P.29 Warren Avis died April 24 2007 in Ann Arbor MI. The car rental company is his namesake. Avis idea was to rent cars at airports instead of downtown locations as was common. He was born in Bay City MI. The 1st Avis was at Willow Run airport.

World Almanac Blog Rose Bowl History
In 2008 I will blog on items found in the World Almanac. This is a yearly Christmas gift I have grown to cherish. M thru F you will read items that maybe chronological, topical or random.
Yesterday USC whipped up on Illinois in the Rose Bowl scoring 7 TD's and gaining 633 yards. This sent me to P. 929 to look at past Rose Bowl's. Going back 40 years USC is 13-5, winning in 5 straight appearances from 1975 to 1985 (coaches included McKay, Robinson and Tollner). They lost 2 in a row in 1988/1989. From 1996 to 2004 they did not appear.
In that same period Michigan appeared 16 times winning just 4. They won 2 straight in '93 and '98 coached by Moeller and Carr respectively.
Ohio State had 8 appearances with a 3-5 mark. In 4 games from 1975 to 1985 they were losers. These 'L's' were divided between Hayes and Bruce. Interestingly current coach Tressel has not coached a Rose Bowl.
USC's overall Rose Bowl record is 22-9, while Illinois had lost their last 2 Grandaddy of them All games by a combined score of 94-26.

Snow dumping storm was a miss for us and exits today. Primary concern will be NW winds which will blow snow around and generate lake affect snow.
