1996 Carquest Bowl

[Empirical Cane]

CTC or Fruity Pebbles for the win!

If you are down for something off the beaten path, Banana Nut Crunch!

Cocoa Pebbles.

I'm a Cinnamon Toast Crunch guy.

You’re right, it was probably Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I liked the Froot Loops more when they got the marshmallows later on.

Where were you during the 1996 Carquest Bowl? At the time, what were you thinking about the program?

I was in the East Endzone. I was 14 or 15 years old so I didn’t really understand sanctions and what Butch was doing.

Was 5 so probably was surfing internet for ****.

Give me a bowl of The Captain all day. Crunchberries optional.

Crunch berries hit hard

I knew, but didn't know. Understood our lack of depth, but figured we'd be good in 97.

Watched it at my sister's house outside Pensacola.

Left with my brothers the next morning for NOLA and UF-FSU in the Sugar Bowl

Watched that game in Colorado at the home of Scott Coors of Coors Beer fame. Robert McNamara was there. This is all true.

Had a better feeling after the 98 Omicron PC Bowl against NC St.

Froot Loops easily Top 5.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Lucky Charms, Cookie Crisp, and Frosted Flakes round out the top 5, in no particular order. Just depends how stoned out of your tree you are at that particular time.

I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that you forgot about Honey Bunches of Oats

Lost me w/ lucky charms. Lol. All these r cavity cereals. Lol. Milk w/ marshmallows didn’t fit well w/ me. And truth be told, I didn’t like my milk changing colors! Lol. When I saw my milk turn red/green after fruit loops, I said something ain’t right w/ this. Lol.

My man! Facts!

I was a kid at the game. That was my first live bowl game and first time ever actually stepping foot inside Joe Robbie Stadium. I remember feeling dizzy from how vertical and high up our seats were. I vaguely remember T. Mack being a badass.

 

[Rellyrell]

Chit; back to the game. I didn’t understand the sanctions or anything like that. I was 14, & recall being real disappointed. Didn’t even know what a Carquest was. All I saw us in were big bowl games: Sugar, Fiesta, Orange, Cotton. So seeing us in an early bowl game vs. January felt weird, but was low key happy w/ the W b/c it had been like 3 yrs since we won any bowl games.

Even worse in 97...

1 FG block, INT return for a TD, and scooped up a fumble and returned it for six.

Fresh out of graduating in 95. I was trying to get as high as I can every day, attempting to smash everything in site and working at a newly opened Tony Roma's in Doral.

One of the best (if not #1) ST performances in UM History....

My man Kenny Holmes out of Gifford blocked a FG as well.

We did also turn the rock over 4 times and allowed a blocked punt (recovered at our 1 by UVag).

Loved Kenny...

The crazy thing about 2 blocked FGs is that their kicker was a Groza finalist if I remember correct. He hit numerous game winners.

Tiki Barber left the game due to injury, returned briefly, but his backup was Thomas Jones. Aaron Brooks came in off the bench for them as well.
