The Aeolian wishes of college football fans reaches its apex during bowl season. From the Deep South to the Midwest, Jersey to California, all eyes are on the prize; a bowl victory. Winning a bowl game eases the pain of an otherwise average year. For those playing in the National Title game, it’s a chance to prove their number one in the BCS, an amalgamation of all that’s evil in the world.
Football aside, bowl games allow some of us to swear we want use any products or services of those sponsoring said games.
Tostitos Bowl - I’ve given them up and instead eat carrots.
Meienke Bowl – From now on the car goes to Goobers.
PapaJohns.com Bowl – Until Kotex sponsors a bowl game this is by far the worst. Papa Johns has a stadium in which the Louisville Cardinals call home. That’s embarrassing, but this bowl game with a dot com added to it boggles the mind.
Music City Bowl – How is this game not in the city wherein the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame resides?
The GMAC Bowl – The losers get laid off after fourth quarter earnings slip a half of a percent.
The Texas, Hawaii, and New Mexico Bowls – Why not Rhode Island, Alaska, or North Dakota?
The Capital One Bowl – If attendance is low the interest rate on your card goes up 5%.
The Alamo Bowl – The MVP gets a weekend rental with unlimited miles. (Subject to black out dates)
Obviously there are other examples and a few we’d like to see. One, The Sports Brawl Game, which would pit The Miami Hurricanes against the Students of UMass. If nothing else, it would be brutal.

I hear the GMAC Bowl gives you zero percent interest all year round.
