The TCU players are celebrating by tossing boxes of Cheez-It's in the air and they handed Gary Patterson a trophy full of Cheez-It's. Oh yeah, and it's all taking place in an indoor baseball stadium. If the Rose Bowl is the most prestigious bowl game in terms of tradition, class and significance, the Cheez-It Bowl is its antithesis. Call me pretentious but I'm glad that Stanford had nothing to do with this event.
Couldn't disagree more. It was a rare irrelvant bowl that embraced the absurdity of its existence. It actually looked fun (of course, I thought the absurdity of the game was fun too, and the fact the Cheez-It Bowl social media team embraced that too). 90% (maybe 80%) of bowl games are meaningless and uninteresting with no tradition. The only purpose they can possibly serve is to be fun for the the fans and players, and this bowl seemed to get that. I loved that the trophy was a bowl filled with Cheez-Its like the Orange Bowl. This is almost to the level of the Bahamas bowl (https://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/comments/7l...m_here_to/).
