Dixie Classic (bowl game)

The Dixie Classic was a post-season college football bowl game played at Fair Park Stadium in Dallas, Texas, following the 1921, 1924, and 1933 seasons.[1] It was phased out in favor of the Cotton Bowl Classic. The 1922 game is famous for the beginning of the Texas A&M 12th man tradition.

This event is not to be confused with the Dixie Bowl, another college football post-season game staged in Birmingham, Alabama in the 1940s. For other uses, see Dixie Classic (disambiguation).
