I was finishing my last quarter at UCLA and waiting to go into the Army. It was a great time to be alive.
(I've known ever since that day that OJ was guilty.)
Jun 67 I had just arrived at Los Angeles Air Force Base, from U of Michigan. I had a little family enjoying Manhattan Beach so I was not aware of the UCLA USC rivalry. Michigan Ohio State,yeah.
Over the 30 years we lived there, my wife chose UCLA over USC which was too snooty in her book.
My kids went away to college.And never were football fans.
2017 USC/UCLA is a game for the ages???
USC is overrated and UCLA is awful....what year is this guy referring to?
I didn’t see the game in 1967. On that day, I was at a picnic with my high school German club (far more high school students were studying German in 1967 than is the case today). But I’ll be in the Coliseum this afternoon to cheer on the Trojans.
I was there ... a missed extra point by Zenon Andrusyshyn was the difference in the game.
I enjoy viewing clips of classic college football games from the 50’s and 60’s. My initial impression is always how relatively small those players were compared to today’s behemoths.
Finished my MS at USC in Jan. 81.
I was in town for one of the rivalry weekends a few years earlier at a bar/restaurant called The Black Whale.
What a great time!
Oh, yeah; I remember that game. 21-20. I was a rabid UCLA fan and I hated — and still do! — USC.
I will never forget watching my first football game. It was either ‘44 or ‘45 in the Coliseum, SC played UCLA. Don’t remember the score, but SC won. They had the Hardy brothers.
It was the day after my tenth birthday fifty years ago, and I was there in the Coliseum. It was I think my fourth trip to Los Angeles from where I lived in Orange County. My brother took me. I remember it well! I’ve been a USC fan ever since.
There’s no reason on earth that UCLA should win today, but this series is noted for shocking upsets. If it happens that way, it will really Bruin my birthday weekend.
I bet my parents were at that game! Both UCLA grads and lifelong season ticket holders.
Norm Dow coached Live Oak HS football in Morgan Hill until a few years ago. He retired from coaching, but I believe he is still teaching at Live Oak. He’s a great guy and was a great coach.
