Now days if you don't have ESPN you miss most of them nor do teams have to have a winning season to be in one. Lots of 500 teams playing in the bowls. I agree, the names of some of the bowl games are pretty funny.

Then I watched the Mizzou Tigers beat the Minnesota Golden Gophers (sorry, Nancy) in the Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl. They sure don't name bowl games like they used to.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-4204451113024073952015-01-01T16:22:43.367-05:002015-01-01T16:22:43.367-05:00What great memories for you..

When I got older, I couldn't stand the scripted (and often stupidly delivered) commentary, so I just watched a few bowl games. Now it's just another day, at least from a TV perspective, although the Minnesota Gophers are in some bowl or other at this very moment. Oh yeah, that's another change...all the branded renaming of the bowls.
