During Reitz’s state title run in 2007 Mr Football Paul McIntosh had 451 yds of total offense and 7 TDs in a 61-60 Regional win over Columbus East. Yes 61 -60!!! I don’t know what the attendance was for that game but the bowl was FULL!! If I remember correctly it was a Saturday day game and CE had a lot of talent! The Cathedral game in 2009 was also a great environment. Irish were late to the bowl, the streets were packed, a chill in the air and Reitz won 31-10. That was a good weekend for Evansville HS football. Quote
PHJIrish Posted August 12, 2021 Posted August 12, 2021 I attended games at "the Bowl" in 1958, 1976 and 2009. I've never sat on the huge home side.🙂 Quote
EVVHSFOOTBALL Posted August 13, 2021 Posted August 13, 2021 My father told me that Tony Hulman (Indy 500 fame) offered to finish the seating in the bowl if the name would be changed to Hulman Bowl. Reitz folks would not agree to change the name. Can anyone confirm or deny? Quote
