1947 Sun Bowl
The 1947 Sun Bowl was a post-season American college football bowl game between the Virginia Tech Hokies of the Southern Conference and the Cincinnati Bearcats. It took place on January 1, 1947, at Kidd Field in El Paso, Texas.〔 Cincinnati defeated Virginia Tech 18–6 in cold and icy conditions that led to a scoreless first half and three blocked extra points by Virginia Tech. The game was the first NCAA-sanctioned post-season football contest for Cincinnati,〔((PDF) UC Bowl History May Include First-Ever Bowl Game ) Cincinnati Sports Information Department, ''2006 Football Media Guide'', Page 36. Accessed December 30, 2007. (Archived ) 2009-10-08.〕 and was the first bowl game in Virginia Tech history. The 1947 game was also the 13th edition of the Sun Bowl, which had been played every year since 1935.〔 In exchange for their participation in the event, each team received $9,438.〔

The 1947 Sun Bowl game was held as the culminating event of the Sun Carnival and was held at 15,000-seat Kidd Field on the campus of Texas Western University, today known as the University of Texas El Paso.〔 The matchup of Virginia Tech and Cincinnati was out of character for the Sun Bowl, which traditionally matched the champion of the Border Conference with the best possible opponent.〔(Sun Bowl History ) Brut Sun Bowl, Accessed March 5, 2008. (Archived ) 2009-10-08.〕 Hardin-Simmons University, champions of the Border Conference, declined a Sun Bowl bid, as did the second-place team, Texas Tech. With no other option, a member of the Sun Bowl Committee—who happened to be an alumnus of Virginia Tech—suggested inviting the Hokies to play against Cincinnati, which had already accepted an invitation.〔Colston, Chris.
