The 1958 University at Buffalo Bulls have been the only team to get a bowl invitation in the 102 year history of the school. They declined the invite to the Tangerine Bowl because starting halfback Willie Evans and defender Mike Wilson, the only two African-American players on the team, would not be allowed to play, according to the Orlando High School Athletic Association, the Tangerine Bowl Stadium's leaseholder.
Exactly 50 years later, UB clinched a bowl bid with a win over Bowling Green to take the MAC East title.
