WOW! The Austin Liberal Bowl, played in a 100,000+ seat stadium before 1200 rabid fans, featuring powerhouses like 5-7 New Mexico against 4-8 Montana Tech, sponsored by Bubba's Towing, Chavez Salvage Yard up in the old "Flats", and Catholic Healthcare Incompetence (nothing says "success" like being sponsored by an entity losing $700 million a year).

My second suggestion would be to revert back to the "knot hole section", where kids in Austin can get in free if they ask an Austin police officer for a ticket.

WOW! Now there's a memory from a long since passed day and time! It's hard to believe tickets could had in that manner, but I remember being able to do just that. Knothole tickets were also offered to AISD and faculty could give them as incentives.
The freshman games were free and you could just walk into the stadium and watch.

Maybe aggy could play one of their directional school rivals in it!! Hell, give UTSA a few more years to develop their program and it might be a "pick-em". I might go and fork out $5 to the Roadrunner's run!

Maybe if we can squeak out six wins again next year we can play at home for our bowl game.

Lose a bowl game at home., that’s all we need.

At least they would come away with matching head and wrist logoed sweatbands.

That reminds me, somewhere tucked away I have a pretty cool Alamo Bowl watch given to me by a Longhorn player.

Teams actually get some cool treats from bowl sponsors, not just wrist and sweatbands.

Radio guys were listing off some of the bowl swag and there are a couple giving a small bag of bowl branded crap....Not like watch cool, but shirts and stuff like that.

No more bowl games! Please!! Half of the ones we have now should disappear.

The NCAA needs to lift the limit on gifts a bowl can hand out. That would separate the real from the wannabes. I know that back in the day, a stainless Rolex was $125-150, but when you hand out 200-250 per team, it was a lot of money back then. The Cotton Bowl gave out stainless Rolex date-just.

On lesser level, The Sun Bowl took both teams to Tony Lama (before BlueBell} for a pair of boots and a hat - 100% beaver, not the cheap crap at BootTown, Cavenders, et al.

A bowl game was a reward for hard work and meant more hard work, but they also were sometimes made fun. Now they are about mediocrity, and cheap Chinese trinkets. WHEEEE!
