I never saw it, but watched highlights. Looked bad arse on camera, like a blizzard out there


The snow started like right before the game started. I seem to recall seeing the bare bleachers at the start. All that snow dumped during the game. Wild stuff, for Shreveport.

The Cotton Bowl Classic (also known as the Cotton Bowl) is an American college football bowl game that has been held annually in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex since January 1, 1937. The game was originally played at its namesake stadium in Dallas before moving to Cowboys Stadium (now AT&T Stadium) in nearby Arlington in 2010


So the Cotton Bowl was named after the game. I’m trying to find how many years the game was played at the Cotton Bowl stadium before I moved to AT&T stadium. I would assume a lot.

The Cotton Bowl stadium opened in 1930 as Fair Park Stadium. The Cotton Bowl Classic started to play in 1937 at the stadium. Since then, the stadium called Cotton Bowl stadium

I believe a similar situation occurred some years ago with the Orange Bowl.


The Orange Bowl game was originally held at Miami Field before moving to the Miami Orange Bowl stadium in 1938 (opened in 1937 as Burdine Stadium). In 1949, the stadium was renamed the Orange Bowl for the Orange Bowl college football bowl game. The Orange Bowl game was moved to Pro Player Stadium (now Hard Rock Stadium) beginning on December 31, 1996.

The 1947 Cotton Bowl between LSU and Arkansas was a cold weather classic that was is known as the “Ice Bowl.” The Tigers and Razorbacks played to a 0-0 tie.

I’m legitimately shocked and confused that a Texan male, who presumably is a college football fan, would make this mistake


His Texan card was revoked today. He’ll be deported before the Cotton Bowl kicks off - in any stadium.

In the final Cotton Bowl Classic game to be held in the Cotton Bowl stadium, the 8–4, No. 20 Ole Miss Rebels defeated the 11–1, No. 7 Texas Tech Red Raiders, 47–34. Tech quarterback Graham Harrell broke the NCAA record in this game for most touchdown passes thrown by anyone in Cotton Bowl Classic history.

I was at the Independence Snow Bowl game and it still is the 2nd favorite MSU game of my lifetime. When A&M went up by 2 scores, I thought it was over. They miss an xp right before halftime. Griffith returns a blocked xp 98 yds, then Madkin stretches for the goal line for the win. It was a crazy game and great to see JWS get the win over his old school.


Good chit

Couple more things of note.

Texas Tech was coached by The Pirate with maybe his best team ever. One of my favorites coaches of all time.

Tony Fein popularized “The Landshark” sign for the Ole Miss defense.

You have now solidified yourself as the biggest retard on this site. You even got blasted all over twitter by Message Board Genius. So, not only everyone on this site knows you’re a fricking retard, now all of twitter knows you’re a retard too.

Not gonna lie. It would so wild and cool for horn and Ohio State to get a snow game.


By now you know the truth but it's an easy mistake to make since it's called The Cotton bowl. I barely paid attention to it myself over the last decade

These dudes are all googling first the things they are teaching me. I think a lot of people think these games are played in the stadiums with the same name. the LSU guts give a little Edger Allen Poe vibe when they call me dumb on my mistakes, this wasn’t a bad take, it was a mis take.

Perhaps a quick look at Google, before you post, might keep you from making embarrassing posts.

When you ragged on Texas all year, and later admitted you hadn't watch them play all year, was that (a) a bad take, (b) a mistake, or (c) symptomatic of a deficient thought process?

Wtf are you taking about dude? You guys troll A&M daily. Don’t give it out if you can’t take it. Somehow this thread about the Cotton Bowl vs the Cotton Bowl Series is about you? Good grief, I’m not your wife dude.

No, calling AT&T stadium the Cotton Bowl is stupid. The Cotton Bowl is the Cotton Bowl.
The Cotton Bowl is exactly where the powers that be say it is.....much like the Super Bowl.

As an A&M fan you’d really have no reason to know it.

If he watched JFFs Heisman season then he should already know this info.
