1958 University At Buffalo Squad To Be Honored
Historic Bulls squad to make trip to Orlando and Bright House Networks Stadium.
The epic tale of the bowl-bound 1958 Buffalo team was one of the most prominent storylines during last year's college football postseason, when the present-day Mid-American Conference champion Bulls received their first bowl bid since that 1958 season, on their milestone 50th anniversary. Approximately 23 members of that 1958 squad, plus spouses and families, were feted during Buffalo's stay in Toronto for the ESPN-televised International Bowl where the Bulls faced the University of Connecticut.
The 1958 Buffalo team, whose roster contained two African-American players, Willie Evans and the late Mike Wilson, was invited to play in the 1958 Tangerine Bowl, organized by the Elks Lodge. The use of the stadium was controlled by the now defunct Orlando High School Athletics Association, who maintained a policy banning interracial events. In a show of solidarity for their Evans and Wilson, the entire Buffalo squad, which also included a young Gerry Gergley, voted to not play in the bowl game.
Members of the historic 1958 University at Buffalo football team will be in attendance Saturday, Sept. 19, at Bright House Networks Stadium to be honored at halftime during the UCF football game versus the current Buffalo squad.
In honor of this historic event the local Chambers of Commerce have partnered with UCF Athletics and would like to invite all Chamber members out to take part in this fun filled, action packed game day Sept. 19th vs. Buffalo. Save $5 off your ticket purchase by using the offer code "SAVE5".
