Who else is pumped for Independence Bowl? Duke vs Temple

Where is it?

Are the Mudbugs still around?

May get 20,000 people max for that game. Probably a little on the high side though.

I think it’s a smart move picking two out of town teams that usually don’t go to bowls and will actually have to travel and spend money.

They are basketball schools though. So who knows.


The I bowl lost a lot when they lost the SEC tie in. They need that back.

A garbage matchup, in a garbage city, in a garbage dump stadium. Who could ask for more

That’s a terrible matchup for a terrible bowl in a terrible stadium in a terrible city.

Growing up in Shreveport, this was always a highlight for me, especially being granted passes on the sideline due to family and friends on the I bowl committee. Highlights being when LSU came to town. We've had some outstanding match ups throughout the years and it's actually one of the oldest bowl games. OU played here the year before they won the NC in 99'. Eli Manning and ole Miss with Eli at QB played Nebraska. A&M played Georgia in 09' with Von Miller. Saban brought bama his first year. We had the blizzard bowl in 00' with A&M and moo St. Was hoping walk-ons could bring a better purse to move up in selection order. Every few years we'll get a good matchup like Miami and South Carolina but it's otherwise shite like this year. Even so, you might get to see a future Hall of Famer like when Farve came with Southern Miss.
