No pizza to be had at Papa Johns Bowl

I don't think the good folks at the Papa Johns Bowl were ready for the New Jersey fans.

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.

Honestly... if you're going to be the Papa Johns Bowl, you need to have pizza. It's a pretty basic concept, right? That's like going to the Humanitarian Bowl and not having humans. Sheesh.
