Offered is a 1970 Lou Holtz Tangerine Bowl award. The handmade silver bowl was presented to Holtz by the College of William & Mary administration, in recognition of the coach's accomplishment of winning the Southern Conference Championship and advancing to a bowl game for the first time since 1947. The bowl is engraved on the front "Tangerine Bowl 1970 Coach Holtz W&M Educational Foundation". Under the bowl, the maker's mark and the legend "Williamsburg, Virginia Handmade" is engraved in black. The bowl has some tarnish, and two black marks on the lower base, but is otherwise intact. The 1970 Tangerine Bowl was held on December 28, 1970, at the Tangerine Bowl stadium in Orlando, Florida. The game pitted the #15 AP-ranked Toledo Rockets against the William & Mary Indians (now the Tribe), and ended with a 40–12 victory for the Rockets. This was the 25th playing of the Tangerine Bowl, a former name of what is now called the Citrus Bowl. This item comes with a LOA from Lou Holtz, and 100% of the net proceeds from the sale of this item will benefit the Holtz Charitable Foundation, Inc.
