Deadspin
A brilliant discovery by Every Day Should Be Saturday has our minds a-racin'. It turns out that St. Petersberg is getting a bowl game but doesn't have a sponsor yet. Hmm.
OK, so the price tag is a little high:
Organizers will seek a corporate title sponsor who likely will pay between $350,000 and $500,000 a year for the exposure that comes with the bowl.
Hey, that ain't THAT much! Somewhere, someone, some crazy rich human out there has to be willing to pony up a vanity cash grab to get their name on a bowl game. After all, it features teams from the Big East and Conference USA! If no enterprising blog steps up, we need a wild rich human. They have to be out there. We desperately want to see a haroldhamberson.blogspot.com Bowl. Badly.

Gawker HAS to do this. ESPN showing the Deadspin.com Bowl would pretty much be the greatest thing in the history of everything.

I bet there is $400,000 worth of change in the couches of our collective parent's basements. The Deadspin.com Bowl sounds great.

Um, Kige? How do you feel about subsidized federal loans?
@Pittsburgh Sports and Mini Ponies: Harold Hamberson is full of shit.

1100 Deadspin readers @ 300 each - = 330,000.
If we wanted to, we could have the inaugural Deadspin Commenter's Bowl and Rob could do a cheesy halftime award where he gives a reader (please be me) a commenting star.
@Phony Gwynn: I would sell both my kidneys to help make this thing happen.
What about the "Sofa King Awesome Bowl"?
@Magnakai Haaskivi: great minds think alike.

Or, failing $350K from Gawker, let's do a massive fundraiser across Blogfrica and call it the Blogger Bowl.

Whoa, whoa, whoa - I've got plane tickets, scotch and three rub-and-tugs to buy.
I'm buying the bowl for myself. It will simply be called the Matt Bowl. I can't wait to do the little taped pre-game intro, with me standing at midfield, football in hand...
"Hi.
I'm Matt. Official sponsor of the Matt Bowl. I'm hosting this game for one reason, and one reason only... because I care about college football. However, most importantly, I care about you. So kick back in your recliner, couch, love seat, futon, or maybe you're sitting on one of those large lounge chairs with the oversized ottoman that comes with it when you buy it.. have your significant other grab you a beer or two -- although I like to keep a mini-fridge near me -- and enjoy some slightly-better-than mediocre football. "
@VidaBlueBalls:
They must be unaccompanied by an adult.

@That-Dude:

@Yellow Tail Swine: make sure you wear a tacky blazer while doing the intro. nothing says bowl game director like a tangerine orange blazer.
@That-Dude: make it an autographed photo of Balls on the bowl, and you have a deal!
I'd call it the Smoke A.
