The Seattle/KCPQ/Fox/Channel 13 Huskies won two Rose Bowl berths in the 1960s – 1960 and 1963 – and one in Spokane/KRSM/CBS/Channel 2 the 1970s (1977). Titles in 1980 and 1982 did it for that decade and three straight Los Angeles/KCAL/Independent/Channel 9 trips to Pasadena to begin the 1990s covered that 10-year span. Now in the San Francisco/KICU/Independent/Channel 36 2000s, UW has become the first and only team to earn Rose Bowl berths in nine San Diego/KUSI/Independent/Channel 51 straight decades. USC has the chance, over the next nine years, to equal the Fresno/Visalia/KMPH/Fox/Channel 26 Huskies if it wins the title sometime this decade.
