[BOSSHOG]

USC 18 Notre Dame 17

My Wife and I, married less then a year, were sitting in the USC Student Section, tickets complements of a High School Buddy of Mine.

Tickets were $12.00 plus .50 tax

“FREE AUTO PARKING”

Still got the tickets.

1. In those days the Rose Bowl featured the Pac 8 and the Big 10.

USC Beat Ohio State.

2. I liked College Football "in those days."

So much easier to keep up with. Iowa beat themselves in this years bowl game. Damnit.

3. Yes they did. Again. They finished 8-5. They should have been 12-1 or 11-2.

6. Yeah, USC beat OSU 18-17 in the 1975 Rose Bowl.

4. I was at the 01 January 1969 Rose Bowl as a married student.

OSU 27 USC (with OJ Simpson) 16

Ohio State was undefeated and named National Champions.

My husband, his ex-dorm mate, and I drove my 1968 red Camaro from Columbus to Pasadena through a major snow storm in Oklahoma. Saw the parade. I still have my ticket stub from the game.

5. Always great to have the ticket stub

Especially 50 plus years later. I was living in Fayetteville Arkansas in January 69. I remember the nasty snow.

7. I didn't live in Fayetteville until 1991.

8. $12.50 each or for both??

I'm guessing each as that was a special event.
Just curious.

9. Each

Didn’t think about the price then, but I chuckle every time I pass by it framed and hanging with other tickets in the garage.
