I would always watch the Bluebonnet Bowl. It was held in Houston, Texas. First at Rice Stadium and later at the Astrodome. In those days the Astrodome was the only domed stadium.

The Cherry Bowl dude played in the Silverdome.

Don’t forget the Strickland Propane and Propane Accessories Bowl

I NEED the Poinsettia Bowl to come back 🌺

Salad bowl,1948-1955 in Phoenix

The Garden State Bowl played at the old Meadowlands Stadium 🏟️

Garden state bowl

'Blockbuster Bowl'?, 'Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl'?...

The Cherry Bowl back in the 80s

you're not going to mention the international bowl?? the bowl that took place in the SkyDome, in Toronto, in December!!!! I attended 2 consecutive International bowls. Saw Ray Rice score 4 TDs

Don't forget the Cherry Bowl . It was at the Silverdome around 1988.

Poinsettia bowl in san diego was another but the organizers stopped to focus on the Holiday Bowl

I miss the Aloha & Oahu bowl on Christmas Day

Then there was the Cherry Bowl that was also played at the Pontiac Silverdome.

How about the Kraft Hunger Bowl played in San Francisco at the Giants ball park? This was short lived and I believe it had a couple different names/sponsors.

I remember the tangerine bowl

California bowl in Fresno. 1981 to 1992

Of course my yellow jackets was part of the most defunct bowl game lol

You forgot the international bowl in Toronto Canada

I used to watch every bowl game. Wouldn’t miss a single game. Now I refuse to pay to watch tv. Soooo….. now I might be able to watch three(?) games.

Should have mentioned the Bluebonnet Bowl in Houston.

I loved watching the Bluebonnet Bowl. It used to be on New Years Eve.

That's because EVERY bowl is now just an advertisement disguised as a game

Good video, don’t forget the BlueBonnet Bowl, seemed like a big game

Bring back the Cherry and Weedwacker Bowls!!

Houston Bowl was preceded by the Bluebonnet Bowl from 1959-1987 in Rice Stadium then the Astrodome. Game was suspended till it came back in 2000.

The Home Depot Toilet Bowl

The international bowl in Toronto is another defunct bowl game

What about the Cherry Bowl at the Silverdome? They had it for 2 seasons. I went to the first with Michigan State losing to Army. My friend Rob scored the only touchdown for Sparty that day.

The bowls I remember back in the early 70's ...peach, gator, sun, liberty, then the big ones on new years eve and day, sugar, cotton, rose, fiesta , orange, ...thats about it that i remember. Now they have what...30 plus of them now ?

They tried giving away tickets to the Seattle bowl at my highschool in a Seattle suburb, nobody wanted them.

Car Quest Bowl

What about the Junior College RC Cola Bowl at the University of Northern Iowa’s UNI Dome?

Just about every Christmas day from 1991 to 2000 it was Jeep Eagle Aloha Bowl day on ABC with me (the rest of my family didn't give a shit about that bowl game). I used to sit in front of the TV and watch that bowl game with youthful glee. My favorite Aloha Bowls were the 1993, 1996, and 1999 editions.

There's a lot that you missed. Cherry Bowl only lasted 2 years in the mid 80s. Bluebonnet bowl lasted nearly 30 years before becoming defunct in the late 80s. Pasadena Bowl only lasted a few years in the 60s-early 70s. Hall of Fame/All-American Bowl in Birmingham lasted about 15 years before going defunct. Garden State Bowl lasted a few years in the late 70s-early 80s. California Bowl lasted for a decade in the 80s. There's probably another 2 or 3 video's worth of defunct bowls.

In my bay area "backyard" in San Francisco, we had the Diamond Walnut > Emerald > Kraft Fight Hunger > Foster Farms > Redbox bowl... moving from the Giants stadium to eventually Levi. I got to see the Terrapins, Canes, Noles, BC and a few others. I miss that bowl excitement locally! Went to a Silicon Valley bowl as well.

I remember the Freedom Bowl. That bowl was around for 11 years, and I saw two Freedom Bowls on TV. And those editions the 1991 and 1992 games. The 1992 game between USC and Fresno State is the Freedom Bowl I most remember because I waited all week for that game to come on, plus, it was the game that helped get USC head coach Larry Smith fired. The Trojans played so bad in that game offensively that USC's athletic department had had enough with the Smith regime.

Wisconsin (my alma mater) played in the Garden State Bowl back in the day.

Fun fact a young Bruno Mars as an Elvis impersonator performed at Halftime at the Aloha Bowl

You need to do more research because they are several bowls you missed like the Cherry Bowl, even though you mention the matchup between Marshall and Mississippi you had them playing in the Little Caesars Bowl. They actually played in the Motor City Bowl. Several other bowls are the California Bowl, that eventually would become the California Raisin Bowl, the Bluebonnet Bowl, and the Poinsettia Bowl. I know that more bowls did exist but I will leave you to find them on your own. Thanks for the content though.

I actually went to the Seattle bowl game at Safeco Field Safeco also hosted wrestlemania before

I miss the blockbuster bowl

B-Dubs bowl all time classic now I think the citrus bowl

Man, I wish someone wrote a book on Aloha Stadium. That is such a historic stadium as it hosted University of Hawaii football games, the Pro Bowl, and many other events in its history from 1975 to 2020.

In re: Seattle Bowl. I think if WFU won a bowl, it had to be discontinued under the old NCAA rules from 1977 onward. The Independence Bowl got an exemption when WFU won because Oregon was in control until Wake scored 29 unanswered points, which was understood to be just silly. -- Carl Wilkerson, WFU, 1987

There is other bowls that existed that where pretty good the Bluebonnet bowl for example

The Humanitarian Bowl was one I always loathed. Hosted in Boise, Idaho at that blue field. C-USA was always involved I believe and it seemed like Louisville was ALWAYS in that game.

They are building a new stadium. It's actually under construction

Being a Socal kid I remember the Freedom Bowl and what was unique much like the Independence Bowl it would be on a local channel

What about the Cherry Bowl? Syracuse played Maryland one year.

What about the bluebonnet bowl

You should look up the Steamboat Bowl, was an NAIA bowl game played only twice at Bracewell Stadium in Burlington, IA. Bracewell Stadium is a historic high school field built from a rock quarry back in 1920. It was the 1st high school field west of the Mississippi River to install lights, and in 2014, became the 1st high school field in the nation to convert to all LED lighting. These 2 games were in the late 1980s, though, back when it didn't even have play clocks or the artificial turf they have now.

Played safeco while seahawkws field was litterally right there

So many more- Garden State Bowl Bluebonnet Bowl, etc. I also think there was a Bacardi Bowl played in Havana Cuba.

I went to the penultimate Silicon Valley Football Classic between UCLA and Fresno State.

Left out The All-American Bowl in Birmingham, AL that evolved into the Hall of Fame Bowl, & The Bacardi Bowl held in Havana, Cuba

You forgot to mention the San Francisco Bowl

What about the east west, north south, yankee gray, bowls

I do love it when bowl games are played at baseball stadiums and the 2 bowl games I want is The Nickelodeon Bowl in Carson where the chargers played from 2017-2019 and where I live in Augusta, The SRP Bowl.

Incorrect info on the "Little Caesars Bowl". Did NOT start out as the "Little Caesars" Bowl, it was first called The Cherry Bowl in the mid 1980s before rebranding to the Motor City Bowl, sponsored by the "Big Three" automakers in Detroit, Ford, GM, Chrysler and ran from 1997-2009. After 09' Little Caesars Pizza became the primary sponsor for the now defunct Motor City Bowl and was rebranded into the Little Caesars Bowl. Fast forward to 2014 the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl was rebranded, again, into what we know as the Quick Lane Bowl today.

I have memories of seeing Purdue in the 2011 little ceasars bowl

There is a new stadium being built in Hawaii

are you purposefully doing a Mel Kiper?

You forgot the Patroit Bowl played at Valley Forge.

Actually Ging when they had multi-purpose stadiums football would be played on dirt infields until baseball season was over. In the case of astroturf and sliding pits they patched up the sliding pits.

great video bro

These games had teams where either the team had no chance of drawing their fans to the game or the game was no where close to being a priority for even the alumni to make the trip.

Why is the holiday bowl at the baseball stadium now??

I think there should be a Bowl game in Reno. See how that works out. I live in Reno so it's just a thought.

3:06 Wait... You mean to tell me that an Iowa football team could score more than. 20 points? I don't believe it...

The Little Caesar’s Hot N Ready Bowl

I am thinking these meaningless bowls are not going to last much longer when the 16 team playoffs come around. Just will be zero interest in anything that is not playoff related.

Raycom Sports

I always wished Cleveland had a college bowl game. Like a 6-6 Big ten team vs the MAC champions or something

For every one that goes defunct, two new ones pop up.

pointsetia bowl

There would have been the Toilet Bowl, but I heard that idea got flushed..

I would love if you said The International Bowl

there was over one hundred not many years back the whole thing is on brink of collapse as players sit for future monetary gain- not sure i blame them-- how about poulon weed eater bowl maybe in shreveport ? i used to like those early dec. mac and c-usa games

How bout a dodger stadium bowl

No Bluebonnet Bowl? No Garden State Bowl?

Half of the current bowl games should not exist anymore. Right now the NCAA has a rule where if you win half your games you are both eligible. And in rare cases, not even that. The Minnesota gophers made a bowl game this year with a 5-7 record. There are 12 games in the regular season. To make a bowl game a team should have to win at least eight games. Thank goodness next year there’s going to be a 12 team college football playoff. Which will make the college football postseason more meaningful than it ever has been before. As a result, college football will be better than it ever has been before.

I need my Vizio BCS National Championship game

OMG I would love to have seen the Seattle bowl in Safeco

as an oregon fan, i am honored to have had oregon play in the greatest bowl of all time. the SEATTLE BOWL

2:40... Freedom Bowl, 1984-1994 is ELEVEN years!! (Not 10).

Man I miss the old bowl game logos. I'm glad more teams get to play postseason, but the NCAA needs to figure it out. Attendance is going to suffer in a lot of them because how do you draw fans if 2 programs who may not play anywhere near where the game is hosted without it having at least 1 marquee program or a match-up of 2 ranked schools???

Poulane Weed Eater Bowl was the goat.

I am hoping the X bowl becomes a reality soon

Copper bowl

Great content bro, keep this up. Can I give any ideas for future content?

❤🎉

Yahoo Soda Bowl Duff Bowl Pawtucket Patriot Ale Bowl Pizza Planet Bowl Chinpokomon Bowl Planet Express Bowl Gary’s Shoes & Accessories Bowl

You forgot about the pecan bowl

Bluebonnet Bowl

Refrigerator Bowl

Sorry , I got mad at you . You're a good kid. You make great content !

Any bowl game that wasn't an over commercialized piece of garbage, it doesn't exist anymore.

Man, you didn't even say anything about the Cherry Bowl. That was the original bowl game played at the Pontiac Silverdome the first one was played in 1984 it was Army and Michigan State this was Army's very first Bowl appearance ever they drew 70,000 fans(Silverdome had 80,000 seats) and Army won 10-6. Little side note I think it was Michigan State's first bowl game since the 66 Rose Bowl because this was during the era where it seemed like the Big Ten was only getting two bull bids out of the conference the conference champion of course went to the Rose Bowl to face the pac-10 champion and like the runner-up would get a bowl bid somewhere because there weren't many bulls around at the time at this point in time there was only like 15 bowl games so the top 25 plus the next five made it into a bowl plus you had to have better than a .500 record back then you had to be at least 6-5 to get a bowl bid(college only played 11 game seasons back then). So for Michigan State being in a conference where you have Michigan and Ohio State and each of those teams were generally 7-4 at the worst generally 8-3 or better though. So this was Michigan State's first year to have an opportunity because the Big Ten had more bowl bids given to them.

I've got an idea for a video. Let me know how I can contact you
