TAMPA, FL – The law firm of Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick, LLP was pleased to again participate as a sponsor of the Outback Bowl at Raymond James Stadium on January 1st. Shumaker partner Todd Timmerman served as the Immediate Past-Chair for the 2020 game, and partner Mindi Richter served as a member of the Team Selection Committee for the Bowl. The exciting matchup came down to the wire and featured the Minnesota Golden Gophers edging the Auburn Tigers 31-24 to cap an 11-win season. It was the Minnesota’s first appearance in the Bowl.
