or: Maybe I’m Just Bitter that I’m So Old I Can Remember When There Were Just Fifteen Bowls and the Orange Bowl Was Still Called the Fucking Orange Bowl and the National Champion Was Decided on New Years Day Instead of Like in March or Whenever the Fuck it is Nowadays and Wait WTF is a TicketCity Bowl Anyway and WTF When Did They Start Playing Football at Yankee Stadium Ugh God Make It Stop.
- 2011 GoDaddy.com Bowl [there will presumably be GoDaddy.com commercials]
- 1993 IBM OS/2 Fiesta Bowl [one-time “next big thing” operating system nobody under the age of 30 has heard of]
- 2000 Ourhouse.com Florida Citrus Bowl [404 Resource Not Found]
- 2002 EV1.net Houston Bowl [404 Resource Not Found]
- 1992 Outback Steakhouse Gator Bowl [“Bloomin’ Onion”]
- 2006 Brut Sun Bowl [the only cologne on earth that makes CK1 look like a step in the right direction]
- 1998 MicronPC Bowl [they didn’t sponsor it so much as actually rename it from the “Tangerine Bowl”]
- 1999 MicronPC.com Bowl [THEN THEY RENAMED IT AGAIN JUST TO CLEAR UP THE DOT COM THING]
- 2002 ConAgra Foods Hawai’i Bowl [guess it sounded better than the “E. Coli Bowl”]
- 2007 Roady’s Truck Stops Humanitarian Bowl [I MEAN]
