And now for some history:
Here’s one of the wildest weekends in the Crosstown Rivalry.
In 1966, No. 8-ranked UCLA defeated No. 7-ranked USC, 14-7. Back then, the Rose Bowl representative was selected by the conference, which was the AAUW. The conference members were not obligated to select the conference champion.
USC had a 4-1 conference record while UCLA was 3-1. The conference members met in San Francisco on Monday morning after the Bruins’ victory and voted USC into the Rose Bowl.
“The conference championship was the big factor in the decision,” John McKay said. “We’re just tickled to death we got the vote.”
When the announcement was made at noon, UCLA students were attending a rally in Pauley Pavilion. USC students immediately gathered at Tommy Trojan to celebrate as classes were canceled for the rest of the day.
After the rally, USC students drove over to UCLA and started a huge egg fight that involved 200 students and required eight LAPD units and UCLA campus security to break it up.
UCLA students then shut down the 405 freeway. They were reportedly looking for the USC students.
The selection of USC in 1966 was a reversal for the Trojans. USC lost out to Washington in a 1963 vote and to Oregon State in controversial 1964 vote after the Trojans defeated Notre Dame, 20-17, in a game they trailed 17-0.
Unfortunately for USC, getting into the Rose Bowl was the last bit of good news for the season. USC lost to No. 1-ranked Notre Dame, 51-0, the following week and then lost to No. 7-ranked Purdue, 14-13, in the Rose Bowl.
Tuff college students who would shut down the 405 to smash your face in.
And the ROSE BOWL meant everything.
That's what us oldens grew up with. You kids can have your Bama Invitational
The Pacific Coast was superior to the SEC until the conference championship game and the BCS. Things change
