The 1975 Cotton Bowl Classic was played between the Baylor Bears and the Penn State Nittany Lions.
This game was referenced in the January 31st, 1999 episode of the tv show family guy titled “Death has a Shadow” where Peter griffin attempted to make amends with his wife Lois by dropping money onto the field. The announcers mistakenly made the claim that a similar event happened during this bowl game, although no such event transpired.
