Report: Duck Commander is new sponsor for Independence Bowl
Posted by Chris Huston on February 23, 2014, 3:52 PM EST
AP
The Independence Bowl, known in recent years as the Avocare V100 Bowl, has a new sponsor.
The Shreveport-based bowl will be known as the Duck Commander Independence Bowls next season, according to a tweet on Sunday from ESPN’s Brett McMurphy. The naming rights will run for six years.
DuckCommander.com, of course, is the online home of the immensely popular A&E television series “Duck Dynasty”.
Recent controversy surrounding one of the stars of the show, Phil Robertson, will no doubt drive the narrative regarding this news.
Would this be the first television show to sponsor a bowl game? A precedent doesn’t spring to mind. It makes you wonder if we’ll soon be seeing the “Homeland Fiesta Bowl” or the “Dancing With the Stars Cotton Bowl”.

Deer AP: Doesn't sound like a TV show is sponsoring it...

sounds like a company that specializes in hunting supplies is sponsoring it. It's not the "Duck Dynasty Independence Bowl."

Nevertheless, the show is not sponsoring it.

PS: I'm not emotionally vested in the argument, I just noticed a comparison that was flawed.

Are Duck calls legal during a football game?

Do they make coot calls too? I bet if they do it sounds something like "SEC, SEC, SEC!!"

anybody who was willing to make a fool of themselves on tv could have been thrown into a show called duck dynasty and been made stars. They didnt really need a family with a successful duck call business and a following from a bunch of hunting dvds.

Duck commander show was way more entertaining than duck dynasty. It was actual duck hunting and the things said were funnier than the staged events on duck dynasty
