    Matress Mac has pulled his name off of Houston's Galleryfurniture.com Bowl.

    Someone now needs to step up or this bowl is history. Quite frankly, with the caliber of teams being brought in it needs to fade away.

    Ouch!!!

    Those Aggies have fallen on hard times when even Old School, with all his class, is raggin' on them. I believe the bowl formerly known as Shanna, I mean Gallery Furniture.com, will move up two spots in the big 12 peaking order and loss the CUSA if some big corporation steps up like Enron.

    Sorry...didn't mean to sound like I was raggin' on the Aggies. But you have to admit the game wasn't set up to get the top teams in both conferences.

    As mentioned, the Reliant Stadium may be the only thing that saves this bowl. That will be an attractive venue for somebody.

    I've got $20 for the CC.net Bowl name fund.

    (I just wanna be line judge, though):D

    Yeah, the winner gets $10 million and a team bus <i>from the loser</i>. The losers stand outside the stadium and hitchhike home.

    :D

    Major,

    Off topic. Love the sig.

    Old School,

    No reason to be sorry. It is the truth and sometimes its hard to swallow. I was the one actually using your words to take a cheap, but oh so sweet shot at the aggies.

    Reminds me of that school teacher that is being repremanded for saying that Arabs were behind the terrorist attack which is true and not showing prejudice. She's not verbally abusing anyone if that's all she said, but since I wasn't there I can't say she didn't do other stuff.

    Let's hear it for the Swirve.com Bowl!

    Gotta admit it sounds better than the galleryfurniture.com bowl...

    No DOTCOM DOTNET please.

    I think the Reliant Clutchcity Bowl would be a great name. Most would just drop the Reliant part when talking about the game.

    DV,

    I believe the Joe Joe Bowl would be a worse name than the GalleryFurniture.com bowl....well maybe you're right.

    Actually, you could make YOUR bowl game into a hip name like: The Joe(2) *squared* Bowl. That's cool and mathematical!:D

    Sounds like Mattress Mac is waiting to pounce on the Astros field naming rights if he can get them cheap when Enron wakes up and smells the SEC-brewed coffee.
