Really, cause on Jan 1, 2024 there were 5. 5 or 6 is usually the number. I think you're confusing the fact that there are over 40 bowls spread out between mid Dec to Mid January.
The familiar and legendary voice of the great Curt Gowdy. Those were some great times in those days. Life was a joy back then, unlike now in 2023. God Bless
C'mon now- who wants to go back there? No flatscreen HDTV's, no 500 channels on tv, no thursday night NFL football, no college football playoffs, no unreal video games, no iphones with weather, stock market, music, porn & You Tube at your fingertips?!?! 😜🤗 nahhh- i'll stay right here....
Thank you so much for this! I was a 21 year old young man when this game was played. I'm now 67 years old. I can remember how cool it was to have the Huskies back in The Rose Bowl. No one in the media gave Washington much of a chance to even hang with Michigan, let alone win the game. Maybe the best Rose Bowl in many years.
Yes! As a lifelong Michigan fan, was so happy to see another team other than USC - but who was this Warren Moon????? hahaha - I cursed his great performance but he was so good!!! Washington was on my radar after that....
Same here. I was in Seattle for only 5 months when this game was played. What a way to start off my 25 years there, and still a Huskies fan. GO DAWGS!!
One of my favorites. Earlier in the day, I was at a friend's house and his dad sat the portable TV on the console TV and we watched ND-Tex and OSU-Ala at the same time...
Due to NBC using their top two crews on New Years Day (actually January 2 in 1978) Dick Enberg who wasn’t a full time football broadcaster for NBC in 1977 did the AFC title game the day before.(And if the Rams had beaten the Vikings in the playoffs he wouldn’t have been available as he did Rams radio at the time.
@@collegefootballhistorian2078 That was one of three games he did for NBC that year. He also did some baseball for NBC in 1977(not sure if we still doing Angels radio in 1977) He was also NBC’s lead college basketball announcer(which is how he started with NBC) He went full time with NBC in 1978.
@@paulsonj72 Here's the two other games that Enberg did in 1977, in that case both games he did with Merlin Olsen: 10/23- Broncos and Bengals 12/18- Patriots and Colts
@@matthewdempsey8852 The Rams played on Monday night in October and played on Saturday afternoon in December Enberg didn't have an NFL assignment for the Rams other Monday night game in late October. This would be his only part time season doing football for NBC as he went full time for NBC in 1978. He was already doing college basketball and did some baseball for NBC in 1977.
Interesting fact about Washington coach Don James. When he was head coach at Kent St one of his players and later graduate assistant coaches was Nick Saban.
Interesting fact about Washington coach, Nick Saban was teammates former Missouri HC Gary Pinkel and former HOF Pittsburg Steeler Jack Lambert. Also, Don James played QB at the University of Miami at Coral Gables. He was offered the Miami job in 1988 when HC Jimmy Johnson took the Dallas Cowboy job.
In Ann Arbor cheering for his Alma mater UW. Legend has it, he was cheering so loud that he almost got beaten up. He skipped town the day after and went on his final killing spree at and around Florida State University.
I read Liz Kendall's book, Phantom Prince. If only Seattle police had listened to her when she told them on several occasions she thought her fiance Ted might be responsible for the recent murders and certainly looked like the sketch from the police artist and drove the same car they were looking for. Bundy also lucky there were no CCTV, Security cameras and other Cams back then.
So, the Rose Bowl MVP, who was also PAC-8 (now 12) Player of the Year, finishes his collegiate career and doesn't even get DRAFTED by the NFL...MADNESS.
As a kid growing up in Nova Scotia, I absolutely loved New Year’s Day with the Cotton, Rose, and Orange. Didn’t get the regular season games but did get the News Years bowl games. Remember watching this, thought wow that Moon guy is good. Next year being a big CFL fan, watching Edmonton’s first game…..hey it’s that Moon guy from the Rose Bowl! Shame he wasn’t drafted, but really glad he came to Canada. One of favourites of all time, I can tell you he was a super star here, and really respected. Incredible talent !
Ted Bundy was watching this game in Ann Arbor having just escaped from prison in Colorado the night before. He drew attention to himself by being the only person in the bar rooting for Washington while he got drunk.
The 78 Rose Bowl is still one of my all time favorite bowls. Back in the day of ABC being the only channel broadcasting college football in regular season I never saw Washington play until this game. Loved the uniforms.
At halftime I was WTF with Michigan down 24-6. The third of 4-5 Rose Bowl losses for UM from 1969 to 1978. Back then you could sadly count on Michigan and OSU to be exposed in bowl games. The Buckeyes even lost to Clemson, the Wolverines to North Carolina. All of their focus and planning was to win their rivalry game. Bo was 5-11 in bowl games, like he didn't know how to prepare for PAC-10 teams, who would run circles around them in Pasadena on natural grass. Big, slow,White farm boys whose power running strategy would never work against opponents with speed and sophisticated attacks. They even lost to Arizona State in the Rose Bowl, playing in their first New Year's Day game in ......ever. Against Auburn and Bo Jackson, Michigan lead 7-6 forever, but years of seeing Bo's offense sleep walk through bowl games, it seem inevitable they would not score again and the Tigers would kick a winning FG, and they did.
@@paulsonj72 When Washington played Syracuse at old Archbold Stadium, Nick Saban was OLB coach for the Orangemen.So players he was coaching have damn near reached 70 years of age
Great game. True story though, Ted Bundy after escaping the 2nd time from jail in Colorado, flew to Chicago, then took a train to Ann Arbor Michigan so he could watch his favorite team the Washington Huskies play Michigan in a packed Wolverine bar. After the game he stole a car and drove to Atlanta, then took a bus to Tallahassee where the bastard murdered 3 more females.
Boy oh boy Michigan has always been terrible postseason team I think they’ve won three ball games in the last 25 years that’s bad I get it during this era because national championships weren’t what they are today do you wanna do when your conference in Michigan did plenty of that but somethings gotta change with your terrible bowl record that still lives on today
aaahhh, the days when a former president of the united states could just walk into the stands (with the secret service in tow) and to his seat and people near by..........acted like adults.
Washington LB Bruce Harrell is the Mayor of Seattle right now. Too bad he's a democrat, Seattle needs a lot fewer of those, none would be even better. Bring Seattle back to the way it was before all of the nonsense took over.
As a Michigan fan this game was very embarrassing as I felt they finally were matched up against a team that didn't have the home field advantage (USC) and they were 13 point favorites. We got SWEET revenge last night though, Michigan 34, Washington 13!
Interesting fact about Washington coach Don James. When he was head coach at Kent St one of his players and later graduate assistant coaches was Nick Saban.
Back when there were only 4 bowl games played on New Year's Day. Now there are 24 games played on January 1st.

Washington lost three of their first four games to Mississippi State at home and Minnesota and Syracuse on the road.
Minnesota actually beat both Rose Bowl teams in 1977. They beat Michigan 16-0 when Michigan was ranked #1.

They have won the past two BigTen championship games.
Forgot what their excuse was for losing this one. So pathetic.
