that's what some people are calling Texas' 38-37 win over Michigan in last night's Rose Bowl.
6 lead changes, a last second field goal to win by one point.
best Rose Bowl i've ever seen, only one that comes close is the 98 Washington St/Michigan game
regardless, i'm glad that Mack finally got the monkey off his back.

finally going at one another.
So nice to see Vince have a great game.
He's got two more years to develop into
an NFL quarterback. I hope he makes it.
There have been many great Rose Bowl games.
The game goes back many, many years.
I guess it's a matter of opinion on the greatest one.
I would just say that this one surely ranks in the
top ten.
What a fun game to watch.

There was a 17-16 USC Victory over Ohio State in 1975 or perhaps 1976 that was a heart stopper. USC and OSU were 1 and 2 at the time of the game.
Standford's 13-12 upset in the 1972 Rosebowl against Michigan was another.
Just to give the Big Ten a fair shake, perhaps the 1947 Rosebowl was great but from a slightly different perspective. UCLA finished the season unbeaten and played Illinois which had two losses... one to Indiana and the other was to Notre Dame. This was the inaugural Pac-8 and Big 9 (before Michigan State was in the conference). UCLA was a heavy favorite and with a National Championship on the line, they were beaten 45-14. UCLA returned the favor 37 years later by crushing Illinois in the 1984 Rosebowl 45-9.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Don't know why Lloyd saved those 2 time-outs.
