Pigskin Dispatch Podcast: The 1919 Rose Bowl

In the runup to the 100th anniversary of Rose Bowl Stadium’s opening, Pigskin Dispatch podcaster Darin Hayes begins a series of forty podcasts with various guests. Ordered chronologically, each podcast covers a different Rose Bowl or collection of games.

I’m the guest on several podcasts covering the early games, including the 1919 game between the Mare Island Marines and the Great Lakes Naval Station. Played following the craziest season in football history, two star-studded teams met on New Year’s Day 1919. Click here to listen, or subscribe to Pigskin Dispatch wherever you get your podcasts.
