Anybody else like watching this on Christmas day?

quote:

It was begun in 1939 and held annually through 2001 at the Cramton Bowl in Montgomery, Alabama under the auspices of the Montgomery Lions Club. The game was not contested in 2002 and was subsequently revived in 2003 at Movie Gallery Stadium in Troy, Alabama. However, the game was discontinued because it lacked a major sponsor after that year.

64 Blue–Gray Football Classics were played. Gray won 33 games, Blue won 29 games, and two games tied. All were played in Montgomery, Alabama, except the 2003 game, played in Troy, Alabama

I never saw the game. I grew up in Prattville and the game was always blacked out.

I used to LOVE the Blue-Gray game. They just finished the remodel of the Cramton Bowl and held the Camellia Bowl there on Saturday. Seems like as good a time as any to bring it back.

The game was good back when a 7-4 season meant your team probably wasn't in a bowl game. But now with so many teams in bowl games, the % of jrs declaring, there isn't enough talent to chose from.
