Rib contest complaint results in football position change
The Tennessean has a report on how Vanderbilt lineman Adam Butler credits his grievances at a rib eating contest held at the 2012 Music City Bowl for his switch from offense to defense. His coaches thought his complaints about his opposition from North Carolina State cheating showed a combative nature.
“For some reason, the judge voted that we lost the rib-eating contest, and I stood up and argued with the judge,†Butler said. “(The judges) were counting the bones. But (North Carolina State players) had ribs on their plate that didn’t have a bone in it, which means they just took the bones out of the ribs and threw them in the tub.â€
Nashville will hold the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl Hot Chicken Eating World Championships on December 29. Comment on the bowl's facebook page to get a spot in the contest.
