The Pop-Tarts Bowl has been booming in recent years, whether it's for its mascot, or for the absurd comedic elements that come readily served with it. Some may know it as the Cheez-It Bowl, or by the ten different names before that, but in 2023, it was renamed to what we know and love today.
The Pop-Tarts Bowl, conceived in 1990, is currently in its second year under its current name and is already making headlines. It was held at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida, on December 28. The event began at around 3:30 p.m. ET, and it saw No. 16 Miami (10-2) go up against No. 19 Iowa State (10-3).
In the wake of the event being held just today, we've compiled a list of some of the funniest memes and fan reactions sure to leave you in splits-- because after all, isn't that exactly what the games are about?
