Considering it was a quarterfinal game this year. I went to the Wisconsin/TCU Rose Bowl, pre-playoff era, and the tickets were fairly reasonable for a "big game" (more than I should have spent at the time, but I didn't break the bank either). Of course neither team had a chance for a National Title.

It was a great experience though, one I'll never forget. Turned into a helluva game too - TCU had to stop a 2 point conversion at the end to get the W.

My interest in the Rose Bowl died when Fox Sports killed the Pac 10/12. So much tradition lost. PeaceWave Thursday #21
