1991 vs. Air Force in the Liberty Bowl. Was cold and not fun, but the BBQ at Rendezvous was good.

2008 Cotton Bowl when we beat 11-1 Texas Tech. Still the most fun I've ever had at a game

I have been to three bowl games total in my life, all three were the Outback Bowl:
Loss to Michigan in 2002
Loss to Iowa in 2003
Loss to Michigan (again) in 2007.
Needless to say, I have since banned myself from the Outback Bowl and possibly all post-season play. I'm also debating banning myself from any more games against Michigan (I am not attending the Citrus Bowl, partially for this reason but mostly because I'm poor right now). My buddy is trying to convince me to go to the 2017 season opener in Texas which is, of course, against Michigan and I've told him to look long and hard at my Florida-Michigan luck and re-think that invite.

This one:
Aggies vs. Wolverines in the Alamo Bowl in the mid 90s. Was a fun family affair for us since my Mom's a Michigan alum and my Dad's an A&M Former Student. My siblings and I were wearing garb for both schools
A&M won.

1959 Sugar Bowl in old Tulane stadium. LSU beats Clemson 7-0 to cap a perfect season and the 1958 National championship. Only 12 years old at the time but still a great memory!

Boy, Air Force ran the Flexbone almost perfectly that night. I think we underestimated them and they took it to us.

Sugar Bowl UF vs Cincy.
Great time.
Great time.

1973 Sugar Bowl vs Notre Dame
Wasn't there, but that is the first game I can remember watching. Well, I don't remember too much about the game but I do remember how all the grownups were salty as frick after it was over
First one I saw in person was the 79 Sugar Bowl, which had a much better outcome.

I was there too. I wonder how many SEC RANT'ers were at that game? Can't be more than a handful. One cool story for you. After that game a friend of my Dad's who was a big gambler from Tuscaloosa told us at breakfast he was going to put $10,000 on Bama but when the line moved to 7 he changed his bet to ND. I was thinking I could never bet against the Tide but if I was waging $10k of 1973 money maybe I'd bet with my brains over my heart.

1-1-59. Tigers were already crowned national champs and turned in a decent performance to defeat Clemson in the Sugar Bowl. Many inebriated fans in Tulane Stadium that day.

The 1973 season had maybe the greatest group of teams ever in the top 6 or 7. Alabama,Notre Dame, Ohio State,Oklahoma,Michigan,Penn State,and Southern Cal.

That was my first bowl game too.
