Unfortunately I think Summerall's time has past. He was hard to listen to today, unlike when he used to be one of the best in the business.

I didn't know the CB is still being played today? Guess they still kept their time slot on New Year's day.

New Year's Day isn't what its used to be. A few bowls that don't mean anything. Who cares except for the alums who went to the schools. They have a 24-hr Twilight Zone marathon today which is really good. Brings back great memories of growing up. Got a new monitor & watching the marathon as I hook this thing up.

I think the most disinterested tag would have to go to the Colorado-Oregon Cotton Bowl a few years back.

Listening to Pat Summeral durge on with no interest whatsoever didn't help much.

I thougt Summerall sounded pretty good. Better than his last few pro games, I think.

It was a pretty good atmosphere inside the Cotton Bowl. Nebraska traveled well as they always do. Definitely outnumbered the Auburn faithful.

You're all jerks :!: Except the last 2 posts.

I see the Cotton Bowl game every year to remember all the great
SMU, and Longview playoff football games I've seen there plus the
one I watched today.

The Cotton Bowl game should be played every year in Fair Park even
if it becomes a Sunbelt Bowl. Let Jerry the Jerk Jones name his new
bowl somethin else :!: :!:

Even if it becomes bcs.

That was a great episode - wasn't it. I believe Burgess Meredith played that part. Here it is: http://www.tv.com/the-twilight-zone/tim ... ep_title;7

I attended the game with my wife's family from Nebraska and had a good time. I even routed for the Huskers. It might have been boring to watch on TV, but sitting in the sun on a nice day with a big crowd to watch two traditionally great football teams in a close, hard fought game was a great way to spend the day. I even got a few thumbs up on the SMU 1983 Cotton Bowl windbreaker that I was wearing.
