The GT celebrated its 100th birthday this week. There was a special section put out Thursday with all sorts of historical stuff, including sports.

The staff put together the top 10 Oregon State and Benton County events that were covered. I wanted to link the OSU list, but couldn’t find it on our site.

So here it is in chronological order. Tell me what you think we missed.

  1. 1942 Rose Bowl: First Rose Bowl trip, and it was the only one not played in Durham, N.C.
  2. 1961 cross country national titl.
  3. Terry Baker wins Heisman Trophy
