bodybag game
n.— Note: Same as a paycheck game. «South Florida, a school of over 34,000 undergrads, many of whom commute, took home a $650 K check for their trip to Auburn. That total is a quarter million more than what App State got in their win over Michigan. Nonetheless, South Florida athletic director says that it will be the school’s last “bodybag game” as they will expect a return visit out of all their non-conference opponents.» —“Ripper Ramblings” College Gridiron Boss Sept. 12, 2007.
