I worked for “Matress Mack” at Gallery Furniture in Houston while I was in college. It was an amazing experience. And I mean that good and bad. You could score coke from the managers, get a blow job from the male decorators (I was propositioned several times), and score weed from the delivery drivers. I went on deliveries with a guy named “Bull.” He was about 5′4″ and 200 lbs of pure muscle. He went to prison for murder for 7 years and got out the year before I worked there. He introduced me to boudain and drove me through the 5th ward in Houston. (one of the scariest, and blackest parts of town). As we drove in to the 5th ward, there was a high speed chase coming out. I was safe though…this scrawny little white kid was riding with Bull. ahhh…good times. good times. Gallery Furniture is the largest single furniture store in the world. Everything Mack does, -including the Galleryfurniture.com bowl- is with the idea that it will cause him to sell more furniture. His #1 sales book?….Green Eggs and Ham. Love the man..but he’s f_cking nuts.

I grew up with only 4 bowl games (Rose, Orange,Cotton, Sugar) with no sponsors & thought that I was perfectly happy. Wrong! Now, my bowl runneth over. Rah!!!

Everybody’s favorite seems to be the Poulan Weedeater Bowl, but the one that started the odd naming craze was the Astro Blue Bonnet Bowl.
