Bowl Game Facts-- Part 1

From the Fall 2010/Winter 2011 Catch the Action paper.

Since we are finishing up all the Bowl Games between college football teams, I found this of interest.

** THE FIRST BOWL GAME was played in January of 1902 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.

** ONE OF THE GAME'S MOST historical bowl games, the Orange Bowl, got its start on January 1, 1935. Bucknell beat the University of Miami 26-0.

** FROM 1946-1949, the Raisin Bowl pitted a California school against an at-large team. San Jose State University twice won the bowl.

** THE ROSE BOWL is affectionately nicknamed "The Granddaddy of 'Em All."
