I'm feeling a little anxiety creeping in around the edges. That toe I dipped into the news began to drag the whole foot and leg in behind it. This is not good.

To reset, I'll share the list of ridiculous college football bowl games that TBG and Big Cuter helped me collect over the turn of the year.
It started with the Scooter's Coffee Frisco Bowl. Scooter has coffee? Who knew? Who's Scooter. It went downhill from there.
Duke's Mayo Bowl? Who's Duke?
The StaffDNA Cure Bowl. It felt awkward to laugh, but we couldn't help being bemused.
The Pop Tarts Bowl had pop tarts commercials and pop tarts costumed pop tarts just about everywhere you looked. The Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl..... the man is all over.
There were military bowls. Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl, the Auto Zone Liberty Bowl, and my favorite, the Go Bowling Military Bowl.
The cities and states states had their own bowls - the Islet New Mexico Bowl, the Union Home Mortgage Gasparillla Bowl, the Birmingham Bowl - although one state had two - the Kinder Texas Bowl and the TaxSlayer Texas Bowl.
The Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, Allstate Sugar Bowl, VRBO Fiesta Bowl, Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl, Teams Perfect Music, ReliaQuest Bowl, and the ServPro First Responder Bowl all felt fine. The corporations wanted to support a sporting event; I have no problem with that.
I did wonder how much it cost to name a bowl. Obviously, not everyone could manage it on their own: Bad Boy Shake Calling Mowers Pinstripe Bowl.
The one my guys like the most, though was the SRS Distribution Las Vegas Bowl.
This one has a verb in it!

Wow. I had no idea there were so many bowls, or that they were suce fun.
ReplyDeleteWhen this time of year rolls around I need to find joy in weird places in order to survive the surfeit of college football.

Likely dating myself, but I can remember when the bowl games were Rose, Orange, Cotton, Sugar, Peach, Fiesta, Sun, & Gator. & a few others. New list is kinda dizzying.
