The Tom
Bowl marked its 20th anniversary with a barn burning three-way tie that
left no questions answered about who would be the top college football
team in the nation. It was a snowy covered field that greeted fans for
Tom Bowl XX. A large pile of snow nearly a foot high blocked the gate
leading into Frank A. Shafer field. Luckily a shovel was found to allow
fans access to the stadium. It is possible that the Sooners, Gators and
Longhorns also encountered the intimidating snow bank and, because they
didn't have a shovel, elected to go home or play the game elsewhere.
On a side note, the Tom Bowl suffered its first injury as the Tom Bowl
President slipped on the icy bleachers and hit his shin hard enough that
he ended up at the Central Michigan Community Hospital ReadyCare where
he was given four stitches. Attendance: 13 |
A pile of snow and a fence wasn't going to keep this Tom Bowl fan out

Luckily this Tom Bowl Hall of Famer brought
a shovel. |
