[QUOTE="18in32, post: 270201, member: 2492"] Yes, it is weird when old bowls fall and new bowls rise. I remember being befuddled by the rise of the Fiesta Bowl and the fall of the Cotton Bowl 20 years ago. But like any business or charity or other organization, the bowls are run by people who sometimes do a good job and sometimes do a bad job. If they do a bad job long enough (in sponsorship, and ticket sales, and match-ups, and whatever) they eventually fall down the pecking order (or disappear altogether). Still, for traditionalists like me, there's always something special about the 'old' bowls – the bowls that once didn't have commercial names. Remember when the old bowls with traditional names would look down their noses at the new bowls with commercial names? The Gator Bowl used to make fun of the GoDaddy.com Bowl and so forth. Thank heavens the powers that be forced the Peach Bowl to go back to the Peach Bowl. I wish the other bowls would realize that de-commercializing their names might add more commercial value to the long-term viability of their bowls than selling out for the highest immediate pay-day.
