Well, this story of course, ends in
sadness for Michigan fans. As you may recall, Michigan was defeated by
the USC Trojans, who went on to claim a share of the national title.
But we had a good time. Our original
plan was to wait until near game time to get tickets to whatever team
ended up at the Rose Bowl. At the time, USC was looking to go elsewhere,
and some other team would be coming, which would make getting a ticket
easy. But that plan went away when USC was to come to the Rose Bowl.
Suddenly tickets became very hard to get.
However, Wayne Gray came through with
some Alumni tickets. We were going! We were very excited since a game
that might have meant not much meant a lot - we had a shot at the #1
team.
But as you know, not to be. We got
soundly beat by USC. Not much can be said other than they certainly
played up to par. There was hope, we weren't down by that much, but we
couldn't keep up. I felt the key was their giant line on both sides.
Navarre was pressed as we couldn't stop them from sacking, and the
defense could not get to them at all.
Oh well, we had fun. Here's the photos.
