The Tostitos Bowl makes me puke due to bad memories.
So in 1996 Nebraska was #1 and Florida was #2 and were in the national championship game at the Tostitos Bowl in Tempe, AZ. My Christmas present from hubby were first-class plane tickets to AZ and reservations at the Arizona Biltmore (awesome). However, we had no game tickets. The concierge at the hotel got tix for us.
It was very warm on game day. Went to the game. Not only did the Gators get their butts beaten, but when the sun set, it was incredibly cold. When it was clear that the Gators had been skinned, we went back to the hotel, changed into black, and dined at the hotel. I had to teach a class the next day. So we took the red-eye to ATL, hubby dropped me off at work, and I managed to teach my class.
Argh! What we do to support our favorite team!
