For some reason this one goes all over me. Most of the corporate sponsors are charitable enough to leave the original name of the bowl in the title. For example the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.

But the bowl "formerly known as the Peach Bowl" is now the Chick-Fil-A bowl. I remember the last time for the Peach Bowl the announcers joking about how they'd be back for the Chick-Fil-A bowl, but wearing peach-colored ties.

BTW, their food isn't any better than their bowl sponsorship. If you have access to a Popeye's you're getting the best fast chicken in the world. KFC is edible. Wouldn't know about El Pollo Loco. Chick-Fil-A is substandard, and they ruined a perfectly good bowl game to boot.

Just my opinion, of course...

When I first moved to Idaho, I was driving to a doctor's appointment when I noticed a Popeye's. That amazed me, how the hell did a Popeye's end up here in Idaho? But, I have to agree, Popeye's is flat-out incredible.

I agree with you above having left the name “Peach Bowl” alone.

But I disagree with you on Chick-fil-a sandwiches. They’re damned good.

There’s not many Popeyes in my area. The few ones we have are located in really bad parts of town.

How does Chick Fil A Peach Bowl sound? I wish the corporations would just leave the names alone. Like the Sugar Bowl is still the Sugar Bowl. Who gives a darn about the sponsor?????

As for Popeyes vs. Chick-Fil-A, I’ll take the latter. The last time I was violently ill (almost four years ago), I had Popeyes for dinner. Can’t even consider having the stuff again. And I had always loved Popeyes. Hubby feels the same way. He was violently ill as well. (I went around 8 years without eating Pringles because of a similar experience.)

KFC makes us sick every time we eat it. Not violently ill, but upset tummy-like feeling. We go back because of the smell outside the restaurant is so enticing. We ALWAYS regret it.

Chick-Fil-A makes really good lemonade unlike the nasty imitation lemonade available at most fast food joints. They also have good party trays. I hate waffle fries! I can’t speak for CFA bowl sponsorships. How can a sponsor ruin a bowl?
