It's great news for the Russell Athletic Bowl, as it means the long-awaited fixes -- which will amount to basically an entirely new stadium for a fraction of the price -- will be in place during the next contract cycle.

Shirts, signage, stationary...probably some other things that don't begin with s. This is the bowl's first name change in eight years, the longest stretch in an admittedly patchwork title history. By the time Florida Citrus Sports purchased the game in 2001, it had seen four different names (Blockbuster Bowl, Carquest Bowl, MicronPC Bowl and MicronPC.com Bowl). At the time, it was among the lowest tier of bowl games in a field of 25. Starting in 2001 it became the Tangerine Bowl, a throwback to the old days of Orlando's original bowl game (now the Capital One Bowl). We had two title sponsors under the Tangerine name (Visit Florida and Mazda) before Champs Sports came on board in 2004 and helped bring the game to the next level.

This process has been bubbling for a couple of months now but it's just like bowl week: no amount of late nights and early mornings can avoid the pandemonium of game day (or in this case, launch day). It's straight downhill today; forget the breaks and just worry about steering.
