Cotton Bowl Information
As the New Year starts, one of the exciting things to do in Dallas, Texas is to come and see a bowl game in the Cotton Bowl stadium. Every year, the said stadium features the match-up of two great college football bowl game teams of the Big 12 Conference and Southeastern Conference. The annual game, which is also named Cotton Bowl, has been one of the well-celebrated bowl events over the past years.
By 1937, the Cotton Bowl began in Dallas, Texas featuring a fantastic game between Texas Christian University as the winning team (16) and Marquette University (6), at the Texas State Fair Grounds. The bowl game continued to be successful on its second year in the business; from its attendance of 17,000 in 1937, Cotton Bowl gained a crowd of 32,118 in 1938. The bowl game presented the match-up of Rice University (28) versus Colorado (14). However the 1947 Cotton Bowl was named Ice Bowl due to the ice, sleet, snow and rain that led to a 0-0 tie of University of Arkansas and Louisiana State University. During that time, the bowl game was still considered an accomplishment due to the tickets that were sold out weeks in advance and the attendance of the said game reached 38,000 despite the weather. This scoreless stalemate happened again in 1959 that featured the game of Texas Christian University and United States Air Force Academy; however, weather was not the cause. Each time the TCU or the Air Force threatened to move, an untimely fumble cropped up to put a sudden to what appeared to be a promising drive. Both teams were unfortunate to acquire a score as the time soon ran out, but the Cotton Bowl was able to obtain an attendance of 74,500.
In 1979, the Cotton Bowl game was a more exciting one as it ended with a tight score between University of Notre Dame and University of Houston. The game that was seen by a crowd of 72,000 highlighted the performance of Joe Montana who led Notre Dame from a 22-point fourth quarter deficit to tie the team of Houston at 34-34 during the final quarter of the game. Moreover, it was followed by Joe Unis, who came on to add the extra point and the Notre Dame won the game with 35-34 against Houston. The Cotton Bowl is not just created for great games but exemplary players as well. In fact, it featured outstanding players such as Troy Aikman, Sammy Baugh, Tim Brown, Doug Flutie, Eli Manning, Dan Marino, Joe Montana, Davey O'Brien, Babe Parilli, Bart Starr, Roger Staubach, and Joe Theismann.
The Mobil Oil sponsored the Cotton Bowl event from 1989 to 1995. And from 1996 up to the present time, AT&T (formerly known as Southwestern Bell Corporation or SBC Communications) sponsored the event.
The 2008 Cotton Bowl was another success in the history of bowl games. It featured the match-up of Missouri versus Razorbacks. Since 1970 Orange Bowl, Missouri Tigers, representing the Big 12 Conference, played in its first New Year’s Day game. The team was able to finish a school record of 12-2. On the other hand, their opponent, Arkansas Razorbacks, representing the Southeastern Conference, was able to finish a record of 8-5.
Tony Temple of Missouri rushed for 281 net yards on 24 carries to surpass the 265 net yards record of Dicky Maegle on 11 carries during the 1954 Cotton Bowl. During the first half, the senior from Kansas City accounted for 159 net yards and two touchdowns, putting him in reach of Maegle’s mark. With 8:33 to play, he achieved that record on his final carry, breaking one tackle and spinning away from another pursuer on a 40-yard touchdown run. According to Arkansas Coach Reggie Herring, Temple was a great back, the team of Missouri blocked them and they could not get off the blocks and pursue. Moreover, Tony Temple led his team to a 7-0 lead through a 22-yard touchdown run with 2:29 left during the first quarter. In addition to this, Temple also added four-yard touchdown runs during the second and third quarters. With 3:08 to play in the third quarter, Darren McFadden scored the Razorbacks touchdown on a three-yard run. The fans also waited for the 2008 Cotton Bowl to see the battle between outstanding tailback Darren McFadden of Razorbacks and excellent quarterback Chase Daniel of the Tigers. On the other hand, to give his team a 28-7 lead, Missouri’s William Moore returned an intercepted pass 26 yards midway through the third period. And for Missouri’s other points, Jeff Wolfert had a 32-yard field goal early during the fourth quarter.
The performance of Tony Temple was one of the highlights of the 2008 Cotton Bowl. Temple was able to break his own bowl game record of 194 yards set against Oregon during the 2006 Sun Bowl. He also received the Stanford Trophy that recognizes the game’s outstanding offensive player and commemorates Cotton Bowl Classic founder J. Curtis Stanford. In addition to Missouri’s success, William Moore also received McKnight Trophy. This award commemorates Felix McKnight, who is a celebrated Dallas newspaperman, civic leader and long-time chairman of the Cotton Bowl Team Selection Committee. In addition, the trophy also recognizes the Classic’s outstanding defensive player.
Meanwhile, Frank Broyles was honored at different events throughout the Cotton Bowl week and during a special pre-game ceremony. Broyles is retiring after 50 years as Arkansas’ coach and athletic director who is elected to the Cotton Bowl Hall of Fame in 1999. He was a head coach to Missouri in 1957 and was a coach or athletic director for nine of Razorbacks’ eleven Cotton Bowls. His team dressed in all-red uniforms to honor him.
The 2008 Cotton Bowl ended with a 38-7 victory of Missouri Tigers against Arkansas Razorbacks. The game was attended by a crowd of 73,114 fans and supporters who really enjoyed the game.
In 2009, fans will surely wait for another enjoying Cotton Bowl game. Let us find out who will embrace the victory in the 2009 Cotton Bowl.
