NGT: College Bowl Games - What the...

dep026 : 12/3/2018 1:52 pm

Some of these names seem like a segment from a Key and Peele segment....

So what sponsored game are you looking forward too?

The R & L Carriers bowl seems like a goodie.

they still call it the R+L New Orleans Bowl though, don't they?

It's not as bad as the Dollar General Bowl or the Belk Bowl (formerly the Continental Tire Bowl).

Now that the Beef O'Brady's Bowl

Pete in MD : 12/3/2018 2:05 pm : link

has been renamed, I'll have to go with Cheez-It Bowl.

The Poulan Weed-Eater Independence Bowl is sorely missed

Greg from LI : 12/3/2018 2:09 pm : link

The Cheez-It Bowl should be good

B in ALB : 12/3/2018 2:32 pm : link

And the Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl is already sold out.

I know it's for a good cause, but still...

The Cure Bowl.

The anthem will be a little emo.

hahaha....I'd never heard of Bad Boy Mowers

Greg from LI : 12/3/2018 2:36 pm : link

until I saw they were the sponsor of the Battle 4 Atlantis this year, so I guess the sponsorship worked?

That bowl in Tampa

Pete in MD : 12/3/2018 2:46 pm : link

has quite a history of silly sponsor names: magicJack, Beef O'Brady's, Bitcoin, now Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla.

These names are so stupid.

They make me less likely to actually watch the game.

The band was the first thing I thought of when I heard about the Cure Bowl.

Tampa's got nothing on Jacksonville

Greg from LI : 12/3/2018 2:52 pm : link

I'm looking forward to the Finger Bowl

Anakim : 12/3/2018 2:52 pm : link

The Dust Bowl should be fun

Instead of the Chick-Fil-A Impakt (like the K makes it cool) Players

Anakim : 12/3/2018 2:53 pm : link

How about listing the entire fucking lineup?

TaxSlayer halftime show is great though

I wish they would go back to the Gator Bowl or Peach Bowl.

I agree about the names

I know this isn't the kind of money they can't turn down, but some of these bowl names are so hokey that it actually reflects badly on the product.

There should only be 15 or so bowl games

dpinzow : 12/3/2018 4:05 pm : link

plus the playoff. Bowl games should be a reward for a successful season as they were 30 years ago. My brother and I used to call these �Thrifty Car Rental� bowls because ESPN had Thrifty Car Rental as the sponsor for the entire bowl season prior to the playoff era

But here are my best of the worst bowl names

dpinzow : 12/3/2018 4:12 pm : link

Cheribundi Boca Raton Bowl (their product is actually very good, but the bowl name sounds kind of funny)

Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl

Makers Wanted Bahamas Bowl

Cheez-It Bowl

Jared Birmingham Bowl (yes, it is actually sponsored by the jewelry company)

Two that jump out...

bw in dc : 12/3/2018 4:13 pm : link

The Cheez-It Bowl.

And the General Dollar Bowl.

Cheez its are delicious

Sneakers O'toole : 12/3/2018 5:05 pm : link

Who wouldn't want a bowl of them

Headed to the Camping World Bowl to

RDJR : 12/3/2018 7:15 pm : link

see Cuse play WVU.

Belk Bowl

Daniel in MI : 12/3/2018 9:50 pm : link

and Potato Bowl. And of course my Spartans face the Ducks in the Redbox Bowl.
