It’s a sad day for college football fans who love (largely meaningless) bowl games named after Australian-themed American chain restaurants.
RIP to the Outback Bowl and all the bloomin’ fun it once was because it’s now… the ReliaQuest Bowl. Doesn’t exactly have the same spicy signature bloom sauce-like smoothness of its predecessor.
It’ll still be in Tampa and still at Raymond James Stadium. But gone are the days of bloomin’ onion and coconut shrimp mascots on the sidelines of SEC versus Big Ten/ACC postseason matchups.
