10. We were both wrong

Dec 2018

You were right it was Mizzou and Southern Miss. I just remember both teams were basically black and yellow/gold. One thing I for sure remembered was Mizzou, they were the tigers and I stood next to them in the halftime show. The other was an eagle or hawkeye, as I recall the logo as the head of a bird. Also the heavy SEC influence, keeps one conference blind at such a young age. And it was cold. That's my story and I am sticking to it.

But it was Mizzou and Southern Miss. However, it was 1981. That bowl was not a New Year's Day game. It wasn't a big bowl game as that year it was on Dec 19.

I am getting old.
