I didn't like Garden State the first time I watched it either!

Done. 4:17 left on the clock. I'm very disappointed in my performance.

48/48 but I thought too long one the last. Georgia Tech. How could I not think of the Roy Riegels game for 30 seconds?!?

I got Georgia Tech by remembering we got the Cal Drinking Song from Rambling!

Best part is that three of these games are the same damn bowl under different names. Love those corporate sponsorships!

43/48 and oh so many memories from 96 on.

I missed Washington & Jefferson, Northwestern, Temple and Wyoming and the Garden State Bowl

40/48 not bad. Got all of them in the 2000s and I guessed some of the 90s. Was also helped by getting most of the super early ones (it helped that they were all the old bowls). Helped by guessing teams from a specific conference lol.

Ok seeing other replies turns out 40/48 is bad :(

Huh, so that is a school that plays football??

45/48 which is quite good considering I have never really studied the Rose Bowls of the 20s and 30s. Nailed everything from the modern era.

D’oh, how could I forget the gentlemen’s nil-nil tie against William and Jefferson???

42/48 I hang my head in shame.

I got 100% finishing with 2:09 to spare, the only one I had to think about was the bowl game against Virginia Tech in '03. Cal football history is kind of my thing, plus I've been around a looooooonnnng time.

I didn't do too well. The fog of history.

47/48. I needed to remember where we stole the Cal drinking song from for one of the answers .. . and just resorted to listing Big 10 teams for two more answers that I didn't know

For opponent 23 - I really did have a good time.

For the one I missed - is that even a university anymore?

(oh I see it is)
