Is their humor that shitty? Are they still angry at Chick Fil A's CEO for hating on the gays? Their way of protesting not being open on Sunday? Or our fan base's attempt to diminish the bowl?

We don't call the Discover Orange bowl the Credit Card Bowl, or the Outback bowl the Bloomin Onion Bowl...

What gives?

Because its a crappy bowl. It has nothing too do with the CEO's stance on gay rights.

I call it the Peach Bowl. Because it's the Peach Bowl regardless of what anyone else says.

Easier to say and type - has nothing to do with trying to be funny. The fact that you don't like it is just kind of a bonus.

Because they took out the "peach bowl" part. And that's what they get, a cheapened bowl.

Love the food, hate that they took peach out of it.

I heard the CEO of Chic-fil-a thought "Peach Bowl" sounded too gay.

Well now I do! Thanks. Your shitty post just might change the football world as we know it.

Personally I don't know why anyone calls in of the bowls anything other than the bowl game. I don't care why anyone names it. Why the frick does any football game get named? LSU vs Clemson. That is what it is!

What would you think if McDonald's came in and bought exclusive rights to the cotton bowl, and had it renamed, simply, "the McDonald's Bowl"

It sounds, and is, cheesy as hell.

this.

And I think fans have been calling it the chicken bowl for quite a bit longer than the whole imbroglio about gays has been an issue. Chic Fil A has sponsored the bowl for some time, but in 2006 (I think) they dropped the name "Peach Bowl" entirely... I would guess that marketing move elicited the chicken bowl response (basically, a touch of sarcasm replacing peach with chicken). Had the bowl originally been called the Chic Fil A Bowl, it may not have drawn that response.

And it still is a pretty good bowl game. Some LSU fans might be pissy about playing in that bowl now (the loud minority that thinks we have vastly superior talent and should be in the BCSCG every year)... so perhaps the chicken part picks up a note of derision on this board. I think that's the tone you're picking up on.
