when we had great bowls with the final being the Orange Bowl with Nebraska and Miami for the championship. I remember when we would watch the Cotton(when it was big) or Sugar followed by the Rose and finishing up with the Orange. Eating chex mix and going blurry eyed by so much TV. Man was that a great day and it was passed down from Father to son. Now we have morons running it and we get Northeren Illinois. remember when bowls meant something.
