The Sun Bowl was my first bowl game.  It was so much fun.  I remember I rollerbladed around the UTEP campus the day before the game, until the campus security told me that skating was not allowed.  :(  The pavement there was really smooth, not UNLV smooth but far better than most.

At some point in there, they let fans attend the team walk-throughs.  That was so cool to get into the stadium and watch the team prepare for the game.  At the time I thought it was routine but I have never seen that opportunity at any other bowl.

I also attended a UTEP basketball game.  That was really fun, and I got to sit near a UTEP person that told me all about Haskins.  It was a cool story and better to learn about it from someone that clearly was proud of that history.  I still love the idea that I got to see the great Haskins coach a game.

Then there was that 38-0 game.  Loads of fun.  My guess is that some MSU fans attending the 100th Rose Bowl will have a slightly different memory of the game.

The Sun Bowl was in many ways the best bowl game I have ever attended.  The score made it a perfect bowl experience, but the Sun Bowl organization really does a very good job.  It is too bad that SC tainted our conference's reputation with that group.
