So every year some of the college bowl game names seem to get more and more ridiculous with the sponsor names added to the name of the bowl game. I think my favorite one from when they started to get more ridiculous was the Poulan Weed-Eater Independence Bowl.
My sister makes fun of them every year. Her birthday falls on December 29, so she even has made up a bowl game name for her birthday before.
These are some of the more notable and ridiculous bowl game names for this year: Cheribundi Tart Cherry Boca Raton Bowl, Quick Lane Bowl, Walk-On's Independence Bowl, Camping World Bowl, San Diego County Credit Union Holiday Bowl, NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl, and the TaxSlayer Bowl.
The bowl games also seem to start earlier and earlier every year. This year the first game or games were played on December 16.
I remember when the Hall of Fame Bowl game in Tampa started back in the late 80s, I thought it was early on December 23. But then it got moved to New Year's Day.
And bowl games didn't go past New Year's Day, but now the National Championship game is played on January 8.
It's a different era and ridiculousness of the bowl game names will always abound.
