Ever since it was founded in Dallas, Texas in 1937, the Cotton Bowl has signified excitement and novelty. From that audacious moment in 1954 when Alabama's Tommy Lewis leaped from the bench to tackle Rice's Dickey Moegle (an outrageous move which saw referee Cliff Shaw award a touchdown, even though Maegle had been decked at the 42 yard line), to the breathtaking 1970 clash between Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Texas Longhorns, when Notre Dame led 17-14 late in the fourth quarter, only for the Longhorns to score a touchdown, clawing their way to a 21-17 victory and a national championship, the occasion has shone like a beacon in the college football world.

It was recently announced that the famous game will move from its much-loved home to the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, in 2010. Officials plan to incorporate a strong bid to include the Cotton Bowl into the Bowl Championship Series when the present agreement featuring the Rose, Sugar, Fiesta, and Orange bowls expires in 2010. This date will be coming around sooner than you think, so move quick to secure your Cotton Bowl tickets, and enjoy some of the last big-time action at the Cotton Bowl Stadium, a monument soon to become a memory in the hearts of true football fans.
