FCS Bowl Games?

[JD720]

I was looking at UNI Football's Wikipedia page and noticed some playoff games listed in our bowl results with the following note:

Note: Since 1981, the NCAA Division I FCS Playoffs Regional Championships were commonly referred to as the Boardwalk Bowl (East Region Championship), Pecan Bowl (Midwest Region Championship), Grantland Rice Bowl (South Region Championship), and Camellia Bowl (West Region Championship).

Has anyone else heard of this? Is this something new they are going to promote with the new playoff format? I don't buy that these games were "commonly referred to as" bowl games since 1981. I just did a quick search on this site for the words Pecan or Boardwalk, so I don't think I'm alone.

Also, I did notice that there were not sources for that, so I suppose it could be someone messing around. However, the pages for all of those bowls have been updated and some of the team pages have been updated like UNI's. It seems like a lot of work for what would be a pretty lame prank.

it has been a while since I've even ever heard of anyone referring to the FCS quarterfinals as "regional finals".

I have heard of UNI going to the Pecan bowl, but I thought that was when we were Div. II or something. The only bowls I know of in FCS football today are the stupid bowls that SDSU names all of their home games (i.e. Cereal Bowl, Beef Bowl)

Junior Colleges do that sort of thing. Their first round playoff games are usually some sort of bowl game. The uni-dome hosts "The Graphic Edge Bowl" (or some name like that) every year.

Danika Patrick would have been a little young to be showing off her junk back in '83.

Danika Patrick would have been a little young to be showing off her junk back in '83.

Not only that, but the Internet in general was only a reality to computer academics and the military (packet switching was invented in order to continue missle silo communications in the event of a nuke attack by the commies).

If Danica was old enough to show her junk in '83, it wouldn't be on GoDaddy.com. It would've been on Swank and Juggs magazines.

I was really hoping someone would pick that up
