Obviously this was a very long time ago. Eisenhower was finishing up his Presidency, and All4SU had just turned 40.
To my knowledge, cto is the only person here who attended that Cotton Bowl against Texas. CTO, can you please share with us...
-how did you get down to Dallas? Bus?
-what was the atmosphere like outside the Cotton Bowl? Did people tailgate then?
-how many Syracuse fans were there? Did people wear Orange to games then?
-did you observe any Jim Crow-era discrimination against our players?
-what was the celebration like after the game?
-how did it compare in excitement to the 2003 basketball title?
Did any poster here attend this game or any other game during 1959 national title season? I've said this before, but I can't figure out why QB Dave Sarrette isn't a household name amongst Cuse fans. He was an extremely efficient passer, and led us on our greatest three year stretch in program history.
