Humanitarian Bowl gains prestige? 10-4, good buddy
The Humanitarian Bowl is played in Boise, Idaho... on a blue field... in the dead of December... (did I mention it's in Idaho?!)... in a game now sponsored by Roady's Truck Stop.
Executives with the bowl played on the blue turf at Boise State University announced Wednesday a new three-year partnership with Idaho-based Roady's Truck Stop. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Face it - you can't put lipstick on a pig.

Cute LOL.
In reality, it's good that the blue-collar
sector is being recognized. The sports world as
a whole is turning into a fraternity of sell-outs
that are more known for their roids, extasy pills,
cokes, playboy behavior, and whatever gawdy
habits.....not to mention the financial balooning.I've spent 7 years driving those rigs off and on.
This gives me a reason to turn on the TV for that
bowl game. Before that, I could've cared less.Doug said:

I'm not laughing cuz my team may end up there. And any bowl game is fine. When the wife wants you to justify season tixx you say hey they had a winning record and they won their bowl. But I remember a few years ago it had a different name and my wife laughed at me.

There was a time my Mountaineers would have welcomed any bowl invitation, and that was with 6-5 and 7-4 records. So, trust me, if they were to wind up only invited there, they'd go.
BTW, one actually can put lipstick on a pig, and polish a turd, though maybe not at the same time. The question is, why would one want to???

I can't stand watching any Football game on that Blue Smurf Turf let alone a Bowl Game...I probably get through one quarter and then go searching for another game on another channel. How did Boise get a Bowl Game anyway? I think Autzen Stadium would be a great site for one of these Bowl Games. It has far superior facitilites to those that Boise State has to offer! Go, Ducks!

Boise got a bowl game because the area (600,000 within a 25-mile radius) supports it. That support is there whether the home team makes it or not. Of course last year, the Broncos were off in Glendale winning the Fiesta Bowl, yet nearly 30,000 came out to watch Nevada battle Miami of Florida. The NCAA looks at those kind of things.

Rugged as it is, you couldn't call this the Iron Man Bowl; more suited is the Cobalt Man Bowl. Given the geography and time of year it's played, a team's balls would have to be blue by game's end. (I know; this can be taken more than one way. Trust me; I meant it only one way.)

Yea yea yea. Laugh it up. That is exactly what I did when I heard Roady's was going to sponsor the Hum bowl. First of all, I asked who the hell is Roadys.
Well, my friends, it gets curioser and curioser. It seems a local entity, that has been booking independent truckers for return trip loads so that they would'nt have to run empty, has bought into almost 400 hundred truck stops and now has revenue of over a billion dollars.
That is correct. 1,000,000,000 dollars. No small potatoes, excuse the pun. This bowl will have as much money behind it as the B.C.S. bowls.
They are in the process of putting up Roady signs in all the new stops and most are on the East coast and within ACC cities.This really could be big.
I don't know if the Bowl payout will change this year but look for it to go up if this thing flies. I really do love truck stops now. That is a big ten four good buddy.
