Miami, FL - Those attending this year's "Snoop Bowl, " presented by Title Sports Drink, which is distributed exclusively by Blue Gem Enterprise (OTCBB: BGEM), will get double for their money.
On February 6, 2010, Snoop Bowl VIII in Miami, FL, will feature two youth football games for the first time in its eight year history. The first game pits members of Prime Time Deion Sanders' Texas based Truth Select All-Stars against the Naperville (Illinois) Patriots' American Youth Football (AYF) team. "I'm excited about the opportunity to connect with Snoop to expand this game," said Sanders. "I think the game will be a nice prelude to Snoop Bowl IX in Dallas next year." The second game features the Snoop Dogg All-Stars and South Florida All-Stars.
The double-header makes room for more entertainment. Well known Miami-Based Artists DJ Khaled and Flo Rida will perform and several more acts will participate in the event. Also, the Mighty Marching Lions Band of Revealing Truth Ministries in Tampa, FL, is the official band of Snoop Bowl VIII.
The AYF team playing Deion's Truth Select All-Stars is in partnership with athletic apparel outfitter Under Armour. Under Armour's mission to make athletes better has extended to youth in recent years through its partnership with the national youth football and cheer organization. "It's an honor for Under Armour to be involved in this year's Snoop Bowl, "said Under Amour Brand Manager Leon Duncan. "We respect and support the work Snoop and others are doing to develop future athletes and leaders." Off the field, Under Armour actively supports events like the Snoop Bowl and organizations that focus on improving the well-being of children.
Celebrity coaches for the games include Ronnie Brown (Miami Dolphins), Terrell Owens (Buffalo Bulls), Willis McGahee (Baltimore Ravens), Fred Taylor (New England Patriots), Bryant McKinnie (Minnesota Vikings), Max Starks (Pittsburgh Steelers), Greg Camarillo (Miami Dolphins), Bennie Blades (University of Miami and NCAA football hall of famer), Rudi Johnson and many more.
"It's great to see entertainers, athletes and those involved in youth football on a national level coming together," commented event organizer and former Florida Gator defensive end Thaddeus Bullard. "Our sponsors this year have committed everything they could to make this event the biggest it's been. I'm very grateful for Title Sports Drink, Under Armour and others who have contributed in any way to this event."
