Tropicana > Minute Maid.

Tropicana comes from Bradenton, Florida while Minute Maid is a subsidiary of Coca-Cola out of Atlanta.

Tropicana is not from concentrate while MM is crap.


UPS will be the sponsor!

[Crucifax Autumn]

Thething missed in all this humor is that fed ex are bastards that don't want to sponsor ANY college football, or so it seems at least.

[badger]

With as much adspace as they've got going on ESPN, I'd say either Fathead or Under Armour should get a bowl game.

(I vote fathead)

:les: WELCOME TO THE FATHEAD ORANGE BOWL! [hairGel]

If we all chipped in we could become sponsors of the SoonerFans.com Orange Bowl . . .

[goingoneight]

How about sponsors save their names for the commercials... you know... like it used to be?

[GottaHavePride]

I'd dig it if it was sponsored by Orange (a European mobile phone carrier). Then it could just be The Orange Bowl.

No, it would be the "Orange Cell Phone Bowl" or something similar.

Anyone here ever buy or use a product because they sponsored a bowl game?

You go out and buy a new bottle of Brut after last year's Sun Bowl?

You gotta sell a lot of bottles of orange juice to justify that sponsorship expense.

Exactly... the best move so far is by FedEx, who likely will remain in commercial spots during all football this fall, but they've quit blowing millions to have that name plastered over every pregame show, score update, halftime, etc.

Question: Did anybody watch that movie they kept advertising during the OU/WVU game? I didn't.

British Petroleum Oil Orange Bowl would be a nice gesture with the oil sludge washing up on Miami's beaches by January.

LOL! Good one Chuck! :D

[badger]

It seems like with mid tier bowls that sponsors have ties to the host cities and are sponsoring out of civic duty.

These major bowls, on the other hand, not sure they get much out of being a namesake sponsor... they just get repeated mentions.

Trivia: Our Rose Bowl was actually the Rose Bowl Sponsored by Playstation 2. The players all got Playstation 2's as a bowl gift. The next year, at the Nokia Sugar Bowl, the players got Nokia N-Gages. Guess with video game system they kept and which one ended up on eBay after the game :D

The Philip Michael Thomas-Miami Vice Where Is He Now Bowl.

The Vivid Video Bowl. Highest. Ratings. EVAR.

Furniture.com said they got so much national business after sponsoring a bowl there was no way they could keep up with production or effectively ship all the orders, etc.

[Boarder]

There's one. One out of what, 30 bowls? Over how many years? And how much $$? And what was the furniture.com bowl?

[tulsaoilerfan]

I freakin hope Tostitos; i'm sick of seeing us waste company money when most of us route people are still driving around trucks that are nothing but sweatshops in the summer time

[Stitch Face]

My bad; it was the galleryfurniture.com bowl. Then it was the Houston bowl. Lasted from 2000-2005.

The Tim Tebow Florida Gator Orange Bowl

Shhhh. Bite yer tongue, young'un. Nouveau riche Timmah will hear you and do it. :eek:

Slightly OT, I'm waiting for Timmah to show up at the site when the slick hits the FL shore for his photo op, er, mass healing of the wildlife, uh, show of support. Yeah that's it - show of support... :cool:

[goingoneight]

Is it crazy to suggest it becomes... The Orange Bowl? Save the ads for commercial breaks. That's the only way it works anyway. Did Gallery Furniture get all that business from plastering their name on everything from the starting lineup to the injury report... or was it the commercials advertising their great deals?

How long before the NFL playoff games each have a hosting sponsor? "Welcome to the Anheiser-Busch/Budweiser.com NFC Championship Game... presented by Verizon, AT&T, Oscar Mayer, Oreo, Nike, Sony and a nice little million thrown in for a shout-out to General Electric."

[KantoSooner]

You could sell half interests to keep the cost down. I can see "The Marlboro/Livestrong Bowl", "The Ford F150/Jiffy Lube Bowl" or maybe the "Humana Heart Hospitals/McDonald's Bowl".

[SoonerShark]

Donald Duck Orange Bowl



That is Disney. It should be a Fox product. Family Guy Bowl or Simpsons Bowl if you want to go current or thoughtful. The Glenn Beck Mein Kampf Bowl if you want to go the route of Fox News.

The Sunsweat Prune Juice Orange Bowl? :D

There has gotta still be some good Cocaine Money floating around down there! The Cali Cocaine Cartel Bowl.

[StoopTroup]

How about the "Holy Crap The Oklahoma Sooners are playing in the Orange Bowl Game again?" Bowl?

You know...if we in fact are selected. Then it can be altered to whoever it is that been there more in the match-up.

[SoonerShark]

The Vivid Video Bowl. Highest. Ratings. EVAR.

I take it that Vivid Video is something lurid?

[RedstickSooner]

I was sorta hoping the National Alliance to End Non Football-Related Posts in Football Forums might sponsor it, but then the guy who heads the thing up was caught up in some sex scandal.

How about Viagra? Isn't it time they sponsored a bowl game?

[SoonerShark]

Shouldn't that be the bowl in Boise with the blue field?

Office Depot is HQ'd down here. Maybe them.

[soonerloyal]

(yet another insert of whatever lame Obama insult pops out, no matter the original subject matter)


*yawn*

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

*yawn*See, here's the deal. Our CinC puts the boot on BP, effectively putting this giant in the oil industry on the ropes. Soonerfans' own Chuck Bao wants BP to sponsor the OB. The name should reflect the approval of the Leader of the "Free" World.

[soonerloyal]

Aw, crap, RLIMC...I just enjoy talking football with ya. I just don't think it always has to be about polytickin'. I'd rather concentrate on what you think about football sometimes. There are other subjects, and almost all of us are pretty darn interesting peeps to each other when DC isn't driving us all crazy.

Stupid pain medicine's making me maudlin. *sniffle*
