Independence Bowl gets new sponsor

You are an SEC team. You had some good games, some horrible ones, and at the end of November you sit with a 6-6 record and an irritated fan base. What is a better reward than a late December trip to Shreveport?

For those teams making the trek to northern Louisiana, they will encounter a new sponsor for the Independence Bowl, which last had the oil company PetroSun gracing the logo. Also, the bowl is notorious for, during a period in the ’90s, being called the “Poulan Weedeater Independence Bowl.”

The new sponsor is none other than Advocare, which makes, erm, “performance enhancing” supplements. As the blog Friends of the Program points out, “I imagine that the bowl gift bags will need to submit a urine sample before being passed out next year.”

So, Carolina fans, get ready to book your tickets to the “Advocare 100 Independence Bowl,” and be sure to take along some clean wee, just in case.
