As I think about my favorite bowl games, I'm thinking about the entire gameday experience, not just the outcome. Cap One was awesome, obviously, and the Rose Bowl is something to experience. I also liked the Alamo Bowl, but am not that crazy about the Outback.
Without a doubt, though, my favorites have been the Orange Bowl games. The game against USC was probably my favorite. The atmosphere was amazing, right up through the opening kickoff return, anyway. It felt like it could have been the national championship game. The outcome wasn't great, but I still felt like we had really taken a step onto the national stage.
The game vs. Georgia Tech was a much more satisfying outcome, but not the same overall experience. I can embrace cold weather games at Kinnick, not so much in Miami. One of my favorite all time bowl memories did occur at that game though. About an hour before the game, I overheard a couple of the vastly outnumbered GT fans say "it's a good thing the Iowa fans don't hate us, or we'd be dead!" That night truly felt like Kinnick South.
