  2. @TC..I agree. It’s like giving every little league team a trophy so no one feels left out. Almost every college/university gets a bowl as long as they don’t go winless….I guess they don’t want anyone to feel left out….

  4. Wow. No more Peach, Florida Citrus, Hall of Fame, Motor City, Tangerine, Aloha, Houston, Freedom… I am waaaaay behind the times.

    You know what would be a cool quiz? “Defunct College Bowl or Something I Made Up.”

  5. Got 31… couldn’t figure out how to spell Meineke and didn’t think I needed all the extraneous stuff for the Independence. Considering my alma mater’s conference is tied into the St. Petersburg bowl, not much of an excuse for missing it…

    As an aside Mark, there are some awesome old bowl game names – my favorites are the Salad Bowl and the Barcardi Bowl.
