Belk, we hardly knew you...

[SWC75]

There are presently 39 FBS bowl games: List of college bowl games - Wikipedia

There are 130 teams. That means that 60% (78/130) of the FBS teams will be in bowl games. Could we still get to one if we finished 5-7?

With the challenges facing bricks and mortar retail it comes as no surprise that Belk is cutting expenses this way.

BOA or Wells Fargo, aka down here as the finance “Crips & Bloods”, will likely be the
next sponsor. That would be ideal.
The Publix-Harris Teeter-Showmars Bowl just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Ha, love me some Showmars! The joint we frequent on Providence Road is always packed.

8 years and I still have no idea what Belk is. Or makes. Or whatever.

I always thought of it as a word for when you throw up in your mouth a little.

Before it was the Belk Bowl, it was the Continental Tire Bowl. We played in it twice as the Tire Bowl, vs. WVU and Pitt (broke Larry Fitzgerald's consecutive game w/a TD reception streak).

Were there any tires burned?

Bojangles Famous Chicken n' Biscuits Bowl

Well, Bojangles actually sells a "Jambalaya Bowl", so...

unfortunately, that has absolutely NOTHING to do with Charlotte. How about this:

CHEEZY and very Southern!

The Carolina Bowl sponsored by grits

Ooh, can we call it the "Bowl of Grits" instead?

 

[Alsacs]

Gotta need it, gotta want it Bojangles Bowl.

Yes, in theory.

But the 5-7 pool is then ranked by APR for bowl eligibility, and we'd have quite a few other teams potentially listed ahead of us in that regard.

So, the odds of it "rolling down" far enough for us to be chosen, would be VERY low.

More than 150,000 fans watched a college-football game played at Bristol Motor Speedway

The Battle at Bristol set a college-football attendance record with 156,990 fans in attendance.

They've done it before.

Yes. I heard about that constantly the year leading up to it. Such is life in Knoxville.

We need a Panera Bread Bowl.

I don’t care for Bojangles anything but Bo-Tatos are a national treasure.

Mellow Mushroom, Food Lion, and other awful southern franchise bowl

Pretty sure there was a Mellow Mushroom Bowl when I was in college. I can’t remember.

Meh...Hellman's or nothing.

It'll be awkward when UNC plays in the Duke Bowl every year.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

They couldn't get this guy?

 

[Pyle]

Duke's Mayo? I thought the whole country either bought Helllmans, Kraft, or generic. It's like a different country down there

 

[rocklloyd]

never heard of the stuff.

I never even heard of Duke's Mayonaisse.

If the Yankees ever get sick of sponsoring the Pinstripe, maybe Hellman's (which originated in NYC), can take over sponsorship and set up a regional condiment rivalry for the ages.
