There are traditions integral to the sport of college football. There is Touchdown Jesus at Notre Dame and Chief Osceola planting the spear at Florida State. Army and Navy sing their alma maters after the annual rivalry game, and Miami runs out through the smoke.
Celebrating the Chick-fil-A cow zeppelin, the Peach Bowl’s greatest tradition
It’s an awkward-looking cow riding a blimp, and it’s important.
But when College Football is played in Atlanta, we get the cow blimp.
Alarms were raised before this year’s Peach Bowl Playoff semifinal when it seemed that the blimp had been replaced in an unfortunate nod to capitalism. Had Goodyear’s checkbook won the day?
No. No it had not.
In fact, the blimps raced at one point, and guess which blimp won?
It’s also not exclusive to the Peach Bowl. Chick-Fil-A’s kickoff classic also features the blimp.
The cow blimp has been known to drop Chick-Fil-A coupons to the masses, a benevolent bovine wonder in the sky doling out Georgian manna from heaven. Thank you cow blimp for all you’ve done to make college football in Atlanta special.
