Besides coach Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines securing an undefeated season and clinching the 2024 national championship, the standout winner of the college football bowl season arguably was the Pop-Tarts Bowl and its edible mascot.
Following the announcement of EA Sports launching its college football video game later this year, numerous fans are expressing their desire to see the Pop-Tarts Bowl mascot featured on its cover.
A mock-up cover was designed by Tennessee graphic artist Trey Morten and circulated on social media:
The Pop-Tarts Bowl, sponsored by Kellogg’s and previously known as the Cheez-It Bowl, concluded with the Kansas State Wildcats defeating the N.C. State Wolfpack 28–19 on December 23.
However, the real spectacle unfolded post-game.
The mascot of the game, a giant Strawberry Pop-Tart, ascended onto a colossal toaster on the field and bid farewell to the spectators at Camping World Stadium.
Subsequently, the mascot vanished into the toaster, yielding a genuinely edible Pop-Tart “mascot” that was consumed by the triumphant Wildcats.
This epitomizes the essence of college football.
As fans envision constructing a new college football legacy with some obscure team in EA Sports College Football 25, many are petitioning to have the cherished Pop-Tarts Bowl mascot grace the cover.
