Classy dude. Waiting for our group to be seated in a restaurant in NB the night before my final wedding (he was waiting with his wife), he noticed a very large ring I was wearing, and came up and asked if it was a Superb Owl ring (it was not). Had a little convo, I paid my respects to him...After being seated, he sent a bottle of champagne to our table...RIP, CSB...Gritty Little Bruin
Terry Donahue played DT at UCLA during the 1965 and 1966 seasons. He was 6’0, 190-195 lbs. Heaviest DLineman on the Bruins was 225 lbs. The good old PAC-8. My how things have changed over the years, particularly the size and speed of the players.
There was also the Giant Killers of ‘67 that beat McKay. 3-0. First version of the toilet bowl.
Absolutely no comparison between the Beavs victory over USC, 3-0, on a muddy field at Parker Stadium. Old-timers still talk about DT Jess Lewis chasing and catching OJ Simpson from behind. Muddy, sloppy field and rainy day gave Beavs the advantage and led to their victory.
The real “Toilet Bowl” was the 1983 Civil War game (OSU vs. UO) at Autzen Stadium, Eugene, that ended in a 0-0 tie.
1983: UO 0, OSU 0. Eleven fumbles. Five interceptions. Four missed field goals. The staggering ineptitude of the scoreless game that becomes known as "The Toilet Bowl" marks the low point for the Civil War.
On the Ducks' final play, with one second left on the clock, Chris Miller throws a 15-yard pass to Kwante Hampton, who laterals to Ladaria Johnson. The play nearly goes the 82-yard distance, but Johnson is tackled at the 14. Officials rule he had stepped out of bounds near the 50 anyway.
"It was almost like neither team wanted to win," said UO coach Rich Brooks, uttering one of the most improbable thoughts in the history of the series.
