Sodboy13 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 -St Petersburg Bowl presented by Beef O Bradys is now the Beef O Bradys Bowl This is why it's important to preserve the bowl system and avoid having a playoff.

illwauk Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 The fact that so many of these newer bowls (and even some of the older ones... Chick-Fil-A Bowl/Peach Bowl... I'm looking at you) are named directly for sponsors shows what a joke the bowl system has become. Clearly, most of these bowls aren't planning to be around in 10 years... or even 2 years.

FiddySicks Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 -Emerald Bowl is now the Kraft Fight Hunger BowlThat's really disappointing. Emerald Bowl was a great name. I don't think I can wear a T shirt that says Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

TFoA Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 So, if what I'm seeing is right, some 5-7 teams will now be bowl-eligible. From a homer's point of view, this is good since this will most likely be the way that Miss St. gets to a bowl game more often than not. But seriously, as if the bowls weren't already diluted enough, now we've got more & then like people said, we've got bowls that obviously aren't even in it for the long haul. It's turning into a joke, now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I can wear a T shirt that says Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl.What, do you have something against fighting hunger? Oh absolutely. Mothers across America are up in arms about this game and the sponsor name. If we end hunger and people in Ethiopia are fed, then what are mothers going to try and use to guilt trip their kids with? No longer will the phrase when a kid is finished with dinner be, "There are starving people in Ethiopia. Finish your dinner!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apeman33 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 So you only need 70 teams to finish at least 6-6 right? Better hope no one gets probation.Thirty-five bowl games: Because the fourth-place team from the MAC West deserves to go to a bowl game versus the fifth-place team from the Sun Belt.

HedleyLamarr Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 So you only need 70 teams to finish at least 6-6 right? Better hope no one gets probation.Thirty-five bowl games: Because the fourth-place team from the MAC West deserves to go to a bowl game versus the fifth-place team from the Sun Belt.That's 70 teams out of what....120?Granted, some teams play Div. I-AA schools, but the law of averages dictates that it'll be tough to have 70 schools with .500 records each season. And in some cases, a .500 won't be good enough if two of those wins come over I-AA teams. Of course, that assumes no one's on probation, no one penalizes themselves a la Clemson and South Carolina from a few years ago, or that schools play in a bowl game despite firing their coaching staffs (unlike what Notre Dame did last season).What happens if there's only 69 bowl-eligible schools? Do they cancel a bowl game, or do they invite a team that isn't eligible? Once you invite an at-large team with a losing record to play in a bowl game, you can no longer have the "winning record/.500 record" requirement.

rams80 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 The NCAA's contingency is reportedly, yes 5 win teams or teams that have victimized 2+ Division I-AA teams will become bowl eligible in that case.

It would have been better if he said "American Standard".In a related story, FedEx has ended their 21-year sponsorship of the Orange Bowl...http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/05/03/1610995/fedex-ends-21-year-sponsorship.htmlThis is somewhat serious as it will place the game in peril as a BCS game if they go not have a sponsor. AT&T has HQ in Dallas so the Cotton Bowl @ Jerry World may have moved closer to the BCS. FYI, Obie is a great game mascot and should stay forever.
