re: What was the first bowl game you saw your team play in person?

Cutcliffe did coach the Indy Bowl in 98. "Pine Box" had left for Auburn, Cutcliffe was hired from Tennessee, and then came in and coached the bowl game, which most new hires never do. In fact, that's the only newly hired coach I can remember doing this. Also, I remember Cutcliffe looked awful during the game. All my family members were talking how bad his skin color was. He ended up having gall bladder surgery like the next week.
