College football bowl thread: Days of Signs and Roses

Is greyshirting still a thing?

 

I am today years old to learn there’s blue and green shirts

 

There appear to be a few more.
The Miami Beach Bowl (2014-16) migrated to Frisco, Texas and is known as the Frisco Bowl.
The Oahu Bowl (1998-2000) moved to Seattle, where it played for two years before being pronounced dead.
And who can forget the game once known as the MagicJack St. Petersburg Bowl? It moved across the bay to Tampa in 2018 and is now known as the Gasparilla Bowl.
There may be many others for all I know.

 

Like they give a shit. Increase those sponsor dollars and TV ratings. All is good.

 

Daddy should have named the boy Sue, but it looks like he toughened up anyway.

Actually, the family should have changed its name long ago. I still recall, decades later, an engagement announcement (remember those?) in the newspaper (and those?) in which the woman was on her way to becoming Mrs. Rape. Wondered then, still wonder now, how she felt about that.

EDIT: Looks like I'm a few pages behind on this thread ...

 

Emerald Bowl/Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl at the Giants' ballpark became the Redbox Bowl at Levi's Stadium, and then died.

 

This doesn’t make a lot of sense:

Quarterback Malachi Nelson, the No. 1 recruit in the 2023 class, just committed to transfer to Boise State.

 

A dude I know changed his last name when he got married. He grew up with the last name Dick, and changed it to Dickson. He didn’t want his kids to go through what he had gone through in school.

 

Fifth grade.

Had a girl transfer into our small Catholic grade school when he family moved from Kansas.

Mary Elizabeth Dick.

She didn’t last the year.

 

"Sunrise, folks! Woo-hoo!"

 

Lincoln Riley started shopping the portal for QBs, so Nelson hit the portal himself.

He'll likely start at Boise State, so it's probably a decent move.

 

Don't forget the Silicon Valley Football Classic in San Jose 2000-2004. Some genius thought playing it in Spartan Stadium on New Years Eve night was a great idea. Good crowd the first year with a Destiny's Child concert (before Beyonce went solo), but crowds and ratings gradually plummeted afterward. 5,494 attended the last one between Troy and Northern Illinois, which kicked off 20 minutes late due to a power outage.
