Yesterday, the SEC announced its football postseason bowls through 2025, in case you’re interested.
The SEC has extended its current agreements through 2025 with the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, the Outback Bowl in Tampa, the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl in Nashville, the Academy Sports + Outdoors Texas Bowl in Houston, the AutoZone Liberty Bowl in Memphis and the Birmingham Bowl.
In addition, the SEC will continue its relationship with the Belk Bowl in Charlotte, participating in that bowl game in 2021, 2023 and 2025. For the remaining three years of the six-year cycle, SEC teams will participate in the Las Vegas Bowl against a Pac-12 opponent in 2020, 2022 and 2024. The SEC has also added a new bowl partnership with the Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl in Tampa through 2025.
I guess the Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl is the new Shreveport.
Get The Picture 
This is actually pretty bad for Shreveport. The ACC dumped them too, and the PAC-12 (which is currently affiliated) can get out of its affiliation there if Shreveport cannot get another Power 5 conference to get on board with the bowl. Maybe the Big 12 might sign back on?

I’d say the Birmingham Bowl is the new “please, don’t send us THERE” bowl destination. At least Tampa has Bern’s Steak House and Mons Venus. Birmingham makes Macon look like Paris.

Mons Venus on South Dale Mabry just up the road from the stadium. Never heard of it.

Plus, the Press Box is right down Dale Mabry on the other side of the I-275 from that place that we’ve both never heard of.

Tampa is about 30 degrees warmer and has Cigar City Brewing down the street, but Birmingham would be a homecoming for Coach Pruitt.

I’m partial to the steaks at Charley’s but Bern’s is a tough overall experience to beat,

Having spent a lot of time in both cities, I would say “Birmingham makes Macon look like Birmingham”.

There are better steak houses than Bern’s in most every middle sized, and up, cities in America. When a steak house is better known for its wine list than its steaks, look for another place.

I understand San Francisco is hosting the 2021 “Tranny Bowl”. ESPN will include Ru Paul and Beth Mowns as the announcers. The SEC has given Dan Mullen and his team an open invitation to that bowl game.

The Vegas bowl would be exciting for all of us Dawgs on the left coast except that I don’t plan on the Dawgs ever playing there against the 12-Pac. Ought to be funny seeing all of the folks from aubrin or f-u wandering the strip.

Are jorts allowed on the strip? I realize in Vegas pretty much anything goes, but even there they have a limit at some point. I figure that would violate even the most lenient decency standards. This may keep FU from an invite.
