Whenever Penn State’s bowl destination is announced, I enjoy recalling memories of their trips to that bowl. However, not much came to mind for the Cotton Bowl, despite its rich history as a prestigious bowl game. That would be because it’s been 44 years since Penn State last appeared in the Cotton Bowl, which was seven years prior to my birth (now you can figure out my age if you happen to be some kind of a math genius).
Penn State will be playing in its fourth Cotton Bowl when they square off with Memphis on Dec.
