Ex-Stanford Players To Watch '72 Rose Bowl Win
STANFORD (CBS 5 / AP) ―
Former coach John Ralston and members of Stanford's 1972 Rose Bowl champion team will reunite Wednesday night to watch their special performance and gear up for the Cardinal's annual showdown with archrival California in the Big Game.
This is a special time for the Stanford program, ranked No. 14 this week and set to receive a bowl berth for the first time since 2001 and Chris McCoy knows it.
The Cardinal are coming off consecutive upsets of then-No. 7 Oregon and then-No. 11 Southern California.
McCoy, founder of the new media startup YourSports.com, planned this reunion event for the Rose Bowl team and others only hoping for such hype. The commercial-free viewing party of the '72 game will be held at a sports bar near Stanford.
