Lemon Bowl?

Can't spell _____ without "UT" right?

And Vacation would be Holiday I think.

Vacation = Holiday.  Doh!

When I was just going down the list, something about "Moldy Moss" lit up.  But when I came back to type them in, I couldn't recapture that.

Very small-time now.  Used to matter in the 70s/80s.

I don't recall Holy Cross mattering in the 70s or 80s either, but I do like the descriptor Moldy Moss. :)

Smash= Blockbuster (get it, Block buster. Am I reaching here?)
Fame= HOF Bowl
Justice= Freedom or, maybe
USA= Freedom

Wait, I got it.

Justice= Freedom
USA= All American Bowl

it wasn't good.  It had an overhead view, and it was diagonal.  You moved the ball from the lower left corner of the screen to the upper right.  The only plus thing about it was the option mechanic worked really well. 
Out of curiosity I YouTubed it. Yes, that was terrible.  Had a “10 Yard Fight” feel which I played religiously until Tecmo Bowl came out and changed my life.

I think it has to be Holy Cross.  I mean if they would put generic Dartmouth in they would put generic HC in. They probably still had a little post-Gordie Lockbaum name recognition going for them too.

I never got into Tecmo Bowl.  Seems like I was the only one, lol.  
I really got into the 1st or 2nd Madden in 93 or so.  I'd exploit a glitch that if you're running the ball and jump as you're being tackled...they couldn't tackle you.  Had Emmitt Smith have a 900 yard game doing that once.  

.
I looked up videos of Super Play-action Football, too, and couldn't find any showing the option play on it.  That part was good and fun.  The problem with the game overall was that a 50-yard TD run took about 3 minutes, lol.  If you watch the gameplay on 1.5 speed on youtube, it actually looks normal.  Meh.

Kudos to BYU - who's website is the first I've found to rival Nebraska's in terms of comprehensive stats going back into the 80s and 70s.

The biggest mystery that I never figured out was "St of ND".  It had Notre Dame (ND), and St of ND.  Thinking about it now, it might have solely been included for the green jersey variant for the Irish.  Hmmph.
