Yup my dad had to leave and go watch it at the local bar it was so cold.

The conditions at the Armed Forces Bowl 3 years ago made me want to get up and leave... not as cold, but wet and still miserably cold enough! Thank god I stuck it out, I was rewarded by being able to watch a Montana-esque comeback win for the Coogs over Pitt!

I wanted to go to that game soo bad but i had to work the night shift the day before. I ended up over sleeping and missing almost the entire game. I woke up just in time to see the amazing comeback!

For some reason this bowl game has grown on me over the years. I don't know why, but for some reason this game ends up getting me to watch the other upcoming bowl games.

I feel the same way about the New Orleans Bowl. It is the one bowl out of the newer ones that seems to be one that teams want to go to. They have also had some very good crowds there too over the years.
That said, please bring back the Blue Bonnet Bowl.

Yeah, I remember that bowl. Back in the day, it was only the Rose, Orange, Cotton, Sugar, Gator, Sun, Liberty, and Bluebonnet.
They were all hooked up I believe with specific conferences so an Indy like Memphis went nowhere--even when we were good in the 60s.

Incidentally, the Hawaii Bowl was the first bowl game UCF played in - 12 years ago tonight no less.
Brandon Marshall had three TD catches but Matt Prater, (yep that one) shanked an XP in OT to give Nevada the win....

Its kinda of sad but if UH wins tonight it'll be the first year that this conference has won 3 or more bowl games. We really have stunk it up in the bowl season.

I cant believe Houston only has one bowl game... thats crazy. The AAC should have started a bowl in Houston at the coogs new stadium... Instead we went to Miami in a baseball stadium... and that bowl went to Frisco to become the fourth bowl in the DFW area?? And there was talk of a bowl in Austin or San Marcos...
Adopting the Bluebonnet name in Houston would have been genius...
