I have only ever been to one bowl game, the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida, the year Tennessee played Northwestern. Our purple colors were swallowed up by all that Vol orange. Unfortunately, the Wildcats lost, but did give a good battle until for the first quarter.
** IN 1998, THE CONTROVERSIAL Bowl Championship Series (BCS) was instituted to determine the national champion.
** THE ONLY YEAR THE SUGAR BOWL was not played in New Orleans was 2006, when the game was moved to the Georgia Dome in Atlanta after the Superdome suffered extensive damage from Hurricane Katrina.
** IN 1947, RIVALS Louisiana State University and the University of Arkansas met in the Cotton Bowl, a game that ended in a scoreless tie.
** THE ORIGINAL NAME FOR THE ROSE BOWL was the "Tournament east-west football game" and was started to feature the best college football team from the east against the best from the west. (For many years it was the Big Ten champ against the PAC-10's best).
I sure wish they'd drop the BCS and go with a playoff series like in basketball.
