The game was spectacular with the score in 1969 ending:
USC 14, UCLA 12
Okay… I got a bit of the flash in the way… but it is quite a memory for me in 1969. No, this was the year after O.J. Yep, it was also the first year USC employed the talents of ‘Song Girls.” Better late than never.
Here’s how one UCLA superfan tells the story of this game:
1969: USC 14 UCLA 12 SYNOPSIS: “The 1969 game was the first of many bitter disappointments for UCLA. The Bruins led 12-7 when USC faced fourth down late in the game. The USC QB threw a horrible pass that landed far out of bounds and was totally uncatchable. I was sitting in the fourth row and couldn’t see the play, but I saw the ball go over the players on the sideline. But UCLA was called for pass interference and USC went on to win.”
USC pulls off an upset with a 32-yard TD pass with 92 seconds to play. Game had Rose Bowl implications for both teams.
RECORDS: #6 UCLA (8-0-1), #5 USC (8-0-1)
THE LINE: UCLA by 2
The importance of this game was simply… because it was Laura and my first date. I have to confess that this was really the ‘acid test’.Since then, I have discovered that there are women who (gasp!) don’t like football… or don’t understand ‘sports’ (eh?) — as in: ‘he only wants to talk about sports.’
Men, I hope you are listening… when you find yourself with one of these women…. run! Find a woman who knows football… and be happy for the rest of your life!
I even have our first tickets! (Top of blog)

Urban Myer is a ‘legend’ in his own mind. How he ever landed a $ 14 million dollar contract to coach the University of Florida Gator football team is the real story.
Most of us can remember some really great football games… in fact, every generation has them.
With all this talk about Thanksgiving and football, it is important to remember that this past week has also seen an incredible pair of events… from a ‘marketing perspective’– in the launching of two major ‘gaming platforms.’ Even in a
