Pin #247: 2004 Rose Bowl


I've been to three Rose Bowls and this was probably the best one I saw.  First, it was an absolute picture perfect day.  There's a reason everyone wants to play in the Rose Bowl, and this day was a prime example why.  Second, the game itself was pretty good.  USC won 28-14 and was in control most of the game, but it wasn't a blowout like the other games I saw.  Finally, John Williams was the Grand Marshall of the Rose Parade and he guest conducted the two marching bands for the National Anthem.  And then seeing the Michigan band perform at halftime was amazing.  They are really impressive and it was cool to see the floating M in person.  All in all, a great sports memory.  As for the pin, it's pretty similar to most of the other Rose Bowl pins I have.  I like the helmets on there, though.
