Thank you so much for the links to the 1971 Rose Bowl. That was a wonderful catch.
I started watching football seriously in 1977 and had never seen those classic games, though I had heard all kinds of stories of course. (I might have seen bits of the Stanford Rose Bowls around the house as a kid on New Year's day, but I don't remember it.) It reminds me of how much I would rather see Stanford win a Rose Bowl than a national championship. Like the Giants winning the World Series, it feels like the last big sports accomplishment I would like to see during my lifetime. One item is checked off the list....
