Talk:Bowl game

Bowl game being named after Rose "Bowl"
It probably should have a cite, considering: (1) the 1st RB game was not played at the RB (it was at Caltech) and (2) the stadium was shaped like a horseshoe until they closed the South end in 1928 (and it was first a bowl for the 15th game). --Bobak 21:42, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

1987 Toilet Bowl
No discussion of using the world "Bowl" would be complete without mentioning the 1987 Toilet Bowl between a 1-7 University of Kansas and 0-8 Kansas State that ended in a tie.--Paul McDonald 13:00, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I would argue that there's an equally (if not more) famous Toilet Bowl: the 1983 Civil War between Oregon and Oregon State. To take the Wikipedia article on the rivalry: "The 1983 contest between the two teams produced a scoreless tie. Played during a rainstorm (and pitting two mediocre squads against each other), the game is commonly known as the "Toilet Bowl", due to the poor quality of play exhibited in the game (it was not a steadfast defensive struggle). No NCAA Division I football game has ended in a scoreless tie since, and due to the recent introduction of overtime into NCAA football (which eliminated ties), it is unlikely to ever happen in the future, unless a subsequent rule change allows tie games to once again occur." As I recall, the term came up when one of the University presidents was asked about the game afterwards... I think both games can be included as notable "Toilet Bowls".  :-) --Bobak 20:24, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

The FSU Bowl Streak
I know they have vacated wins from several years back due to the open book test cheating scandal (yeah, you read that right), but FSU owns the current bowl streak. No one can vacate their bowl appearances, since they went to the bowls. There are many articles which can be referenced regarding the ongoing bowl streak.

Wrong, you don't seem to get the point of punishments, those seasons contained games that were unofficial because of we have no idea how those games would have turned out had they played by the rules -- therefore there is also no way to tell if they would have appeared in a bowl or not had they stayed within the rules. By saying they did appear physically so we cannot take the appearance away you are using sketchy semantics to get around the fact that to the NCAA it means the bowl streak 'officially' ended. "Because of the vacated win, the appearance is also vacated, according to NCAA bylaws: "In compliance with the intention of the Committee On Infractions penalties, all team and coaches’ streaks (such as wins, postseason appearances, team statistical streaks, and so on) are terminated by the vacancy of a contest."

Although FSU lost both their win and appearance as a result of the academic cheating scandal, UCLA is not permitted to count the game as a win; the record books are officially amended asif the game were never played"

(not technically ended, yes they did physically appear in those bowls) Isn't wikipedia supposed to care about what is official, or is it a place where they decide their own rules? We should at least add some text here indicating 2006 had a vacated appearance in a bowl game. 2606:A000:4ACA:DF00:5D4:77E9:7F31:DCFA (talk) 01:02, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
