Thoughts on Bowl names

[1chattyvols1]

I know everything is based on money and sponsorship but I miss the old USF&G Sugar Bowl, the Georgia Peach Bowl, the Tangerine Bowl, etc.. What about you guys? Does the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl and all of these other sponsored bowls matter to ya'll?

VN needs a Troll Bowl. You'd lose.

:loco:

 

[DocVOLiday]

I'm ok with (most) of the shorter names (though some are still dumb)

Not a fan of names like San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl

 

[Aavoxx]

I liked that the Peach Bowl reverted it's original name with the sponsored by Chick-fil-A tag line.

Sponsors are required to make the bowls happen, tho.

A dietary fiber supplement purposed to provide regularity should sponsor the Bowel Bowl, which can be the new name for the Bowl played in Shreveport, LA, Birmingham, AL, Frisco, TX, or Detroit, MI.

Viagra should sponser a bowl game to be played annually between South Carolina and Oregon State.

Kohler Bowl

The Famous Idaho Potato Bowl is a good one. I bet those two schools get excited about playing an outdoor game in Boise in late December.

Boise's not that cold, actually, but compared to other venues, I get your point.

Ha..i always thought that when Viagra sponsored a car in NASCAR that the driver should have been Dick Trickle.

There is too many bowls

Maybe I'm just an old folgy but that's how it was in the old days. Everything is to commercialized now.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

The Poulan/Weedeater Bowl was a classic name for a lower tier bowl.

I miss the Astro Blue Bonnet Bowl. That was actually in the 6-10 tier before the Fiesta Bowl decided to be a New Years Day game.

Why do you think that? What does it hurt to let these guys play one more game? Nobody is forced to attend, watch on TV or even play in the game.

It's sorta like when the T$$AA increased playoff teams in '86. 6-5 record is a winning record but a 2-8 team making the playoffs?

4-7 Miss St going to a bowl?

They is?

I disagree, the more football the better.

 

[pismonque]

I wish the company Tecmo would come back again and sponsor a bowl.

I mean relative to the other bowl games. It's one of only a few of cold weather bowl games, and certainly has your best odds of being frigid.

This is a great name for a bowl game

That would've been epic

Not enough bowls, give me more football.

It's an exhibition game. Who is harmed by a 5-7 team playing and extra game in Florida?
