2008 Capital One Bowl ticket info

What better way is there to ring in the New Year than getting tickets and watching the 2008 Capital One Bowl in Orlando? This bowl game is held annually on New Year’s Day, often lining up some of the best of the SEC against top teams from the Big Ten. Wisconsin is the two-time defending champion, outlasting Arkansas 17-14 last year and outpacing Auburn 24-10 in 2006.

Besides spending New Year’s in Orlando, fans who get Capital One tickets can expect to get their money’s worth with hotly contested match-ups. Six of the last eight games have been decided by a touchdown or less, including an incredible battle and unbelievable ending in 2005 between LSU and Iowa.

Fans who had tickets to that game will never forget the exciting and improbable ending they witnessed. LSU trailed by 12 points in the fourth quarter in Nick Saban’s last game as the Tigers’ head coach. JaMarcus Russell, this year’s #1 pick in the NFL draft, came off the bench as a freshman and rallied his team with two touchdown passes to Skyler Green. The second score gave the Tigers a one point lead with 46 seconds to go.

After completing two quick passes, Iowa found itself on their own 44 with just 14 seconds left on the clock. In need of a miracle, Hawkeye quarterback Drew Tate found one when he connected on a bomb with Warren Holloway for the winning touchdown on the last play of the game. It was Holloway’s first and only touchdown of his career as the Hawkeyes triumphed 30-25.

The Capital One Bowl has had many great college players over the years. Peyton Manning led Tennessee to a 48-28 thrashing of Northwestern in the 1996 game, winning MVP honors. Current Jacksonville tailback Fred Taylor helped Florida run past Penn State 21-6 the following year, and Ronnie Brown was the difference when Auburn muscled past Penn State 13-9 in the 2002 game.

Beautiful weather, memorable games and great players are all a part of the Capital One tradition. Get your tickets today to the 2008 Capitol One Bowl.

Past Capital One Bowl tickets info

2006 Capital One Bowl tickets are your invitation to Wisconsin head coach Barry Alvarez's retirement party. The Auburn Tigers will be at Orlando, Florida's Citrus Bowl Stadium on January 2, to face the guest of honor and his Badgers in one of college football's oldest traditions. Formerly known as the Tangerine and Florida Citrus Bowl, Orlando has been hosting a bowl game since New Year's Day 1947. Catawaba posted back-to-back shutouts to win the first two Tangerine Bowls. The game has been known as the Capital One Bowl since 2003. Last year, Capital One Bowl tickets treated college football fans with another coach's going-away party and the most exciting finish of the bowl season. Trailing Nick Saban's LSU Tigers 26-25 with only seconds remaining, Iowa quarterback Drew Tate connected with Warren Holloway on a Hail Mail pass for the winning touchdown. Saban was sent off to the Miami Dolphins with a heart-breaking loss. This year, Tommy Tuberville's Tigers - with all due respect to Alvarez - will be looking to spoil the party. Unbeaten last year, Auburn had four starters selected in the first round of the NFL Draft. The effects could be felt early on. The Georgia Tech Yellowjackets upset the Tigers in the season opener. Then, a tough loss at LSU put a serious damper on Auburn's plans for a return trip to the BCS. But, behind the emergence of running back Kenny Irons, the Tigers turned things around, knocking off SEC rivals Georgia and Alabama to earn their berth in the Capital One Bowl. In contrast to Auburn, Alvarez's Badgers stormed out of the gates, winning their first five games, highlighted by a thrilling three-point victory over the Michigan Wolverines. A disappointing loss to the Sun Bowl-bound Northwestern Wildcats ended the Badgers' hot start and losses to Big 10 champ Penn State and Outback Bowl-bound Iowa ended their BCS hopes. A three-time Rose Bowl champion, Alvarez will be looking to go out on a winning note. But Auburn won't go down easy. Tuberville's Tigers have won four straight and appear to be peaking at the right time. It's the Badgers and the War Eagles in a battle of the Big Ten and SEC. Don't wait any longer. Make plans to spend New Year's in Orlando and buy Capital One Bowl tickets.
