2007 James "Brad" Bradley

Players and coaches have come and gone over the past 70 years, but there is one special personality that has remained constant at the AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic. His name is James Bradley, but everyone calls him Brad. He jumped on the Southwest Conference football beat in the fall of 1947 and covered his first Cotton Bowl game on New Year's Day, 1948, when the legendary Doak Walker was in his heyday. Through the years, Brad became college football's favorite photographer. Few can match his years of service to a bowl game. A permanent fixture at the AT&T Cotton Bowl, his streak of consecutive games worked has reached an unprecedented 59 games.
