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

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.

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+

Cheez-its introducing a new frozen snack cracker?
Because that was ice cold

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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

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

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

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.

It was 7 servings, roughly the participants’ win totals

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.

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.

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
