    My Grandfather made it to the 1937 one against Pittsburgh.

    Because he played for Pittsburgh.

    I did the Peach last year and stupidly the 1999 Holiday Bowl but not the Rose the next year.

    My dad was a manager on the Husky squad that played Pitt

    I did the Peach and Fiesta in the new era

    The Freedom in 89 was the only minor bowl I went to
    Where you played golf with Jimmy Rogers and heard him talk of Gilby taking over for Don James for which you thought BULLSHIT

    Gilby was a truly great assistant. But not HC material

    Why does everyone hate the 2010 Holliday Bowel when the mighty Lockners beat the Cornholers?

    For non-Rose Bowls, I was also at the Freedom in '89 as well as the Holiday in '96.

    UW is going to be the consensus favorite to win the PAC-12 in 2018, and given that the conference’s overall weakness likely limits the possibility of playoff eligibility, the Huskies could play in the Rose Bowl for the first time since the 2001 season.

    Representing the conference in the Rose Bowl is familiar territory for longtime Dawg fans, but it’s been a long time since the Huskies have been back. Mostly to rub salt in @YellowSnow’s gaping “I’ve never been to the Rose Bowl” wound, I wonder who is HH’s REAL Rose Bowl Superioity Guy in terms of games attended.

    I’ve attended six Rose Bowls: UW 1991, 1992 and 2001 seasons. Given my home field advantage and USC graduate school, I also attended USC-Texas (2005 season), USC-Illinois (2007 season), and USC-Penn St. (2016 season).

    UW has gone to seven Rose Bowls starting with the Don James era, so I assume some of you have gone to more total and way more UW Rose Bowls. True? Also, what Rose Bowl was the first that @RaceBannon attended? No way it was the 1959 or 1960 Huskies. Maybe the 1963 Rose Bowl team in the Jim Owens era? He may have been to 8 or more Rose Bowls total with UW playing.

    Who is Rose Bowl Superiority Guy?



    Race actually saw the Ducks win their first Rose Bowel. It was a ways back.
