I'm working on a viewing guide for all the bowls and it got me thinking about which ones I've been to over the years. My list:

Alamo Bowl

Holiday Bowl

Cotton Bowl

Sugar Bowl

Fiesta Bowl

Texas is 2-2 in games I've attended.

What's your list look like?

 
Sun Bowl

Cotton Bowl

Alamo Bowl 

and Texas Bowl (this year)

The Horns are 1-2 when I have seen them.

 
Well I had the opportunity to attend the 2005 Rose Bowl, but before the season began I had planned a trip to Steamboat Springs with a group of my fellow soldiers upon our return from Iraq.  So I gave the ticket to my brother, Lukus, and I watched the game from Steamboat Springs.  I know Lukus had a blast, and I had a good time as well, so it was worth it.

 
'91 Cotton: I'd just assume erase this one from my memory

'95 Sugar L

'97 Fiesta W

'00 Holiday L

'01 Holiday W

'03 Holiday L

'05 Rose W

'06 Rose W

'06 Alamo W

'07 Holiday W

'09 Fiesta W

'10 Rose L

'11 Holiday W

Record is 8-5

 
Cotton

Rose

Alamo

Blubonnet
Had an opportunity to go the Bluebonnet in '87 when we beat Pitt.  At the time, spending New Years Eve with my GF in Arlington was more important than going to the Astrodome for the last Bluebonnet Bowl. 

In hindsight, I should've gone to Houston.

 
Rose

Cotton

Sugar

Bluebonnet (was at Rice)

Alamo

Texas (was called smtg diff at the time)

I think the Rose Bowl is coolest stadium (I've seen a few Rose Bowls games, as well as many UCLA games).  

Cotton 2nd.  

NRG is a nice place too.

And I have seen lotsa Texas losses in Bowl Games.  Most were horrible - dont want to list them.

I had an opportunity to attend the 2006 Rose Bowl game - long story but I could not go... I will always regret missing THAT game.

Going to the 1st rose/playoff game on the 1st

Rose (TEXAS Bama 2009)

Holiday

Alamo

Cotton

Armed Forces Bowl

 
You were smart and/or lucky to avoid the Miami game.
Yeah.  My kids were toddlers then and it was just not a good time for me to go.  I am glad I didn't go - I would have been so angry and miserable.... that games still pisses me off thinking about it.

 
a few cottons including the debacle against miami. the sugar, which come to think of it was a debacle against VT. a couple of bluebonnets back in the day, a couple of alamos, a holiday and the Rose v Michigan (which made up for any and all debacles).

Thankfully, i missed the Freedom Bowl (speaking of debacles).

 
toilet bowl
AKA The Freedom Bowl, featuring Chuck Long and Hayden Fry?

I can remember sitting in the steakhouse in Ozona for that one (deer hunting trip) and everyone keep asking me what the hell was wrong, as if I could fix it.  I just kept stuffing my mouth full of food so I didn't have to respond.  Funny the things we remember.
