The buzz going around is about New Motor City Bowl Sponsorship. With the Auto industry in full retreat the Bowl Committee is shopping around for new sponsorship. Two of the Big Three have been through various stages of Bankruptcy and Ford is enjoying a nice, albeit unused, credit line from Washington change is in the air... And it smells great.

George Perles, A Motor City Bowl Executive told the Free Press.

"We're trying to make a proposal to Little Caesars, We don't know anything, but maybe in a couple of weeks."

I hope they find some dignified name, such things are a rarity now but the 'Motor City Bowl' had a nice ring to it. Maybe something Roman like the Parthenon Bowl, The Forum Bowl, the Colosseum Bowl, or the Gladiator Bowl.

We should know by the Time the season starts what the new name will be, but 2009 might very well be the last Motor City Bowl.
