Still got the tickets.

So much easier to keep up with. Iowa beat themselves in this years bowl game. Damnit.

OSU 27 USC (with OJ Simpson) 16

Ohio State was undefeated and named National Champions.

My husband, his ex-dorm mate, and I drove my 1968 red Camaro from Columbus to Pasadena through a major snow storm in Oklahoma. Saw the parade. I still have my ticket stub from the game.

Especially 50 plus years later. I was living in Fayetteville Arkansas in January 69. I remember the nasty snow.

Didn’t think about the price then, but I chuckle every time I pass by it framed and hanging with other tickets in the garage.
