Talking College Football History: Bruce Skinner

We have a special interview this week with Bruce Skinner, who was the Fiesta Bowl Executive Director from 1980-1990.  Bruce was a member of the Fiesta Bowl committee starting in 1973 and became the Executive Director in 1980.  He was directly responsible for the bowl transforming from a Christmas Day game in 1980 to a New Year's Day game on 1/1/1982.  Bruce was also involved with the great Penn State/Miami game on 1/2/1987 and also being the first bowl game to start corporate sponsorships.  Enjoy this conversation as Bruce Skinner takes you inside the making of the Fiesta Bowl.
