The bowl game in Boise is already the laughing stock of the college football world. Events of this week did not help them.
The Boise bowl game signed a three-year naming rights deal with Roady's Truck Stops. The game will be called the Roady's Humanitarian Bowl.
Humanitarian is nice. It was the original title of the bowl game, taking its name from the Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame in Boise. But Roady's?
I have to admit, I had never heard of Roady's Truck Stops. According to their website, it is a chain of independent truck stops.
It's bad enough that teams have to go to the cold and snow of Boise to play in a bowl game on the blue turf. Now, they have to deal with the embarrassment of playing in the Truck Stop Bowl. This makes the Poulan Weed Eater Independence Bowl look high-class. The Weed Eater Bowl is still a laughing stock, though Weed Eater hasn't sponsored the bowl in several years.
A coach will get fired for taking his team to the Roady's Truck Stop bowl this year. Of course, Miami went to this bowl last year, and Larry Coker was fired.
Would you like regular, or diesel?

You can talk schmack all you want about Roady's and Boise, but they are the ones laughing all the way to the bank!
I don't have any right to talk smack about Boise, but I can talk smack about their bowl.
Roady's bought themselves a ton of publicity, for sure.
Maybe the winner of the R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl can play the winner of the Roady's Humanitarian Bowl. :-)
Next thing you know, Love's Country Stores/Travel Stops will be sponsoring a bowl game.
Not Love's ... Flying J! Now, that I would watch! ;) lol
The Flying J Bowl! I'm all over that.
