The IBM OS/2 Fiesta Bowl may not have been the most memorable bowl, but it was certainly the most forgettable. Incidentally, my company used that operating system until 1998 when hardly anybody else was, yet we got no free swag.

Along the same line, I have a rally towel from "Hankook Tire, the official tire of the Washington Nationals" (baseball team). I have no idea why a baseball team would need an official tire. The rally towel is currently wedged above the door hinge to keep the cat from shutting himself in the bathroom.

I remember advocare but I didn't know that basically a whole city sponsored a bowl game over one thousand miles away from where it's located.

Who knew about all of this. So easily forgotten. Great review of some of football’s flimsy past.
