This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “1964 Tangerine Bowl” as nCAA football bowl game. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as nCAA football bowl game. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q21188849. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1964 and 1967.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
