BuffZone: Mickey Mouse was all smiles – as always – when he donned a football helmet, held a ball and stood next to a pair of coaching legends.
The announcement of the first Disneyland Pigskin Classic featured one of the world’s most lovable characters, as well as Colorado’s Bill McCartney and Tennessee’s Johnny Majors, on Feb. 21, 1990.
There were plenty of reasons to smile, as Disney was to host two of the premier programs in the country in the first game of the 1990 season and each school would collect at least $550,000 for playing the game.
