I enjoy going to the Sugar Bowl. I love spending time down in NOLA. We enjoy spending New Year's eve there.

I'm partial to the Cotton Bowl because of the old SWC.

I like the Cotton Bowl because you often have weather playing a factor. I will never forget the "Ice Bowl" where Montana beat Houston. It was so cold during that game.

I don't think of the Peach or Fiesta being part of the big 4 bowls. Those are the Rose, Sugar, Cotton and Orange Bowls. I think the Rose Bowl is the most prestigious.

Agreed on the Big4 bowl games

My uncle played in the 1956 Peach Bowl. He was a NG for East Texas State.

Of course the Texas victory over USC put the Rose Bowl on the map.

Agree. My favorite non-Texas Big 4 bowl would have been the Arkansas-OU game in the Orange Bowl. Switzer vs Holtz. The week of the game, Holtz suspended his three best players, including the top two RBs.

Holtz had his team ready and stomped OU 31-3 behind third string RB Roland Sales.

What is you favorite non-BCS bowl game Texas played in? Mine has to be the 2007 Holiday Bowl against Arizona State and the referees. The crazy sideline interference call was nuts. I still don't think Mack's son-in-law (?) touched that ball.

Agree. There's been many good holiday bowls. Texas vs Oregon and Texas vs Washington were also good games.

The aggy loss in a sleet filled field in the Independence Bowl was memorable.

Texas has played a couple of good ones in the Sun Bowl.

I saw Harvey Martin and Wade Wilson play at ETSU.

 

[63_Texas_1]

Texas beating #1 Alabama and Joe Namath in the Orange Bowl was a great bowl game. That was the first night time bowl game.

 

[Baron]

I saw Harvey Martin and Wade Wilson play at ETSU.

Me and my friends actually stumbled upon Harvey Martin's residence looking for a party back in the day. He was gracious about our mistake. Cool dude all around.

I ran into Too Tall at a Centennial Liquor store. He is the largest human I have ever seen in my life. As we left he folded himself into a Mercedes coupe.

I rank them like this:

Rose


50 feet of crap


Cotton
Sugar
Orange

30 feet of crap

Peach
Fiesta

The Rose Bowl is tops, because of the pageantry, parade, weather, etc.

If the State Fair was held at the same time as the Cotton Bowl (and the game played in the actual Cotton Bowl) it would be closer to the Rose Bowl. But Dallas weather in early January is almost always going to suck

 

[hookemhorb]

I agree that the Rose Bowl used to be the best, but with the playoffs and the teams jumping conferences, it's become just another bowl game.

Sorry, but he (he was Mack's stepson) touched the ball and even Mack admitted he did later after the game was over. Edit note: He shouldn't have been on the field to begin with. Dumbarse decision on his part.

I loved hearing the Texas players yelling "Rudy" because Rudy Carpenter gave the Texas defense no credit at all before that game. The Texas "D" beat his arse the whole game!
