It probably says "Birmingham Bowl" on it though !
Oakleys are the sunglasses of choice for certain head college football coaches though.

Some fun bowl stats courtesy of Phil Steele:
- WF is 7-2 in bowls
- WF is 7-1-1 ATS in bowls
- Memphis has lost their last 3 bowl games (they lost to Iowa State 21-20 in last year's Liberty Bowl)
- Memphis lost to Auburn (31-10) in the 2015 Birmingham/Iron Bowl.
- Memphis has a big time rushing attack averaging 6.6 YPC as a team
- Their stud rusher, Darrell Henderson, ran for almost 2000 yards and averages a ridiculous 8.9 per carry
- Memphis' QB Brady White (grad transfer from AZ State) completes 63% of his passes and has 25/8 ratio
- Memphis did not face many stellar defenses; Tulane held Memphis to a season low 277 yards.
- WF's rush D sucked for most of the year, but really improved over the last 3 games (109 yards per game 2.9 YPC)
- WF played a much tougher schedule (#45 for WF; #108 for Memphis)
- Memphis played one Power V opponent losing to Mizzou 65-33
- Tulane is the one common opponent; WF beat Tulane 23-17; Memphis lost to the Green Wave 40-24
- Applying the 75 point over/under and the 5 point spread, Vegas projects a 40-35 Memphis win.
I assume this is post 1979 Tangerine Bowl? I think we are 8-4 all time.
Sauce?
