The Pop Tarts Bowl trophy is a toaster shaped like a football; 'Merica!

It is probably the most entertaining post game bowl presentation.

Why is the independence bowl in Shreveport? What does Shreveport have to do with independence?

The Independence Bowl is a post-season National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)-sanctioned Division I college footballbowl game that is played annually each December at Independence Stadium in Shreveport, Louisiana. The Independence Bowl was named because it was inaugurated in 1976, the year of the United States Bicentennial. The bowl's current title sponsor is Radiance Technologies, per an agreement announced for the 2020–2025 editions.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_Bowl#cite_note-2"><span>[</span>2<span>]</span></a> Only one prior edition of the bowl, in 2013, has not used Independence Bowl branding.

I thought maybe it had been started in Philadelphia and they moved because of World War II or something weird like that.

Did it have a cord?

I have watched bits of only a small number of bowl games this season and have seen a ton of dropped passes. UT just had a drop that could have made an early difference in the game.

Then Liberty Bowl was poorly played and sloppy.
When the commentators are talking about the most penalties in the game or the most turnovers in a game it's not a good sign.

Pop tart bowl might have become the new “it” bowl.

I have had bowel movements more entertaining than this bowl game.

LOL @ the strip sack and TD by Illinois

Bowl movements so to speak.

Not that I care, but UT used to play better than this. What has happened?

Edited to Add: As UT has back to back runs for yardage.

The Liberty Bowl started in Philly.

Indiana beat Illinois 63-10...

 

[RTR2u]

I think UT just got mad.

 

[AlistarWills]

Why can’t we have more home vs home unis in these bowl games. Black and white TV is no longer a thing.

Vols TD. Bishop runs tough in this possession and gets the 6 points.

Vols 21 - 24 Illini, early in Q4.

Vols linebackers and secondary seem to be giving a lot of effort. Their D-line is playing like they don't want to get hurt.
