Friday Five: The 'best' things about the new Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl
Yes, you read that right: The Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl will be held in St. Petersburg
I get to learn about Gasparilla...
My initial thought was that it was like sarsaparilla but with gasoline in it. That sounds like a terrible drink, and I don't recommend anybody trying it. But then I thought "maybe it isn't meant to drink." Maybe, just maybe, Gasparilla is some kind of amazing fuel that saves the planet when it's used.
Unfortunately, that's not the case. It's something better.
It turns out Gasparilla is the nickname of Jose Gaspar, who is a fictional pirate that plundered the Gulf of Mexico and was based out of southwest Florida. He's also the inspiration for the Gasparilla Pirate Festival that's held every year in Tampa with the first one taking place all the way back in 1904.
So we're all learning a little something about make believe pirates here today, and it's important to learn. So thank you, Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl for teaching us all a little something.

I don't think they've had a good sponsor for this thing yet. This has been the Beef O'Brady and the Bitcoin Bowl already in the past. They play it in Tropicana Field which is laid out for baseball only. Kind of thinking they should fold up shop and go home.Brent Wyrick
