With its picturesque stadium nestled between two mountains it has become the Twin Nation Vacation, where college football fans can visit two countries and three states. It is a piece of the Southwest and a lesson in history. Ara Parseghian played here and so did Merlin Olsen. Through the years, the Sun Bowl has hosted some of the greats of the game – Tony Dorsett, Barry Sanders, Don Maynard, James Lofton and more recently Carson Palmer, LaDainian Tomlinson, Jonathan Stewart, Chase Daniel, Matt Moore and Joey Harrington have been to the Sun City. For the last 75 years, the Sun Bowl has featured the color and pageantry that is college football. Six of the top 10 winningest programs of all-time have participated in the Sun Bowl and 26 college programs that have won national championships in the past have appeared as well. Through the years, 39 Sun Bowls have been decided by a touchdown or less, including seven of the last 10 games. Through its first 75 years, the Brut Sun Bowl has featured 76 different programs, more than any other bowl in the nation. The gridiron generals have loomed large on the sideline. Sammy Baugh was here, but so was Tom Osborne, Barry Switzer, Grant Teaff and Don Nehlen. ▼ 2009-10 Bowl Schedule Hall of Famers from across the nation Date Bowl Site Teams TV have been to Far West Texas in late December and early January.

DAVIS Norman, Oklahoma 2014 DESEGREGATING THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE: RACE AND COLLEGE FOOTBALL IN THE SOUTHWEST, 1947-1976 A DISSERTATION APPROVED FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY BY ____________________________ Dr. Stephen H.

Hamerla © Copyright by CHRISTOPHER R. DAVIS 2014 All Rights Reserved. Acknowledgements In many ways, this dissertation represents the culmination of a lifelong passion for both sports and history. One of my most vivid early childhood memories comes from the fall of 1972 when, as a five year-old, I was reading the sports section of one of the Dallas newspapers at my grandparents’ breakfast table. I am not sure how much I comprehended, but one fact leaped clearly from the page—Nebraska had defeated Army by the seemingly incredible score of 77-7. Wild thoughts raced through my young mind. How could one team score so many points? How could they so thoroughly dominate an opponent? Just how bad was this Army outfit? How many touchdowns did it take to score seventy-seven points? I did not realize it at the time, but that was the day when I first understood concretely the concepts of multiplication and division. Nebraska scored eleven touchdowns I calculated (probably with some help from my grandfather) and my love of football and the sports page only grew from there.

  • Jackie Smith: Revolutionary Receiver
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 16, No. 6 (1994) JACKIE SMITH: REVOLUTIONARY RECEIVER By Don Smith Jackie Smith wanted to play high school football but managed to see action for only half a season. He had no intention of playing college football but wound up as a four-year regular. He never even dreamed of playing professional football but he played 16 quality seasons in the National Football League. The improbable career of the 6-4, 232-pound tight end completed its incredible cycle in January, 1994, when he was accorded his sport's ultimate honor, election into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In between his aborted attempt to play football in high school and his final NFL season in 1978, Smith, hard- working and determined, fashioned a landmark career with the St. Louis Cardinals for 15 seasons from 1963 to 1977. He finished his pro football tenure with the Dallas Cowboys in 1978. At the time of his retirement, Smith ranked as the leading tight end receiver in NFL history. He had 480 catches for 7,918 yards and 40 touchdowns. Jackie hit his personal high-water mark with 56 receptions for 1,205 yards and nine touchdowns in 1967, when he was named to the all-NFL team. He caught more than 40 passes seven different years and was selected to play in the Pro Bowl after five of those seasons. Not only was he the top-ranking tight end when he retired, he also ranked llth among all career receivers and third among active receivers at the time.
