Duck Commander to become title sponsor of Independence Bowl [LOCKED]
On paper, it's a match made in bowl sponsorship heaven.
The Shreveport Times reported Sunday that Duck Commander -- the duck call brand made famous by the A&E reality series "Duck Dynasty" -- has reached a six-year agreement to become the title sponsor of the Shreveport, La.-based Independence Bowl.
“We can confirm that Independence Bowl Foundation officials are very excited about a partnership with Duck Commander,” Independence Bowl executive director Missy Setters told the Times. An official announcement will be made Wednesday, the paper reported.
Duck Commander will become the venerable 38-year-old bowl game's sixth title sponsor, replacing 2009-2013 sponsor Advocare...
MOD EDIT - Yeah, there is some unwarranted commentary here, and some of the side discussions are about to wander into places we would rather not explore on MGoBlog - LSA

a stupid comment was comming.
February 24th, 2014 at 5:09 PM ^
when you're anticipating stupid.
February 24th, 2014 at 5:13 PM ^
Put gay people in the same breath as bestiality and terrorists, but you're right, I'm the one making stupid comments.

I'd love to play in this bowl if that were the case.

they can be my guest. Maybe the people who go out of sheer cussed racism will make up for all of the people of color who don't. Dumbest common denominator America--at some point some of us need to draw the line.
WARNING: Negging me on this will be a declaration of your principles. And they will not be those of a Michigan man!

Isn't that 'warning' like a 4 year old's cry of 'say something different and you're a doodoo face'?
February 24th, 2014 at 5:04 PM ^
You've got it wrong. The 4-year old insult you're looking for is: "I know you are, but what am I?"
February 24th, 2014 at 5:06 PM ^
deductions are fairly safely drawn. I didn't get an A in Carl Cohen's Logic and Language class for nothing.
February 24th, 2014 at 5:11 PM ^
Bad Logic 101:
1. Many, but not all, of the citizens of Town X are racist.
2. Duck Guy lives in Town X.
3. Therefore, Duck Guy is a racist.
This is a logical fallacy because Duck Guy could be one of the people in Town X that isn't racist. Carl should revoke your A.
February 24th, 2014 at 5:02 PM ^
Exactly how are they racist?
February 24th, 2014 at 5:05 PM ^
talk code about how the black people in their parish don't cause trouble. I'll trouble them.
February 24th, 2014 at 5:02 PM ^
all his life. My dad grew up hunting. If they were alive today they would sneer at those low-lived fake-a** rednecks.
February 24th, 2014 at 5:07 PM ^
I almost never neg anyone, but your "warning" was just asking for it.

Also, although he did make homophobic remarks, I've never heard him say anything negative about "people of color."

Your logic is just....stupid.
When has Duck Commander been associated with racism? Because they live in a certain town? Just, wow dude.
February 24th, 2014 at 5:20 PM ^
February 24th, 2014 at 4:58 PM ^
This is gonna become political real fast, I think.
February 24th, 2014 at 5:01 PM ^
See the comment above you - it already has.
February 24th, 2014 at 5:11 PM ^
I'm hoping for some quality entertainment before the lockdown
February 24th, 2014 at 5:07 PM ^
does it go to Bolivia, too?
Only a matter of minutes, so in before delete...
February 24th, 2014 at 5:09 PM ^
I think mglobules' comments have this thread headed for a lock.
February 24th, 2014 at 5:07 PM ^
This is a dumb Ducking move
what the duck were they thinking?
who the duck do we send out complaints to?
oh wait I don't ducking care.
QUACK
February 24th, 2014 at 5:09 PM ^
I'll resume ignoring the irrelevant bowl game immediately.
February 24th, 2014 at 5:09 PM ^
February 24th, 2014 at 5:11 PM ^
want to command a duck? what would you command a duck to do?
February 24th, 2014 at 5:13 PM ^
February 24th, 2014 at 5:18 PM ^
can you tell if its a girl or boy?
February 24th, 2014 at 5:19 PM ^
February 24th, 2014 at 5:21 PM ^
this joke is a lot less funny if you take it too seriously.
February 24th, 2014 at 5:17 PM ^
and Duck Commander makes great calls. I've seen their show a couple times and it's mildly amusing. Uncle Si is hilarious. Fact is the "empire" isn't an empire without the show/tshirts/hats etc. The calls make them wealthy, but not bowl-sponsership rich. In five years they will still make good calls, but the phenomenon will be remembered in the same way as Real People, That's Incredible, WhoWant's to be a Millionaire, and Survivor (and a hundred others).
The game is a moment in the sun for a popularized bit of redneck culture.
Whoever today's Mod is must roll his eyes in anticipation when he or she sees a threat like this open up.
February 24th, 2014 at 5:17 PM ^
just checked in to see what's going on.
Nice to see this is going well.
February 24th, 2014 at 5:17 PM ^
This is why we can't have nice things, but can at least enjoy the show while the board proves why that is...
