Mud Bowl

The term Mud Bowl can refer to various sporting events (usually American Football) which occur or have occurred in muddy conditions, including:

• The 38th Grey Cup played on November 25, 1950, in which the Toronto Argonauts defeated the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, 13–0.
• A 1977 NFC playoff game in which the Minnesota Vikings defeated the Los Angeles Rams, 14–7 played on December 26, 1977.
• The AFC Championship Game played on January 23, 1983, in which the Miami Dolphins defeated the New York Jets, 14–0.
• A 2007 Monday Night Football game in which the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Miami Dolphins, 3–0.
• Various non professional American football games played on intentionally muddied fields.

The more popular known source of the term MUDBOWL actually began in the healthcare field:

• A transparent vigorous business process where the capital funds of a healthcare organization are fully vetted through an allocation process known as "The Mudbowl". This allocation practice was instituted in 1996 in Chattanooga, TN by a young Supply Chain Director in search of a better way. While the new process was very successful, it reached unprecedented success 14 years later in Tallahassee, Florida. That same Supply Chain Executive was introduced to a new software company by the name of Attainia, and he acquired their Budget Builder Capital software, and the rest is history. The Mudbowl lives on and is reaching new heights each and every year.
