It has been six decades since Wallace Butts was the head football coach of the Georgia Bulldogs, but his legend (and spirit) still hover over Sanford Stadium where his teams were often dominant on fall Saturdays, especially in the 40s.
Before Butts fielded his first bowl team, the little community of Athens had its heart set on an invitation to a post-season game. Naturally, the big objective was the Rose Bowl. Suddenly there were invites from the Orange, Rose, Oil, Sugar, Gator, Orange again, Gator and Presidential Cup—all in the span of a dozen years. Butts became known as the Bowlmaster.
