For that wild ride, that was one heck of a team. I was at the Rose Bowl when we beat Sc by 18 as I recall, then had to play that fateful makeup game against Miami, where the officials and off the field controversies destroyed a legitimate shot at a National Championship, heck, I'll say it - we would have WON the first BCS Championship in a rematch against Tennessee. But, it was not to be - instead, here we sit nearly 20 years later with that season being our last conference championship, our last Rose Bowl, and our last BCS bowl. We're now lumped in with Arizona and Oregon State with the distinction of the only Pac-10 schools to have not won or shared a title since then. In that time we've gone from Powder Keg Blue to baby powder blue. It has not been a trip for the weary. |
