It’s an alternate they’ve worn before. Don’t know the history.

It is crazy to think about but consider this:

If any of us had gone into a coma at the beginning of this season and woke up today to see Clemson vs Penn State on TV we'd think it was a CFP game, maybe even the National Championship. 

It is the Pinstripe Bowl.

I wonder how much of a reward this feels like for Clemson.

Penn State and Clemson meeting in the Escape from New York Bowl. Not exactly what either team had in mind.

... remember when Wayne Huizenga and its TV partner Raycom and  sponsors shelled out a ton of $ to secure FSU and Penn St. In the 1990 Blockbuster Bowl.   A nice top 10 matchup for a minor bowl game debut.

It's odd what bowls they keep vs get rid of. They are supposed to be a warm getaway in a fun place to visit. So they get rid of the Bahamas bowl, and keep the Pinstripe bowl.

Probably all those fans of B1G schools bitching about home games for other teams in the bowls, huh?
