Anyone remember the Justice Bowl?
The Golden Hurricane vs. Da' Lobos
Differing Scripts For Justice Bowl
Published: December 20, 1982 NY Times
Ignored by the selection committees of all the major football bowl games, New Mexico and Tulsa staged a different bowl during the last weekend.
The Lobos and the Golden Hurricane had finished the season with 10-1 records.
The Justice Bowl took place not on grass nor on artificial surface but on computer circuits in Fort Worth, midway between the two universities. Local radio stations in Albuquerque, N.M., and in Tulsa, Okla., broadcast two different scripts. Over KOB-AM in Albuquerque last Saturday, the Lobos won, 30-27. On KGTO-AM in Tulsa yesterday, the Golden Hurricane prevailed, 27-24.
