Gasparilla Bowl

What's a Gasparilla?  What's a Bad Boy Mower? Why are they playing this game?  So many questions that can only be answered by watching this clash of AAC and C-USA teams.

Gasparilla is some sort of pirate themed Mardi Gras like party in the Tampa area, so it's only appropriate this game was moved from Tropicana Field (or whatever it's called these days) to Raymond James Stadium with its pirate ship. Yes, there were pirates present at the game, they may have made up half of the attendance.

Bad Boy Mowers are some kick ass looking giant lawn mowers.  Meet their head of marketing, on a Bad Boy mower.  I don't remember his name and don't really care to look it up.


The commercials for these lawnmowers were the best part of the game.  Son No. 2 was watching and said he wanted a Bad Boy mower.

Gasparilla Bowl - Marshall vs. South Florida

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. While I wouldn't write a thousand words about this game, this picture does tell the story.


Yeah, the Bulls were not good. If you want a recap, you can find one right here. I watched most of it.

Marshall 38  South Florida 20

What Did I Eat:  A few chicken tenders and a couple taquitos.

Bowl Swag:  Gift suite.  I guess they can't afford to give each player a Bad Boy mower, the push mower starts at $1,099!  Come on Gasparilla Bowl, do better than a gift suite.


My Pick:  Marshall, I'm now 7-1.
