People forget that this is the third season that USC has handed UW their only loss heading into the bowl game.

In 1959 UW beat #1 Minnesota in the 1960 Rose Bowl after going 9-1 with a loss to USC.

In 1984 UW beat #2 Oklahoma in the 1985 Orange Bowl after going 10-1 with a loss to USC

And now this year #1 Alabama waits for the one loss to USC Huskies.

    I should also point out that we won the national title of some sort each of the first two. Hi baabs!

    I'm hearing Minnesota is claiming a national title in 1959.

    If we lose in the semifinal, can Jen Cohen still award us the natty?

    Race I'n not quite as old but Methusala was bad ass tailback! My question is how good of a wideout was Adam and did Eve have a hot cheerleader outfit?

    About time to fire your intern. 1959 season was followed by a Wisconsin Rose Bowl. Fuck, I tried to use that fun fact to impress my friends and it blew up in my face. Damn you Race!
