Bryant-Jordan Bowl (after the two famous rivals of the 60s, 70s and early 80s) 2. Elephant-Eagle Bowl or "Double E Bowl"(after the two "alternate" mascots of the teams) 3. Capstone-Plains Bowl (native Alabamians get this without explanation) 4. Shorty Price Bowl (after the longtime Bama fan, and perennial candidate for governor, who almost always managed, ten sheets in the wind, to get on the goalpost crossbar sometime during the game -- further improving our state's image to the world, of course -- Shorty has long since gone to that great tailgate party in the sky and deserves something named after him) Last but not least: 5. The Cardiac Bowl (many of the games have been nearly fatal to at-risk fans on both sides -- like the famous "Kick Bama Kick" game of '72 or the down-to-the-last second game of '83 when Lee Tiffin's dad kicked the winning field goal with a few seconds left, etc.) Here are some ideas, in no particular order, some of them not altogether serious:

Will a Web writer come up with the next famous name? Now's the time, 20 years later, with The Tide on Top again... It was named the Iron Bowl by a news paper writer and made famous on the radio.
