Bowl season started yesterday as the Bahamas Bowl happened and Buffalo beat Charlotte 31-9. The win gave Buffalo their first bowl win in school history. From a report of someone who was there, it might have been one of the greatest bowl experiences of all time.
Later, Kent State picked up their first bowl win in school history, beating Utah State 51-41 in the Tropical Smoothie Cafe Frisco Bowl. It wasn’t a bad game (I watched), but the Smoothie commercials were unbelievably bad. Maybe that’s what they were going for.
Two bowls, two schools, two teams with their first bowl wins.
