You know the St. Petersburg Bowl. It’s the college football bowl game played every year at the Tampa Bay Rays stadium on turf that looks like it came from the Upside Down in Stranger Things. It’s always a stirring time. Now, some news:
College football’s St. Pete Bowl reportedly now the BAD BOY MOWERS GASPARILLA BOWL
Get ready for the greatest show on turf.

What is Bad Boy Mowers?
Bad Boy Mowers’ website is here. The company sells what it calls “the toughest and most powerful mower.” Again, this bowl game is played on turf, but cool.
What is a gasparilla?
Per Urban Dictionary (and slightly NSFW):
a bad ass time where you drink from 8 am till the next day if you make it, kegs, 600,000 people + 7 miles of street parties and some boobs if you have good beads. although there is some significant reason for it , all i know it for is to get wasted and have the best fucking time of your life.
some guy “hey its a saturday in january whats going on ?”
other guy “its fucking Gasparilla you idiot lets get downtown!”
Tampa has an annual event called the Gasparilla Pirate Festival.
And this is now a bowl game?
Apparently so.
The sooner we all index “Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl” into our vocabularies, the better off we’ll all be. This is the third 2017 change to CFB’s bowl schedule. The others:
- The Poinsettia Bowl, long played in San Diego, is dead. That city has lost a lot of football-related things in the last year.
- The Miami Beach Bowl is now the Frisco Bowl, in Frisco, Texas. It had previously been played at Marlins Park in Miami, one of several other baseball stadium bowls.
This one’s scheduled for Dec. 21 at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN. The conference ties are the AAC and Conference USA. The total count of bowl games is at 39, not including the College Football Playoff National Championship.
None has a better name than the Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl.
