Pin #127: 2002 Rose Bowl - National Championship Game


This was the first Rose Bowl I went to, and it was the first time the Rose Bowl hosted the National Championship.  That's why my dad and I decided to go.  We thought it would be cool to go to the National Championship.  Plus, we had been to the Final Four only a few months earlier.  This ended up being the least enjoyable of the three Rose Bowls I've been to.  It was cold since the game was at night, and Miami absolutely destroyed Nebraska.  Oregon should have been in the game instead of Nebraska, although I'm not sure the outcome would have been different.  As far as the pin goes, it's a pretty standard Rose Bowl pin, but it is the first Rose Bowl National Championship pin so that makes it unique, and even more special.  And it's a reminder of a cool sports memory for me.
