States Challenge Cup

Welcome to Drew Montag's States Challenge Cup pages.

New for the 2010-2011 bowl season, these pages are now dynamically generated from a MySQL database using PHP scripts, with a little Javascript thrown in for fun.

I've entered all the bowl information for 1999-present, with several ways of looking at it. Be sure to try out all the new menu options (Display Team, Display Bowl Season, etc.), and try out the internal links for seasons, bowl, state, team, and conference names.
