Battle for Highway 82

Since no earlier than 1934, and with modern expansions through georgia and New Mexico their stretch accounts for no more than 5% of the route's length. It really is a shitty name, a wannabe War for I-4. Apparently it also goes by The 90 Mile Drive, which is way cooler.

The 90 Mile Drive

Now that is a really cool name, especially for a football game. It would be perfect if it involved a service academy (flashback to the 2019 Cheez-It Bowl where a single Air Force drive consumed an entire quarter)
