What happened to some of those great bowl game names of the past?

The Furnituregallery.com bowl

The Poulon weed-eater bowl (I'm not making these up)



I know...they just got different sponsors, I got a kick out of those names however.


The Chick-fil-a peach bowl is still around but I think they might have changed the name slightly.


When you have less than exciting teams at 6-5 and 6-6 they have to play somewhere. image

    There's actually a San Diego Credit Union sponsored bowl this year...Sad!
  • My personal favorite was the Bluebonnet Bowl!
    There are two types of people in this world; those who like Neil Diamond, and those who don't. My ex-wife loves him!!

    I think it originally was called the Astro Bluebonnet Bowl but they lost the Astrodome as a sponsor or something and had to change the
    name.

    The Bluebonnet Bowl just died off because they were unable to get big names and ticket sales suffered.

    The The Furnituregallery.com bowl is now the Texas Bowl - > Website
    So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts
  • I believe it was the Poulan Weed Eater Independence Bowl.
