CHS-42730[1].jpg
Here's the kickoff of the 1963 Rose Bowl between No. 1-ranked USC and No. 2-ranked Wisconsin. This is considered one of the greatest bowl games ever, as USC takes a 42-14 lead before Wisconsin QB Ron VanderKelen leads the Badgers to 23 points in the final quarter and throws for 401 yards before the Trojans hold on 42-37.
``We're still No. 1 and they're still No. 2," USC coach John McKay says. "They're a good team, but they'd finish about sixth in our league.''

Don't you love McKay? And right he was. Remember, this was the days of having to play both ways...by the 4th quarter the SC players were exhausted from their offensive exploits. But they held on. Hal Bedsole's two touchdown pass reception record stood for about 30 years...And I grew up hating the Wisconson fight song forever.

Yes, and from the end zone you could not see the other end of the field as the day got foggier as the game progressed and we ended up using the portable tv we brought to see what was truly happening. Helluva game though!

Despite this moniker, there's no truth to the rumor he takes pleasure in antagonizing the "Internet geeks."
