I was a charter ticketholder from the very first Bluebonnet Bowl onward. Rice Stadium, I think it was Tulsa vs Mississippi, but could be wrong about that.
There weren't many things like that which I could afford straight out of school, so it was neat to get them - and the teams that played were always either mine or someone's in the family, lol, so lots of enthusiasm.
Heck, I didn't want Oilers season tickets - anyway, my business always had plenty of freebies for that, even Skyboxes.
At least with skybox seats even if the game sucked, it still was a pretty good party with catering.
Wow, one of those great old games that the Mizlou Network used to televise. Tulsa vs. Mississippi sure sounds like it should be right. Wasn't that the Gary Rhome to Jerry Levias team? Ever see the Oilers in the Hennigan/Tolar days when they played at Jeppensen (I think that was the name) Stadium? If memory serves, it was a high school field.
