CB&TL plays occasional seasonal songs this time of year, but this is the first time I've ever heard this one associated with it at any place that pipes in music. Kudos to whomever at the company selects the songs.VP81955https://www.blogger.com/profile/11792390726196611188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-23586164052718070712017-12-21T12:42:27.140-08:002017-12-21T12:42:27.140-08:00The Bob Marley Memorial Bowl.

I wouldn't care if one was called, "The Preparation-H Itchy, Inflamed Rectum Bowl" if it was a good game. But that's the problem. Thanks to ESPN and other cable outlets usurping the rights to the major, established bowl games e.g. the Rose Bowl, I no longer get to see any of them. All we get on broadcast T.V. are the minor schools with mediocre records playing in these ridiculously named, Who Gives a Damn(?!) Bowls. Ah, for the good old days when you'd wake up on New Years morning, watch one or more repeats of the Rose Parade on channel 5 and then switch over to the Rose Bowl. But no more. Don't even get me started on the college championship games.Mike Bloodworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04755626259169126800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-43870625985855110662017-12-21T10:10:15.216-08:002017-12-21T10:10:15.216-08:00"Two Girls, One Bowl?""Two Girls, One Bowl?"Dr Loserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12717234136006844887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-26155482461729822882017-12-21T10:09:10.598-08:002017-12-21T10:09:10.598-08:00I quite like "Bad Boy Mowers Bowl."
