Unsourced material

[edit]

The following is unsourced information:

  • The only team to appear in the All-American Bowl two years in a row was Kentucky.
  • Hall of Fame coach Jerry Claiborne coached three teams in the All-American Bowl: Maryland in 1977 and Kentucky in 1983 and 1984.
  • No team won the All-American Bowl more than once, although Kentucky had a second half lead in 1983 and won it in 1984.
  • The most lopsided of the games was Texas Tech 49, Duke 21 in 1989.
  • The closest game was Kentucky 20, Wisconsin 19 in 1984.
  • No team from the state of Alabama (where hosted) ever appeared in the bowl game.
  • Duke's loss to Texas Tech was the last game Steve Spurrier coached before returning to the University of Florida.
  • The very last All-American Bowl game featured Brett Favre. Ironically, it would be his last game with Southern Miss and it was the first game for their new head coach, Jeff Bower.

While this is interesting, we can't use it unless you provide a source. Also, none of this is really trivia, as trivia by its definition is "unimportant information" - it therefore shouldn't be in a trivia section but instead the information should be incorporated into the main article. - Tbsdy lives (talk) 04:54, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Hall of Fame Classic" vs. "Hall of Fame Bowl"

[edit]
  • The souvenir program from 1981 consistently refers to the game as the "Hall of Fame Bowl", on the cover, on the logo reproduced several times, on the bowl committee's letterhead, and on the photos of the official trophies. --Dystopos (talk) 18:23, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
