Cot­ton Bowl Bet­ting One of the Originals

The New Year was offi­cially ush­ered in by the duo of Guy Lom­bardo and Dick Clark, which gave a multi-generational fla­vor to the New Year’s toast. As young­sters, if you’re from my era of the baby boomers, we all grew up with the New Year being wel­comed in by leg­ends from two dif­fer­ent generations.

Guy Lom­bardo rep­re­sented the pre-war (World War II) and Dick Clark was our rep­re­sen­ta­tive. Since we were for­tu­nate enough to own two tele­vi­sions, I could walk back and forth from room to room on New Year’s Eve and catch a glimpse of the rock­ers on Dick Clark’s show while feign­ing enjoy­ment of the Guy Lombardo’s pre­sen­ta­tion that my folks were watch­ing. On New Year’s Day, the tra­di­tion was watch­ing the four Bowl games: Cot­ton, Sugar, Rose and Orange Bowls. Usu­ally, as I remem­ber, they were played in that order with the Cot­ton Bowl kick­off at Noon. The game was played in Dal­las and Lind­sey Nel­son was the announcer. It was a dou­ble treat for me since I had had the plea­sure of hear­ing Lind­sey announc­ing the Met games dur­ing the base­ball sea­son. Invari­ably, my Uncles Joe and Billy would show up about fif­teen min­utes before kick­off, just in time to get in on the Cot­ton Bowl betting.

My dad would argue with my uncles until a middle-of-the-road bet could be placed. The Cot­ton Bowl bet­ting marked the actual start of the New Year in my home. It would also dic­tate my dad’s mood for the rest of the after­noon depend­ing on the out­come of his Cot­ton Bowl bet­ting. Our Cot­ton Bowl bet­ting excite­ment reached a peak in the 70’s when Notre Dame scored a late touch­down to defeat the Uni­ver­sity of Hous­ton to cap­ture the National Cham­pi­onship under Coach Ara Par­sighian. Those mem­o­ries are as vivid today as they were in the days when my dad would call the bookie, and the New Year would com­mence with the Cot­ton Bowl bet­ting. My dad is now amazed at the growth of the pop­u­lar­ity of gam­bling on the inter­net and it ease of use, he now goes to online sports­book Lines­maker to place his Cot­ton Bowl Betting.
