The 2009 International Bowl was played on January 3rd at Canada’s Rogers centre. This recent addition to college bowl games takes its name quite literally from the fact that it is the only post-season bowl game played outside of the United States.
In the first International Bowl in 2007, the NCAA pitted Western Michigan University against the University of Cincinnati. It was the first post-season bowl game played outside the United States since the Bacardi Bowl was played in Cuba in 1937.
This year’s matchup included two winter warriors: the Connecticut Huskies vs. the Buffalo Bulls.
