My Four In-Person Rose Bowls

I saw the following in-person. Now that the Rose Bowl is going to become even more of a relic, I thought it might make for an interesting thread.
1991 Washington 46, Iowa 34
Random memory: Watching Prince's Under the Cherry Moon in the hotel room. The movie was in black and white and I don't even remember what it was about.
1992 Washington 34, Michigan 14
Random memory: Getting up early the next morning and going to the Continental breakfast to watch ESPN and see if UW won the National Chamionship.
1993 Michigan 38, Washington 31
Random memory: Watching Tyrone Wheatley run 88 yards for a touchdown, and one of my dad's frat brothers lamenting that the Husky D got outran by a "slow lard-ass Michigan running back"... And I was quick to point out Wheatley was a champion in the 110m high hurdles.
2001 Washington 34, Purdue 24
Random memory: Trying to get into the stadium before the game. All the Purdue fans were coming from their tailgates to get to the their side of the stadium, while UW fans were coming from the opposite direction to get to their seats, and it ended up being an epic logjam outside the stadium.

Steve Raible interviewed me after the Iowa game. My ugly mug ended up on TV. I was sporting full face paint and all. I know, total faggotry...
Tyrone Wheatley was a freshman in the 1992 game & ripped a long run in the 4th against our? 2nd & 3rd string defense. I think it was a touchdown. Looked pretty impressive. At that time, I thought if the Huskies were to play Michigan again in the near future, he was going to be a handful.
Should have been there in ‘01 but fagged out for some reason
UW 28 Iowa 0 - my favorite in person
UW 46 Iowa 34
Michigan 38 UW 31
UW over 6th place Purdue go coogs!
Ohio State 63 Petersen 0
I managed to miss the 78 and 92 wins over Michigan but enjoyed them on TV in non HD
Honorable Mention
UW over Sooner Schooner in the OB

Not bad, I guess…
I remember thinking we'll probably be back soon for more but enjoy it now since these things can be fickle.
Little did I know that 3.5 years later the Rose Bowl would be dead.
2019 rose
I should write peterman and demand a refund
