The 1967 Tangerine Bowl was an NCAA College Division game following the 1967 season, between the West Chester Golden Rams and the Tennessee-Martin Junior Volunteers[3] (now the UT Martin Skyhawks). The most valuable players were defensive end Gordon Lambert and quarterback Errol Hook, both of Tennessee-Martin.[1]
Background
The game was one of four regional finals in the College Division, the predecessor of Division II; the other three postseason games were the Pecan Bowl (also played on December 16), along with the Grantland Rice and Camellia bowls (both played on December 9).
Notable participants
Tennessee-Martin's Lambert, and West Chester quarterback Jim Haynie, were selected in the 1968 NFL/AFL Draft. Tennessee-Martin defensive end Julian Nunamaker was selected in the 1969 NFL/AFL Draft. Multiple members of the Tennessee-Martin team – including Lambert, Hook, Nunamaker, quarterback Allan Cox, kicker Lee Mayo, and head coach Bob Carroll – are inductees of the university's hall of fame.[4] West Chester quarterback Jim Haynie, offensive end Don Wilkinson, running back Paul Dunkleberger, and head coach Bob Mitten are inductees of their university's hall of fame.[5]
