Fiesta Bowl through the years
ASU were kings of that league but I have no clue if they were really any good back then since I wasn't there! race was maybe he could tell us about them
So anyway ASU played in it most every year in the '70s and even won against a classy Nebraska team ranked in the top ten in 1975! The traveling husker faithful gave a standing ovation to the devils as they left the field that is still talked about to this day
Once ASU left to the PAC ten, the fiesta told the wac to fuck off and leave! It became a premier bowl in the 80's with great intersectional matchups and featured teams like Michigan, Miami, ohio state, Florida state and Penn State with Joe pa and his good pal jerry running the defense. Washington was busy winning rose bowls and popping off during this era but the Fiesta bowl was officially a GOOD postseason game
By the nineties and into the new millennium the Fiesta was hosting national championship games every four years supplemented with other top matchups on years they didn't. Oregon state won one with a pass happy offense led by a diminutive walk on with dyslexia, who with the help of the stadium groundskeeper and a shy tutor, never gave up and fulfilled his dreams.
Even Oregon won one! It wasn't a rose bowl win but I remember duck fans popping off like it was anyway
Peterman won two Fiesta bowls with Boise state and then left The mountain west to play night games on Fridays in a REAL football conference
This will be washingtons first trip to the Fiesta and now the DAWGS will get the chance to go down in HISTORY as Fiesta bowl CHAMPS against a peen state I never root for whether THEY are plying the DAWGS or NOT and I WILL not root for them the REST of the WAy either!!! MAKE SENSE!!?!???

Why do you hate Oregon winning one against K-State a few years ago?
I remember walking up and buying two tickets to the Oklahoma vs. WVU game for $10 at the window right before kickoff, always special.
Oklahoma actually turned down an invite to it a few years back. UConn made one for fucks sake. -

I wrote a little about this in my top ten ASU games. We played ASU in 1975 in James first game. That was a GOOD ASU team
I watched that Holiday Bowl as well. We didn't have 40 bowl games so the few non new years bowls got my attention.
For the kids
In 1975 there were the three networks. There were independent networks that would broadcast games like the Fiesta Bowl and get picked up by your local station. Dick Enberg got his start on one of these.
The UCLA Houston game of the century from the Astrodome was on independent TV. So was most of the Big Dance which was little back then. By 75 NBC was finally broadcasting both days of the Final four
No Pac 8 or Big Ten team could go to a bowl other than the Rose. Win or stay home. The two leagues finally allowed other bowls around 77 or 78 which directly led to the proliferation of bowls. Even so in the 80's there were about half as many as we have now
And we didn't have porn on our computers because lets face it, nobody had room for a main frame in their house and the internets were for military to watch porn on. We had to buy Penthouse magazine.

I remember finding my uncles porn stash of Hustlers and Penthouse when I was 12. It was Nirvana.

"Fiesta Bowl" is "cultural appropriation" according at any political/pseudoacademic college major ending in the suffix "studies."
