Wing Bowl XIX is upon us

 

There are few things more 'Philadelphia' than Wing Bowl. Call it unique, call it wonderful, call it a scar on the city — as a non-Philadelphian I can say it is all of the above.

And tomorrow morning the annual wing devouring contest will begin at 6 a.m. at the Wachovia center, where thousands will gather to watch the absurd competing personalities go at it.

As DP Sports alum David Gurian-Peck wrote last year, "It's a simple rule: you heave, you leave."

Last year's winner, Super Squib, will be there, along with Gurian-Peck's favorite Obi Wing, and a cast of others looking for fame through iron-stomached endurance.

Our DP crew will be setting their alarms early tonight to wake up and cover the event. But for those who can't wait, Philly.com's Pattison Ave. blog has a preview.
