| JakeA---The Bluebonnet Bowl died in 1987, due to lack of sponsorship, poor venue, poor ticket sales, etc. It started in 1959, and was played at Rice Stadium. It was then moved to the Astrodome, when it opened. It used to be a premier game for a Southwest Conference team that just missed the Cotton Bowl, versus an at large opponent. The people in charge of the Bluebonnet Bowl made some poor decisions during the 80's, and as other bowl games got bigger, the Bluebonnet just died. It ended in 1987 when they lost money, had no sponsor, and about 18,000 fans showed up, (the Dome held 58,000), for a game between Texas and Pitt, Texas won. Anyway, I miss it. |
