2022 Independence Bowl

5x expanded by PCN02WPS (talk). Self-nominated at 01:37, 24 December 2022 (UTC).

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: The topic of the hook is fine, and either hook could probably work, but I'm wondering if there's a better way of wording it just to tighten it up a bit and highlight the jacket a bit more. Maybe something like "Dana Holgorsen coached Houston in the 2022 Independence Bowl wearing a jacket that honoured his late coach and mentor, Mike Leach"? Turnagra (talk) 04:57, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

  • @Turnagra: I like that approach, I'll tweak a little so we don't have to get another reviewer in here to approve. How's this? PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 06:24, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
ALT2: ... that Dana Holgorsen coached Houston in the 2022 Independence Bowl while wearing a jacket that honored Mike Leach, his late coach and mentor?
@PCN02WPS: That looks good to me - though you've already got ALT1 further up. I've changed it to ALT2 and stricken the other ones, should be all good to go for ALT2 now. Good work on the article! Turnagra (talk) 06:32, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
Good catch, thank you! PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 06:37, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
@PCN02WPS and Turnagra: I really wanted to promote this, but I'm getting stuck on whether Winners and Whiners really is a reliable source. Is there any way to replace it with another source? Cielquiparle (talk) 12:08, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
@Cielquiparle: does this one work? [2] PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 15:39, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
PCN02WPS I wasn't sure, so I went ahead and replaced Winners and Whiners with Washington Post (Online) via ProQuest (which you should be able to view via Wikipedia Library).
Happy to see this promoted now by someone other than me! Cielquiparle (talk) 23:48, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
