As the University of Washington Huskies get ready for their much-anticipated semifinal battle with top-ranked Alabama Saturday at the Peach Bowl in Atlanta, it’s worth taking a peek into the State Archives for any photos related to the Dawgs and past bowl appearances. This shot shows then-Vice President Richard Nixon and his family riding in a convertible inside the Rose Bowl stadium before the 1960 game between Washington and Wisconsin. The Huskies routed the Badgers that year, 44-8. Go Dawgs!
