<p>Rice played UCLA with tenacity while losing to UCLA in the latter’s season opener.</p>
<p>With the number of College Bowl games we now have, I fully expect to hear my alma matter announced for one any moment now…</p>
<p>That would be Wellesley College, thank you very much :).</p>
<p>jmmom,</p>
<p>Wellesley has been announced for the “Tiffany Bowl”</p>
<p>cute, audio–
When I was at Vassar, it had just gone coed the year before. My freshman year, Vassar played touch football against Sarah Lawrence. They called it the Pansy Bowl. (no joke-- it was written up in Newsweek).</p>
<p>Okay, it’s official. The Audiophile Tiffany Bowl for the Pansy Championship. Wellesley vs. Vassar (until the Smith/MHC folks step forward to object).</p>
<p>And jym, if any of those new Vassar coeds want to play for the Pansy championship, no problem. Bring 'em on.</p>
<p>I think I can get New York’s finest to close down Fifth Avenue, in front of Tiffany’s, long enough for our contest. I propose that in lieu of helmets, all players sport Audrey-Hepburn-in-Breakfast-at-Tiffany’s up-dos. Exactly what will be the nature of our competition, I’m sure I don’t know.</p>
<p>cangel - Don’t know where you D is in NH, but there is a Chick Fil A in the Burlington Mall in Burlington, MA. I took my dad there this summer (he relocated to New England after a lifetime in the South). I swear, he had tears in his eyes as he ate his chicken sandwich.</p>
<p>I am always amazed at the turns our threads take. And for yet another… I went in search ofr a link tos omethingf about the Vassar-Sarah Lawrence pansy bowl (circa 1972) and found THIS!!!<a href=“http://curmudgeonisms.blogspot.com/[/url]”>http://curmudgeonisms.blogspot.com/</a> It is not “our” dear curmudgeon’s blog, but its a hoot. I laughed out loud at the pic. of Tom Cruise and his honey being married by an alien !</p>

cangel’s dau. is in Hanover…</p>
<p>The store at Smith sells a t-shirt that says “Undefeated in football since 1871.”</p>
<p>Well then I guess the victor in the aforementioned Audiophile Tiffany Bowl will have to play Smith for the Ultimate Pansy title.</p>
<p>Wait a minute, I gave Audiophile the naming rights without finding out how much $$$$ he’s going to pony up. Hmmm, it’s going to be costly to “encourage” those NYPD folks to shut down 5th Avenue. I hope Audio has deep pockets.</p>
<p>LOL I bet Audio has ‘connections’ - 5th ave for a puffy game? priceless :D</p>
<p>One of the little known bowls:</p>

<p>…and of course eager anticipation for the American Standard Toilet Bowl…</p>
<p>jmmom-
The Vassar-Sarah Lawrence Pansy Bowl back in the early 70’s was the guys (ie the males – see SA thread for discussion on appropriate terminology for males/females) playing touch football. I guess Smith and Wellesley get to play in the Tiffany Bowl . No one from Holyoke or Barnard out there wanting to chime in???</p>
<p>Dogwood-
Do you need a “buy 1 get 1 free” coupon for tickets to the Fanfest <a href=“http://www.chick-fil-abowl.com/dnn/Events/MorethanaGame/CocaColapresentstheChickfilABowlFanFest/tabid/121/Default.aspx[/url]”>http://www.chick-fil-abowl.com/dnn/Events/MorethanaGame/CocaColapresentstheChickfilABowlFanFest/tabid/121/Default.aspx</a> (held on Dec 30, before the Chick-fil-a bowl)? Also have a $5 off coupon if you spend $50 on merchandise. PM me and I’ll send them to you.</p>
<p>Thanks jym626, but I won’t be going to the game. I will be sitting in front of my tv with all my Tech gear on, cheering at the top of my lungs. Older D and H will be sitting there in UGA gear, crying in their beers. Sounds like a good day to me:)</p>
<p>Ok-- I must have misread your post # 16 (“we are meeting in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl”) to mean that you were, literally, meeting at the game. I shall put the coupon in the circular file…</p>
