[QUOTE="Cuyahoga Falls Eers_rivals, post: 131893514, member: 1759980"] Guaranteed Rate Bowl in Phoenix, Arizona once was called the Copper Bowl (the Cactus Bowl was the first choice, but was dropped and then appeared in 2020) before bowls began selling naming rights. It’s played in Chase Field, a BASEBALL stadium, the home of major league baseball’s Arizona Diamondbacks (as in the dangerous snake). The only other bowl played in a baseball stadium is the Pinstripe Bowl, in legendary Yankee Stadium (imagine, a football game in The House That Ruth Built!). GRB … grrrr! … matches a Big 12 team against a Big 10 team since 2006. This season Bowling Green beat Minnesota, 14-10, so maybe WVU can, too. And only beat Miami of Ohio by 5 points. Don’t hold your breath with this WVU team. So it will be my alma mater, tied for 5th in the Big 12, against the Gophers, tied for 2nd in the Big 10 West division. Better take your No-Doze. The kickoff starts at 10:15 p.m. Eastern time on December 28, which is a Tuesday! WVU was there in 1998, losing to Missouri, 34-31, when it was the Insight Bowl but beat Arizona State, 43-42, when it was the Cactus Bowl. Air Force beat Washington State, 31-21, in the 2019 Cheez-It Bowl. Covid wiped out the 2020 bowl. Not enough teams avoided it to fill out all the bowls. Played as the Copper Bowl from inception through 1996, it was known as the Insight.com Bowl from 1997 through 2001, then the Insight Bowl from 2002 through 2011, the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl for 2012 and 2013, and the Cactus Bowl for the 2014 through 2017 seasons. In 2018 and 2019, the game was known as the Cheez-It Bowl. In 2020, Guaranteed Rate signed on as the title sponsor of the game, renaming it as the Guaranteed Rate Bowl. The first Copper Bowl was played at Arizona Stadium in Tucson on the University of Arizona campus. It changed names so often that they should have a digital sign with lights that can apply the latest name just before kickoff. Domino's Pizza (1990–1991) Weiser Lock (1992–1995) Insight Enterprises (1997–2011) Buffalo Wild Wings (2012–2013) TicketCity (2015) Motel 6 (2016, 2 games) Kellogg's Cheez-It (2018–2019) Guaranteed Rate (2020–present) Its large crowd was 54,247 in the 2011 Insight Bowl when Oklahoma beat Iowa, 31-14. The attendance hasn’t hit 40,000 in the past 6 bowls by whatever names they were called. Not exactly the Rose Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Orange Bowl or Fiesta Bowl but I’m thrilled that my alma mater will be in ANY bowl game, even the Toilet Bowl. And you know I’ll be watching and yawning, because of the time, not because of what I see on the field. God, I hope so. [/QUOTE]
