Florida International University in Miami is facing Temple in the Gasparilla Bowl, which is played tonight at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg.
Here’s a preview of the game.
We ain't goin' nowhere, we ain't goin' nowhere, we can't be stopped cuz it's Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl for life.
It's a bowl game with my favorite sponsor and name combination of all time, and it features Temple and Florida International. And it needs to have Puff Daddy perform at halftime or else I'm not sure what the purpose of life is.
If all of that isn't a strong enough sell for you, what if I told you that this was the first time in college football history that Temple and FIU were playing one another? That's right; it's the matchup you've waited your entire life for. You don't want to miss this because you were spending time with your family or something. That would be tragic.
