Late yesterday afternoon, we got the news that 2020 has claimed another victim. This time, it s Shreveport s own Independence Bowl, and though COVID can t be directly held responsible, it was certainly the root of the demise of this year s game.
We received the following statement from the Independence Bowl where they laid it all out for us:
It is with deep regret we announce that the Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl will not be played this year. The Independence Bowl Foundation was very excited to host the Army West Point Black Knights and a representative of the Pac-12 Conference in Shreveport on Saturday, December 26, however, after 44 consecutive years of exciting football, the opting-out of possible teams created a lack of teams available to play in bowl games and the 2020 Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl.
