Gator Bowl renamed the TaxSlayer Bowl
I really wish I was making this up.
The Gator Bowl was the 6th oldest bowl game going back to 1945.
Disappointed that the logo isn't a sword going through a Tax Dragon or something.
That's a prize reward to dangle in front of your team come Bowl Selection Sunday.
At least you know that it's always scheduled during a specific time of the month (of January).
Yup, it's easy to get "excited" for that one.
of course.
If so they would have to move it to Tampa.

I have a suspicion that it will be the Gator Bowl again one day as well, but in an era when we have such classics now as the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl and the San Diego Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl and the vaunted Beef O'Brady's St. Petersburg Bowl, this doesn't seem like it is the worst thing that could happen when it comes to brazen marketing ploys anymore.
It was called the Taxslayer.com Gator Bowl for a little while I believe so now its just going full on corporate!
Wesley Snipes as the official bowl mascot.
Another pointless bowl run by old white guys in suits has caved into corporate sponsorship. I'll never be able to enjoy this years thrilling Rutgers-UTEP matchup the same way
Why are you bringing race into this? Sounds like Donald Tokowitz.
Are there any bowl games not run by old white guys in suits?
The Vampire Tax Slayer bowl is run by Blade Wesley Snipes. See picture above...
fall in line with the rest of the world and start putting sponsorships prominently all over their uni's? The English Premier League teams aren't even recognizable to me in terms of city, I just know them as "the Etihad Airlines team" or the "AIG team" or whatever.
Boeing should at least sponsor the Jets, because obviously.
Seriously. I'm a fan of Samsung... I mean Chelsea. Anyway, European hockey is even worse.
He looks like someone gave every sticker in the book to their 2 year old and just let them loose on his uniform. What's next, a corporate sponsorship tattoo on his face?
Probably by Year of the Trial-Size Dove Bar.
No. It's the Gator Bowl and will always be the Gator Bowl.
The game should be played in the IRS parking lot.
I swear, these bowls are just determined to make this a reality...
Valar Morghulis Kingslayer Bowl . . . Just after George R. R. Martin has completed the books.
So you mean 20 years from now, right?
You think it'll get to the point of "The Zetas Cartel Money Laundering Bowl"?
In the landscape of college football, everything is changing.
- Bowl names
- New bowls
- BCS/playoff system
- Conference mutilation/16 team conferences
- Player unions
- Night games at the Big House
I'm just going to roll with it. I love UM football. As long as it still exists and remains relatively ttraditional (no uniformz, no f'ing with the helmet in ANY WAY, etc...), I'll just roll with the changes.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but....
