The Tangerine Bowl started in 1947 and lasted until 1982.
The Minutemen, featuring players like Bob Gogick and Jerry Whelchel took a 13-0 lead before giving up two touchdowns to East Carolina.
A very kind blog reader has sent me the UMass Daily Collegian's pregame coverage of the game. Special thanks to him for supplying some important UMass football historical information. I'll add the images to the "UMass historical scans" portion of the blog.
