04 Cap One Bowl- Purdue/UGA
UGA went way up early, Orton lead Purdue back and UGA won in OT.

97 Outback Bowl- Bama/Mich
Shaun Alexander with a TD late, Stallings last game

98 Alamo Bowl- KSU/Purdue
Brees leading the Boilers down the field late, KSU was stacked that year losing to A&M in Double OT in Big XII title game

05 Alamo Bowl- Mich/Neb
Neb comes back from 11 down in the 4th and Michigan almost wins it on the final play with all the laterals.

06 Insight Bowl- TTU/Minnesota
Shannon Woods running through the Gopher D and leading Tech all the way back from 4+ TD's down

97 Rose Bowl- ASU/OSU
Plummer/Germaine/David Boston/Mike Vrabel

06 Orange Bowl- FSU/PSU
Triple OT Paterno win

94 Orange Bowl- FSU/Neb

One of the first games I remember watching

03 Fiesta Bowl- Mia/OSU
Questionable call, Bucks win in 2OT

05 Rose Bowl- UT/Mich

Vince Young comeback

00 Holiday Bowl- Ore/Tex

I pretty much just remember being really sick, we were in the process of moving and I watched it on a really small tv in the garage. Harrington and Simms were the QB's and I think Oregon was victorious.

2010 Pinstripe- Syr/KSU
Hiburn salutes the crowd after a TD and gets flagged, Cuse go on to win

I guess it was the Green Number game in the Sugar Bowl. But I thought that was Rick Mirer having a great second half and the OL just killing the Florida DL.

But I think the RB had a huge day I recall, if that is the game you are talking about.

My first bowl game. It was Iowa state and Miami of Ohio at the independence bowl. I remember freezing my balls off. Couldn't care less about either team but it was still a fun first experience.

Almost forgot to mention the 2012 Sun Bowl where USC got their asses kicked by Georgia Tech and Lane Kiffin was dressed up like the grim reaper

I remember watching a lot of random Raycom TV bowl games in the 1980's, especially the late 80's.
Georgia vs Arkansas in the Liberty Bowl
Tennessee vs Indiana in the Peach Bowl
Bluebonnet Bowl one year, I think it was Pitt vs Texas

The other bowls I remember from back then were the major ones that everyone watched on new year's day.

1978 Orange Bowl, Arkansas beats Oklahoma 31-6 after suspending several players.

1984 Cotton Bowl, Texas loses chance at national championship with late fumbled punt, losing 10-9 to Ga.

1987 Fiesta Bowl, Miami v. Penn St., a No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup made possible because both teams were independents at the time.

1984 Orange Bowl, Nebraska loses national championship to Miami after late two-point conversion fails, 31-30.

1978 Cotton Bowl, Longhorns destroyed by Notre Dame, 38-10, in Earl Campbell's senior season with Texas ranked No. 1. Notre Dame vaults from No. 5 to national championship over wails from Alabama fans.

Don Criqui and Bob Trumpy on NBC were an awesome pairing, so most any Orange Bowl they broadcast in late 1980s.

Dick Enberg and Merlin Olsen on several Rose Bowls, NBC. Don't remember Curt Gowdy, except for 1979 Super Bowl where Cowboys lost to Steelers.

How is this random?

Anyway my family would always go to visit my dad's family for new year's, seems like there was a stretch in the early 2000s when Texas was always playing in the Holiday Bowl when we were there.

Aloha Bowl/Hawaii Bowl with Louisville and Browning Nagle whipping Alabama's arse.

I remember Nebraska and North Carolina playing in a bowl game, with both teams wearing their home(dark) jerseys.

Arizona State beating Nebraska in the Fiesta Bowl when ASU was still in the WAC.

Not random somuch for me, but figured some other TD'ers remember the 2000 Music City Bowl. Don Nehlen - who had a HOF career but terrible bowl record, was coaching his final game for WVU.

Cutcliffe's Rebels - after a bad first half, made a furious near-comeback behind a young E. Manning.

1993 sugar bowl #2 bama vs #1 Miami

Stallings and his boys humble a cocky and jerkoff acting Canes team. Absolutely humbled.

Also, the 2012 and 2013 New Mexico Bowls were both very good.
