Tim Fletcher: Independence Bowl Luncheon Today

The Camping World Independence Bowl kickoff luncheon is set for later this morning in downtown Shreveport at the Convention Center.  Tickets, while they last, will be available at the door.  Archie Manning, the patriarch of football's first family and a Saints legend, is the special guest and will sit down for a 'fireside chat' with Tim Brando rather than the traditional, "speaker gives a speech," format.

This is the first event for the soon to be 40-year old bowl with Camping World as the title sponsor.
