Cotton Bowl moving to bowl that is not cotton

I could make the case for having confused feelings about this (economic realities vs. tradition, etc.), but I don't: The people who run Dallas are a bunch of freaking morons.

To shrug off one of the great traditions your city has because you don't want to pony up anything more than a financial band-aid every five years is classic stupid.

People wanted to play at the Cotton Bowl. At Fair Park. It was that simple. A lot of people blow off Dallas as a part of Texas, but the Fair Park buildings and the Cotton Bowl are a huge part of how the state defines itself. You could have at least put up a serious fight to make sure the games played there will be above the high school level.

Now, we have another game at Jerry's House. It's a nice place, to be sure, but it's at Jerry's House. Yeech.
