Nearly 100 years ago, the Ohio State Buckeyes made their first trip to the Rose Bowl. Well, at least that’s what we call it today. Back then, it was the Tournament East-West Football Game. In 1921, the Rose Bowl Stadium as we know it wasn’t built yet; the stadium that was there, though, was Tournament Park — hence the name of the game.
Football was also a little different then, too. While the Big Ten existed, the Pac-12 did not. Instead, it was the Pacific Coast Conference. Granted, it’s worth mentioning that the Big Ten was still in its infancy, as it was beginning to shred off the names “Western Conference” and “Big Nine,” which were their previous conference names before getting to ten schools.
