My folks went to the 1961 Rose Bowl where UW beat Minnesota for the natty (quack) They brought back the year book from the game that had a season recap for both teams UW had beat USC under new coach John McKay 34-0. That was a big win. USC would win the natty in the 63 Rose Bowl. In the 63 season UW beat USC 22-7 to win the AAWU title followed by the obligatory loss to UCLA in a Rose Bowl season.

Then a long spell of USC dominating everyone including UW. James came in 1975 and beat John McKay who had announced his retirement to go to the NFL. Broke a ten game losing string. Warren Moon went around the end for a clinching 70 yard TD in 77 to wrap that Rose Bowl bid up. And yes they lost to UCLA.

From then to the mid 90's USC was the game and the standard

I get why younger folks laugh at us olds and our fascination with USC but it was earned. Sure USC sucks now, as does UW again unfortunately, but a certain magic still lingers when you say the name

Oregon is the big game now. No question
