My First Bowl Game

Have a fun day. :beer2:
My 1st bowl was '76 Independence Bowl.
 
Place is very empty.
 
Not very often where a college football game aligns with me being at work...but yes, I will happily watch CFB at work.
 
Mine was the short lived Seattle Bowl in 2002

Still kinda empty. I knew it wouldn’t be a sellout..

Yeah, I was gonna say Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, NE is basically empty an hour before kick-off. That's with them having the nations longest sell-out streak dating back to 1962.

Starting a bowl game (with G5 teams) at 12 pm (ET) on a Monday doesn't help.
 
1999 sugar bowl was my first.

Only non Ohio State bowl game I've ever gone to the 2007 Orange Bowl between Wake Forest and Louisville. Buddy and me were in South Beach for New Years so we decided to go.

On the 30th we are drinking at this bar called the Clevelander on the strip and I run into these giants while getting a drink. Sparked up a convo and they turn out to be 4 offensive lineman from Wake. We hit it off and then this Wake alum shows up and starts buying all their drinks. They tell him I'm their favorite trainer so he is buying them for me too. Everyone is trashed and I'm saying I want to get sideline passes. One dude is saying he is gonna get me a headset lol.

Never heard from them again but it was probably my coolest college football story and it had nothing to do with Ohio State
 
my first bowl game was the buckeyes vs okie st at the Alamo Bowl in 2004. Was fun times.

Next one i went to was the natty at Jerry world vs Oregon. That was much more fun.
 
So, this is why you aren't posting in the football game thread....

LOL.

I saw Wake beat GT in the ACC CCG that year (2006) @ Jax to clinch the Orage Bowl bid!

9-6 in the rain. What a thrill!

lol the day that they played Clemson at home in Winston-Salem, me and some buddies just decided to go on a whim (this was back in my Army Fort Bragg Days), so we all piled in my truck and drove the 2 hours to see a game that we really couldn't have cared less about, we were just bored and didn't have much to do that day. After that game, we drove to Chapel Hill and partied all day and into the night there, and drove back to Bragg hung over the next day. Miss those days.
