ALAMO BOWL 2011

Featuring the 2011 Heisman Trophy Winner

Robert Griffin III

The Alamo Bowl has never been bigger and this year it features the best player in NCAA football, Robert Griffin III from Baylor University. Griffin led the Baylor Bears to a 9-3 record (with 3 wins over ranked teams) and a ranking of number 12 in the nation.  This season alone, Griffin has thrown for 3,998 yards and 36 touchdowns and should set an NCAA single-season record for passing efficiency.  “Hopefully, it will inspire people to chase their dreams,” Griffin said after receiving the trophy. “I made my dream a reality.”

This game is sure to sell out so make sure you get your tickets!

ABOUT THE ALAMO BOWL

This major American college football game has been in existence since 1993 and is played in the former home of the San Antonio Spurs, The Alamodome.  Builders Square held the initial sponsorship from 1993 thru 1998 then picked up by lighting giant Sylvania who held the sponsorship until 2001.  Beginning in 2002, MasterCard took over sponsorship which lasted until 2005.  The 2006 season passed with no sponsorship which was picked back up in 2007 by Oil Refinery Giant Valero Energy.

The popularity of the Alamo Bowl has grown so much that it has produced eight of the  20 most-watched bowl games in ESPN history to include a 6.0 rating in 2006 for the game that featured the Texas Longhorns against the Iowa Hawkeyes making it the most-watched college football game in ESPN history with over 8.83 million viewers.

Last season in 2010, the 14th ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys took on the University of Arizona in front of 57,593 fans. Oklahoma State took the game 36-10.

This year 2011, the Alamo Bowl will feature the Washington Huskies vs. the Baylor Bears. And did you know this will be the first time in Alamo Bowl History that the current years winner of the Hieisman Throphy will be playing. As the Hieisman Throphy is awarded to the player deemed the most outstanding player in collegiate football, that should make the Alamo Bowl the most exciting College Bowl this year.

Be sure to get your Alamo Bowl tickets soon as this game just may sell out.
