RIP Tony the Tiger
from Tailgate on the Quad Hosted by Belly Up Media Network 🎙
College bowl season just got a little less GR-R-REAT. The Sun Bowl is waving goodbye to Tony the Tiger, and Cheez-It’s jumping ship from the Citrus Bowl. Are the days of absurdly named, snack-sponsored bowls coming to an end? Kevin and Ciarnan are back with the “dumb fan” rundown on what these vanishing brands mean for the sport – and who’s next on the chopping block (defend the Pop-Tarts Bowl at all costs). The guys get into college football chaos, from legendary sponsorships and hilarious bowl name history to the week’s wildest upsets and self-inflicted losses (Oklahoma and Oregon, looking at you). Plus: sideline drama between Steve Sarkisian and Holly Rowe, savage fan bets, and Oregon & Dan Lanning's new James Franklin energy. Is Kevin actually cursing teams with his bad betting luck? Find out which squads have become his latest victims. Subscribe for banter on sideline interview etiquette, fans eating their own (literally), Alabama’s offensive woes, and a closing debate about Miami’s break-up with Adidas. College football is never boring – and the shenanigans just keep piling up.
