBER THAT

I'll send you a postcard from Toronto
USF really missed out this year. This close to becoming the first Beef Bowl Champions. Too bad the Big East banished awarded them to play above the border.
