OT: Citrus Bowl name returns

Submitted by Wolverine Devotee on

Just noticed this the other day. 

Nice to see the Citrus Bowl name is back. Sure, it seems silly with the sponsor but I'm glad the corporations have allowed the traditional bowl names back.

It appears Capital One is now the sponsor of the Orange Bowl. 

Introducing the Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl

Maybe we can play in this bowl again some day. 

Here's the new Orange Bowl logo.

And the Fiesta

Boo to those. I grew up with the FedEx, Nokia and Tostitos logos for the Orange, Sugar and Fiesta Bowl respectively.

The mention of the Bluebonnet Bowl made me take a Youtube trip down memory lane to the 33-14 win over UCLA in 1981. Butch Wolfolk was the MVP, the defense was dominating, and Steve Smith hit Anthony Carter with a 50-yard TD strike (and why anybody EVER tried single-coverage on AC is mind-boggling.) My favorite part was LB Paul Girgash (great name, BTW) picking off a tipped pass.

Announcers for the game were Ray Scott and Lee Corso, on the Mizlou TV Network. And over the final shot of Bo trotting off the field, they played "Boogie Wonderland" by Earth, Wind & Fire - because nothing says "smashmouth college football" like disco.

The Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl is now a better bowl? It was a good bowl to play in according to my Sparty friends, but when we played in it they called it the crappy Soup Bowl,
Down with Sparty!!!!
