bowl in Hawaii = no fans

[soonerfastnloud]

I almost feel like I am watching a golf tournament, good place to visit. Who has the biggest ears Tuberville? Or Finebaum?

 

[pssooner]

did you see the Popeye's Bahama's bowl? I saw no one in the stands!

 

[soonerfastnloud]

Yes, man no fans at these lower bowl games. San Diego Stat has a good team.

 

[K2C Sooner]

Let's face it. Who wants to go see a lower tier bowl game when you have the beaches in those two places.

It didn't like the OU-Hawaii BB game was a record breaker last night...

 

[soonerfastnloud]

Boy, that BB game was close, hope we beat Harvard tomorrow. I will be full as a tick, and wearing sweats after family leaves.

For bonus points, what year was it when the Sooners played in Hawaii at the end of an unusual (7-5 type) season and the team chose to call that their 'bowl' and declined to go to a fourth tier game ? (at least that's how I recall it; not saying it went down exactly that way)...

ia - I don't remember the year, but it was late 80's/early 90's. Back then, twelfth games were allowed if they weren't played on the continental US.

Too lazy to go get my media guides I have bunch

I know it was during the Switzer years. The team voted down a punk bowl and back then were not tied by conference mandate or some such.

It was the 1983 season. And the record was 8-4

 

[soonerfastnloud]

The Sooners turned down at least two bowl bids, choosing not to play in a bowl game for the first time since the probationary years, 1973-74.

Scott Case, senior free safety from Edmond, established a school record with eight interceptions. The final interception came on the final play of the season a "Hail Mary" pass by Hawaii (1983)

Bonus points earned by fastnloud & Md. Congrats boys, Santa will be making a deposit in your accounts before sunrise (and not the warm, steamy and smelly kind)...

 

[K2C Sooner]

Well, since we're talking Hawaii, which island is the best? I vote Maui...Big Island was nice.

 

[stuck in del rio]

Maui. No contest. Most expensive, too.

 

[soonerfastnloud]

The big island, the only one I have been to. Merry Christmas.

I still remember that hit Scott put on ... senile moment ... Tony Dorsett, who went on to play for the Cowboys. Knocked him loopy. Maybe best hit in Sooner history.

 

[K2C Sooner]

You got your Scotts mixed up. I was at this game and had great seats. The crowd went nuts............

 

[iasooner1]

"Don't be bringing that chit up on in here Tony" ! I remember that play like it was yesterday. We were bad to the bone.

These days that Scott would have probably been ejected for targeting...
