Yeah I've been to a few Cotton Bowls, a couple of Alamo Bowls, and the Sugar Bowl.
New Orleans is a great place to spend the holidays, no doubt about it.
Let's see if I can list them.
1991 Cotton Bowl: Miami 46 Texas 3.
We thought "Texas was back." Texas was most certainly not back. Temps hovered just above freezing all morning, with rain/sleet drizzle. I think I might have gotten frostbite in my toes. Absolutely the worst game-attending event of my entire life, and it's not even close.
1995 Sugar Bowl: Virginia Tech 28 Texas 10
We thought "Texas was back." Texas was most certainly not back. But, we still had a great time spending almost a week in NEw Orleans.
1998 Cotton Bowl: Texas 38 Miss State 11
We thought "Texas was back." And, Texas was sort of back. Jacke $herrill, our former nemesis at A&M, was coaching at Miss State. Beating the snot out of his team felt really good that year.
2003 Cotton Bowl: Texas 35 LSU 20
Roy Williams absolutely took this game over in the second half, and Mack Brown beat Nick Saban. Yay.
2006 Alamo Bowl: Texas 26 Iowa 24
I really don't remember much about this game, other than being relieved it wasn't a Loss at the end of the day. We stayed at my favorite hotel in San Antonio-- The Menger-- and partied on the River Walk for a couple of days.
2012 Alamo Bowl: Texas 31 Oregon State 27
I don't remember much about this one, either. This was the downhill slide at the end of the Mack Brown era and there wasn't much to be excited about.
And that's all, haven't been to one since 2012. We're always camping during the week between Christmas and NYD so unless we were gonna play for the NC or something, I don't think it's likely I'd attend another bowl game.
