Too bad. The fans won't be able to cross into Juarez and catch anything either.

Baylor should offer to move it to McLane, better option than to cancel it outright. A few years back Baylor let Sam Houston play a game in McLane when their field was flooded after a hurricane - so this wouldn't be the first time.

I'll bet they did! Didn't everybody within 100 miles kick up their heels in Mingus? :-) Tradition carried on since the days of the Great Western Trail cattle drives back in the Glory Days! Great story about Ranger playing the first game. Those events are jewels in the crown of America, and I hope they are cherished and never forgotten. Thanks for sharing!Stranger said:Bexar Pitts said:Mingus vs PutnamMrGolfguy said:El Paso High vs Ranger HighStranger said:

The Ranger boys celebrated in Mingus after the game.

The 1992 Sun Bowl was damn sure meaningful.DanaDane said:
Has the Sun Bowl been meaningful since, let's say, 1978?
That was the last Sun Bowl I attended. A great upset of Arizona and fitting way to say goodbye to Grant TeaffRobert Wilson said:The 1992 Sun Bowl was damn sure meaningful.DanaDane said:

Of those cancelled, the Sun Bowl is the only one who has a history bigger than just filling airtime on ESPN.Jack Bauer said:
The Las Vegas Bowl is the 10th bowl game canceled because of the pandemic; the Bahamas, Celebration, Fenway, Hawaii, Holiday, Motor City, Pinstripe, Redbox and Sun bowls are the others.

Actually it was the El Paso high school all-stars from several high schools defeating Ranger in a close game. Ranger was one of the power house teams in Texas in those days. It's my hometown and I knew probably a dozen guys that played on the team. In 1985, the fiftieth anniversary, CBS Sports hosted about six players of that Ranger team and Pat Summerall honored them on tv at halftime. After that first year they started inviting college teams.
My Dad said that the town of Ranger chartered an entire train of fans for the trip to El Paso. The Sun Bowl trophy with all the teams in the history of the game is on a glass case as you enter the front door of the El Paso Airport.
