Cotton Bowl Classic
From the 2009 Cotton Bowl Program
The Cotton Bowl Classic was played at the Cotton Bowl in Fair Park for 73 years, starting in 1936. The Kilgore Rangerettes have performed in every Cotton Bowl Classic since 1949, except for one year, 1951. That is a total of 60 of the total 74 years of the Bowl Game. Every year the Sophmore Rangerettes are given a smaller, women's version of the Cotton Bowl wrist watch that all the Cotton Bowl players are given. Miss Gussie Nell Davis was inducted into the Cotton Bowl Hall Of Fame in 1999.
