Every football player dreams of playing in the Toilet Bowl, held annually in Flushing, NY. It's where you really feel the flush of victory. Every "turd down" is crucial.

In high school forensics, I did an original humorous speech based on a faux interview with a football player who had just won a playoff to get into the Toilet Bowl. His team had a game plan he thought would "blow the lid off the Toilet Bowl," and "wipe out" the opposing team. The T-B MVP would have a "brush" with fame.....you get the idea...

They were a reward for a very good season. Even with a decent 7-4 record, when 11 games was the norm, a bowl wasn't necessarily in your future. Now win half your games and you're guaranteed a spot in the Tutti Frutti Flavored Pork Rinds Bowl. Money has destroyed college football.

There as many and you had to have a very good record. I remember Pitt under Johnny Majors and Penn State under Joe Paterno. a 7-4 season would be a wash out. I do like your idea of a Tutti-Frutti Bowl or a Pork Rinds Bowl being used for some of the games today.

... and there are 133 teams in NCAA Div 1 football. Arithmetic tells us that almost two-thirds of teams (65%) will be invited to a bowl game.

Which I'd say makes them meaningless, but I've never really been a fan of NCAA football, or large playoff systems.

Glacier Bay is Home Depot's house brand for plumbing fixtures. The game will feature the two worst teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision and will be played at the University of Maine's stadium on December 30. The winner of the game will receive a nice trophy. The loser will receive a real toilet, still in the box, that they will have to return before next year's game.

49. Speaking of the Duke's Mayo Bowl...
Thu Jan 4, 2024, 07:52 PM
Jan 2024

I was rolled up on SiriusXM's NASCAR channel and two guys - I think it was Mike Bagley and Pete Pistone - were discussing this very game. Apparently it's nothing but a two-hour commercial for Duke's Mayo, and they were complaining about that. The first thing that went through my mind was, "doesn't that kinda describe a NASCAR race?" I mean, I really like watching NASCAR races - I've been to five in person - but when "The Axalta Chevrolet" (Axalta makes car paint) stops in Pit Lane for "Sunoco fuel and four Goodyear tires" before it goes out in front of the "Busch Light Ford" and the "NAPA Auto Parts Chevrolet," and these guys are huge spokesmen for that sport, ya gotta wonder what their complaint about a two-hour commercial for mayonnaise is!
