Talk:Bowl game

message: It probably should have a cite, considering: (1) the 1st RB game was not played at the RB (it was at Caltech) and (2) the stadium was shaped like a horseshoe until they closed the South end in 1928 (and it was first a bowl for the 15th game). --Bobak 21:42, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

message: No discussion of using the world "Bowl" would be complete without mentioning the 1987 Toilet Bowl between a 1-7 University of Kansas and 0-8 Kansas State that ended in a tie.--Paul McDonald 13:00, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I would argue that there's an equally (if not more) famous Toilet Bowl: the 1983 Civil War between Oregon and Oregon State. To take the Wikipedia article on the rivalry: "The 1983 contest between the two teams produced a scoreless tie. Played during a rainstorm (and pitting two mediocre squads against each other), the game is commonly known as the "Toilet Bowl", due to the poor quality of play exhibited in the game (it was not a steadfast defensive struggle). No NCAA Division I football game has ended in a scoreless tie since, and due to the recent introduction of overtime into NCAA football (which eliminated ties), it is unlikely to ever happen in the future, unless a subsequent rule change allows tie games to once again occur." As I recall, the term came up when one of the University presidents was asked about the game afterwards...  I think both games can be included as notable "Toilet Bowls".  :-) --Bobak 20:24, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I know they have vacated wins from several years back due to the open book test cheating scandal (yeah, you read that right), but FSU owns the current bowl streak.  No one can vacate their bowl appearances, since they went to the bowls.  There are many articles which can be referenced regarding the ongoing bowl streak.
