I have a question about coin flips. Why do they ask the visiting team to pick a side? Why not just asign a visiting and home side to every coin and just flip. It's always 50/50, isn't it?

If there's wind, I'd rather have the wind in the 4th quarter for field goals or in the case of stadiums like Memorial/Faurot be playing towards the quieter open end in a close game.

ETA: I'm a dummy. I actually read it this time.

Cotton Bowl had team logos on each side.

Some do....each side of the Rose Bowl coin had the logo of each team. The logo facing up won the toss.
