Most of those bowl names are just horrible.
No one would want to bring home the Cheez-It Bowl Trophy.

Iowa vs Florida in the Outback would be round 4.

News flash. The acceptance of a bowl bid is not to reward the fans. It is a reward for the players.
How do you think a vote would come out, even if the bowl is not as attractive as you would like it to be, if that vote was put to the players? Another game. More practice. A nice trip. A nice hotel. Good food.
The critics who yell that there are too many bowls, too many meaningless bowls, have no say, except to stay home. OK. (Well, on the other hand, there IS the Pinstripe Bowl...)

The Pinstripe should be put to bed. High likelihood of cold weather, poor sightlines, baseball field not designed for cold weather use (no underground heating coils) not the best neighborhood, etc.
If bowl officials insist on having a bowl game in the NYC area at least have it in a football stadium.

I want an Iowa t shirt from the Bad Boy Mowers Gaspirilla Bowl.
Nothing better than that.

Would be fine with the Holiday Bowl since we haven't played in it sine 1991. Please, no Outback Bowl again

The acceptance of the bowl bid is to bring in money.
I don't think it would make any difference. At least Iowa would win.

You would have loved the 1995 Washington Huskies because that's basically what they did. They didn't want to be in El Paso and it showed. We stomped a mudhole in them. 1984 Freedom Bowl may have been the same synopsis. We stomped a mudhole in Texas as well.

Forget the game for a moment. Wouldn't you rather be in Florida sun in January than in Iowa where it's colder than a witches ---?????????

No, I have grown to hate the Outback Bowl.

Well, sort of. I think I recall looking at articles post bowl game that summarized our expenses against what we were paid for the game and we really did not make much $$. But, I think going to a bowl, any bowl, is more about recognition and more practice time, plus an opportunity for the players to enjoy a bowl trip.

We're going Nashville next summer. Five married couples are renting a house on a lake. I was there in 2015, but just passed through on our way to the Smoky Mountains. This will be a real trip to Music City.
