The 1961 Rose Bowl was the 47th Rose Bowl game, played on January 2, 1961, in Pasadena, California. The Washington Huskies defeated the top-ranked Minnesota Golden Gophers, 17–7. Washington quarterback Bob Schloredt returned from a mid-season injury was named the Player Of The Game for the second straight year.[2] As New Year's Day fell on a Sunday, the major bowl games were played on Monday.
This was the first season of the new agreement with the Athletic Association of Western Universities (AAWU) to send their champion. Its predecessor, the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC), had dissolved after the 1958 season. The Big Ten was no longer in a formal agreement with the Rose Bowl following the demise of the PCC:[3] Big Ten champion Minnesota received and accepted an "at-large" invitation.
Race: In the Oregon-Washington football series, Washington currently leads, 60-48-5.
I hope to live long enough to see Oregon take the lead in that series. That was unthinkable 20 years ago.
Oregon cares more. Period.
A special shout out to Barbara Hedges (USC graduate), Jen Cohen (SDSU graduate) and K.J. “Karen” Ramming for aiding and abetting the Ducks in their quest.

Best team in the country.
Fucking LOL.
Zeros reduced to claiming Georgia
Represented a five-team Conference.
Oregon claims No Natty’s, not phony crap like the 1960 Natty and a Natty in 1991, when you were co-champions.
If my team was as bad as yours has been in this century, I’d be grasping at straws, too.
The Oregon meme with Lanning is ridiculous.
You remember that 1960 National Championship team, Race?
How old were you, four?
Try repping the Huskies in the 21st century . . .
