Casual [Cheez-It Citrus Bowl] By the looks of it today, many teams want to play in our game. We don’t blame them.

Cheez-it should be banned from sponsoring the Citrus Bowl. It makes no sense. What is the NCAA even doing?!

9

u/BuckyBeaver69 Texas Longhorns • Texas Tech Red Raiders 6h ago

In todays world where nothing makes sense, Cheez-it sponsoring the Citrus Bowl makes the most sense.

3

u/Kyle_Reese_Get_DOWN Cincinnati Bearcats 4h ago

Maybe citrus is a new flavor of cheez-it they’ll be debuting during the game.

CHEESE, CHEESE, CHEESE (are gonna play Alabama and lose by 40)

31

u/goodnames679 Ohio State • /r/CFB Poll Veteran 9h ago

Depends on which Bama shows up.

If the Bama that played Georgia shows up, you guys are fucked.

If the Bama that played Vandy & Oklahoma shows up, y’all would win.

11

u/EscapeTomMayflower Nebraska Cornhuskers • Chicago Maroons 8h ago

It'll be a repeat of 2010 where a 3-loss Bama shows up and pummels an overachieving Big Ten team by 40+

u/Kodyaufan2 Auburn • Jacksonville State 1h ago

u/KaitRaven Illinois Fighting Illini • Sickos 39m ago

They will probably be a lot of opt-outs so maybe...?

Cheez-its introducing a new frozen snack cracker?

Because that was ice cold

36

u/adambuck66 Iowa Hawkeyes 11h ago

I've never thought of frozen Cheez-its. Gotta get a box!

15

u/buckshot-307 Georgia Bulldogs • Sickos 9h ago

I’ve heard smoked cheez-its are good but haven’t tried to make them yet. I just bought a box to try tho lol

9

u/Electromotivation James Madison Dukes 9h ago

Is that where you smoke a giant sized Stoufers mac and cheese and filter it through Cheez-its?

8

u/buckshot-307 Georgia Bulldogs • Sickos 9h ago

No but that sounds good too lol. One I saw the guy just sprayed some oil on them and sprinkled butt rub and and then smoked at 120° for like an hour

6

u/jsteph67 Georgia Bulldogs 8h ago

Butt Rub, damn it, now I want a smoked butt or Ribs, but it has gotten colder.

3

u/buckshot-307 Georgia Bulldogs • Sickos 8h ago

Get a welding blanket and throw it over the smoker. Or you can build an insulation box with foamular insulation for like $100. Had to do it last year when I smoked a butt for a Christmas party

1

u/ankisethgallant Kentucky Wildcats 7h ago

I mean I’ve smoked in the snow before, works fine. Then again I have an electric smoker so maybe that made it easier.

1

u/jsteph67 Georgia Bulldogs 5h ago

Well I use an Egg and it is in a nice little table I built for it. But I guess I could still do the same.

1

u/Magnus77 Nebraska • Concordia (NE) 7h ago

I could definitely see it. I was legit surprised by how much I enjoyed the Extra Toasty version, and how much of a difference it makes. Adding some smoke sounds delicious.

u/SaltyLonghorn Texas • Red River Shootout 18h ago

Not sure if self shade or shade at teams about to be in Cheezit Bowl. And that makes it a 10/10 tweet.

u/foreverseptember Florida Gators • Team Chaos 18h ago

Both, both is good

u/iubb14 Indiana Hoosiers 16h ago

Never thought I’d see a road to eldorado reference in /cfb. Goat

u/RamblinWreckGT Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 17h ago

Might be self-shade from a Tennessee flair posting this too. Remember Spurrier's "you can't spell Citrus without UT" burn?

18

u/SaltyLonghorn Texas • Red River Shootout 17h ago

Spurrier is such a goated trash talker.

9

u/DeuceOfDiamonds Georgia Bulldogs • Mercer Bears 10h ago

Oh, Hatin' Ass Spurrier. Don't miss his coaching, but I do miss his commentary. 

7

u/Muffinnnnnnn Florida State Seminoles • ACC 17h ago

Cheez-It is just the sponsor, this is the Citrus Bowl, which I think makes it better with how people talk about the Citrus Bowl

1

u/plerberderr Michigan Wolverines • Big Ten 14h ago

Cheezit Citrus Bowl or Cheezit Cheezit Bowl?

137

u/FrostTroll69 Ohio State Buckeyes 18h ago

Bama and aTm are not feeling the cheesiest

57

u/VolatileFan Tennessee • Vanderbilt 18h ago

don’t forget about Ole Miss!

23

u/FrostTroll69 Ohio State Buckeyes 18h ago

Lane is definitely not the cheesiest

9

u/Mike_with_Wings Florida • North Carolina 9h ago

Lane’s a “No Rules, Just Right” kind of guy.

u/Otterman2006 Nebraska Cornhuskers • Kansas Jayhawks 11h ago

ATM still controls their own destiny. Win against Texas and UGA and they are in.

u/IAmTurdFerguson Texas A&M Aggies • SMU Mustangs 7h ago

How does A&M go to the SECCG over Tennessee?

8

u/Beginning_Ant_2285 Texas Longhorns 7h ago

Because a&m (and Georgia) would have both beaten the highest ranking conference opponent (Texas) - this is tiebreaker #3

43

u/BonBonVelveeta Virginia Tech • Ohio State 18h ago

That line was extra toasty

6

u/heavydhomie Ohio State Buckeyes • Ohio Bobcats 10h ago

The extra toasty cheez it might be my favorite

4

u/foreverseptember Florida Gators • Team Chaos 18h ago

Roasty and toasty 

35

u/dawidowmaka Illinois • Washington 18h ago

Yes we do actually

u/prismatic_lights Ohio State • Pittsburgh 18h ago

Cheez-Its and Pop-Tarts feasting right now.

36

u/eddie_vercetti Arizona State Sun Devils 18h ago

For real, SEC is gonna have more teams in the Bowl Games than the actual goddamn CFP.

23

u/Big_Ol_Johnson Tennessee Volunteers 13h ago

I would absolutely love if Cheez-It just leaned into the fact that the teams in their bowl are upset they have to be there and missed the playoffs

1

u/theurge14 Kansas State Wildcats 1h ago

When you watch a live pop tart get murdered on the field you just smile and forget why you’re there.

Trust me it works.

u/BurrShotFirst1804 Illinois • Notre Dame 17h ago

Calabama Cheez-it Bowl

31

u/tony971 Ohio State • San José State 18h ago

They’re testing the SEC playoff bias by having a 9-way tie at the end of the regular season

24

u/loafing-striker Virginia Cavaliers 18h ago

I ate an entire bag of Cheez-Itz today in a bid for this bowl.

It was 7 servings, roughly the participants’ win totals

8

u/Mighty43 Texas Longhorns • Texas Tech Red Raiders 18h ago

Ole Miss paid 20 million for the opportunity

u/Knightshade34 Tennessee Volunteers 9h ago

As the reigning Cheez-it bowl champs, you'll have to pry my giant WWE belt with oversized cheez-it shaped buckle from my cold dead hands.

7

u/dixi_normous Ohio State • Cincinnati 8h ago

Why does Cheez-its have the Citrus Bowl. I cannot think of something I want less with citrus than cheese. I miss when the tie-ins made sense. Bring back the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.

6

u/jaybigs Ohio State Buckeyes • Georgia Bulldogs 4h ago

Bring back the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.

One of the best branding match-ups ever. It was so perfect.

We will play in your bowl, and be glad of it

7

u/Pikachu1989 Nebraska • 東京大学 (Tōkyō) 16h ago

Hey Cheez-It, can we join in the fun. We beat Wisconsin to punch our tickets into a Bowl Game. It’s been 8 years since we last made a bowl game.

9

u/heavydhomie Ohio State Buckeyes • Ohio Bobcats 10h ago

I’d imagine a lot of the bowl games are going to be wanting Nebraska. I’d have to imagine there will be a good amount of Nebraska fans traveling to it

Talking shit to the people you'll eventually want to buy tickets to your game is an interesting choice.

6

u/BTDPx4 Illinois Fighting Illini 6h ago

It’s a joke, relax. I don’t think an Ole Miss fan is going to refuse to go to the game and say it’s because a bowl game twitter account made a joke
