College Football Fenway Bowl: What is Wasabi?
By John Buhler
Cincinnati will face regional rival Louisville in the 2022 Wasabi Fenway Bowl over in Boston.
What if I told you Wasabi was more than just a Keg of Nails to the dome, bro?
Fate would have it, the 2022 Wasabi Fenway Bowl could also be called the Turbo-Awkward Scott Satterfield Bowl. No, this has absolutely nothing to do with Cincinnati playing Louisville in the home of the Boston Red Sox, but that the Cardinals’ former head coach actually left for the regional rival Bearcats upon their entry into the Big 12. It was the zaniest move of the offseason.
So while you might be used to wasabi doing a number on your precious sinus cavity while enjoying sushi or aptly-coated, bar-food peas, this is not the Wasabi we are referring to. In our best Jeremy Pruitt “What is that?!”, we will explain to you Wasabi is closer to Apple than it is to asparagus*.
*Note to self: Trademark Asparagus for the newfangled widget and gizmo company I am creating.
Wasabi is sponsoring the latest helping of Keg of Nails in Fenway: What is that?!
It terms of cloud storage, Wasabi is hotter than Ed Robertson busting rhymes. Is this company bigger than LeAnn Rimes? I don’t know, it’s been one week since you looked at me, cocked your head to the side and said, “I’m hungry.” The fact the 2022 Fenway Bowl is not being sponsored by Wonderful Pistachios, or their overly saturated horseradish equivalent, comes as quite a shock!
Even though Mizzou Chase Daniel-finessed its way out of a Memphian Border War, we got two teams from either side of the Ohio River who don’t particularly care for each other all that much. Back when the East was Big, the Bearcats and the Cardinals used to battle for the greatest trophy this side of the Floyd of Rosedale. The fact UC and U of L don’t play regularly don’t make no sense!
Not since the Red Sox hosted those hated Bronx Bombers have we felt the heat emanate from the Fenway Park sod. No, this is not Wasabi or the other kind of wasabi we are talking about. We are talking about a former rivalry game trophy coming out of the case with a scaredy-cat Satterfield nowhere to be found. May this one bowl game be bigger than Big Papi’s larger-than-life persona.
This early-window kickoff will be spicier than that one time Steve-O did snooters at a sushi bar.
