Here, we break down this year’s Gasparilla Bowl and look at the history of this game, which was not always a pirate-themed event on the college football bowl schedule. This game takes place in Tampa each year at Raymond James Stadium, home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which goes together very nicely. The Gasparilla Bowl is a bowl tradition that is named for a pirate-themed festival that takes place in Tampa on an annual basis. UCF has won three of its last four games to become bowl eligible and that should work in their favor from a momentum standpoint.
