Summary
Following BTN's airing of the 1998 Rose Bowl on Tuesday night, Jon takes a stroll down memory lane to describe his memories of the game, his "blur" from immediately after the game, some of the 1997 team's unsung heroes, and much more. Then, we take some fan questions on a wide variety of topics, including the quarterback position, the evolution of recruiting in recent years, the team's focus on beating Ohio State, and the best way to cook bacon.
