Sugar Bowl - A Closer Look
One of the beauties of the college bowl season is the opportunity to watch unconventional pairings of teams from diverse areas with unique styles of play. If you had
Sugar Bowl tickets in 2010 you witnessed a classic case in point. The
Florida Gators came in after having their quest for a national championship derailed by
Alabama in the
SEC Championship Game. Undefeated
Cincinnati had their own big dream trampled by the BCS- and then their coach bailed for
Notre Dame. So how would the teams stack up on game day? Would the Bearcats be able to match up with the talented Gators? Would Florida overlook Cincy and come out flat? Holders of Sugar Bowl tickets got their answer in a hurry as Tim Tebow and the Gators went out in style with a 55-24 thrashing. This season promises to bring another intriguing matchup with a new set of questions just waiting to be answered on the field. Traditional powers like Alabama and Florida are prime candidates to be there, but then again you never know in the SEC. Whoever winds up in New Orleans on January 4, 2011, you can be sure that
Sugar Bowl tickets will be in great demand as always.
When you do get those
Sugar Bowl tickets you'll be able to take part in one of the longest ongoing traditions in college football. First held in 1935, the game is tied with the
Orange and Sun Bowls as the second oldest bowl games. Only the
Rose Bowl has been around longer. Like those other bowls, the Sugar Bowl was first conceived as a way to promote a warm weather location as a desirable travel alternative to the cold of the north. Prior to the construction of the
Superdome in 1976, the game was held at Tulane Stadium. It was at that initial location where Pitt's Bobby Grier, amid much controversy, became the first African-American ever to play in the game in 1956. Grier is just one of many great heroes who has thrilled holders of Sugar Bowl tickets over the years. The list of players who have won the game MVP is illustrious indeed, beginning with Bobby Layne in 1948 and continuing over the years with names like Billy Cannon, Steve Spurrier, Ken Stabler, Archie Manning, Herschel Walker, Dan Marino, Bo Jackson, Jerome Bettis, and of course, last year's winner Tim Tebow. With all-time greats like that taking the field on a yearly basis, and with the party always raging both outside and inside the dome, you just can't go wrong with
Sugar Bowl tickets in hand.
