<p>Now that we've got the sponsoring/Christmas college bowl theme in place...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My nominations: </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Worst Named Bowls of this season -</p>
<p>Beef O'Brady's Bowl (yeah, the original matter-of-fact incarnation as the St. Petersburg Bowl is somewhat dull, but really?) - St. Petersburg, FL</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl - San Francisco, CA (The prior sponsor sounds more catchier - The Emerald Nut Bowl )</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Worst-Named Set of College Bowl Sponsors (historical):</p>
<p>Poulan Weed Eater/Sanford/Mainstay/PetroSun/AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl - Shreveport, LA</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Any other dubiously-sponsored events you'd like to throw in this sponsored thread?</p>

<p>I like Beef O'Brady's.  They've got some good burgers, and their onion rings are great.</p>

<p>I always liked the Emerald Nut Bowl - GT played there a couple of times.  Of course, I always thought it would have been more aptly named the Emerald Fruit & Nut Bowl. <span><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>

<p>Sadly, the International Bowl in Toronto is no more....I think it was because of its boring name.</p>

<p>It seems most US college football players not only didn't have a passport, but they couldn't spell passport. This meant they could have come to Canada to play, but would have been put in one of our many refugee camps since they wouldn't be able to return to the USA without a passport.</p>
