The Philadelphia Eagles have had their fair share of exciting games over the years, but one that stands out in particular is their appearance at the 1981 Tangerine Bowl. The team was chosen to play against Auburn University in this annual college football bowl game, which took place on December 19th of that year.

As we know, 'And that's great with us,' is a phrase often associated with the Eagles' fan base. And indeed, it must have been music to their ears when they found out they would be representing Boston College in this prestigious event.

The game itself was a closely contested one, with Mizzou ultimately emerging victorious by a score of 19-17. But what made this game truly memorable was the outstanding performance of Tiger kicker Bob Lucchesi, who hit an MU and Tangerine Bowl record-tying four field goals to propel his team to victory.

For Eagles fans, it must have been a thrilling experience to watch their team take on Auburn in front of a packed Orlando Stadium. And even though they didn't emerge victorious, the fact that they were chosen to participate in this event says something about the quality of their play throughout the season.

As we look back on this game, we can only imagine what it must have been like for the Eagles' players and coaches as they prepared for this big match-up. No doubt, there was a lot of excitement and anticipation building up to kick-off time at 0:30 AM.

Despite the outcome, the Tangerine Bowl provided an unforgettable experience for everyone involved - from the players and coaches to the fans in attendance. And who knows? Maybe one day we'll see another Eagles team take part in this iconic event once again.
