Burn, baby, burn…

It almost sounds like the punchline to some bad April Fools joke regarding the Orange Bowl catching fire in the wee hours last night. Sometime around 3:00am, a fire erupted on the field when a debris pile went up in flames.

The fire was extinguished within a half hour or so, but safe to say the ol’ girl still has a little fight left in her. The OB wanted to go out on her own terms and when that wasn’t the case, she got a little feisty.

On a side note, can they just implode the damned thing or bulldoze it already? This is like watching the world’s biggest Band Aid slowly peeled off. Rip that sucker, already. Us diehards are sick of seeing this stadium painfully dismantled brick by brick. Put her out of her misery already.

The Orange Bowl deserves/deserved better….
