That is funny because when we did it in 1996 we had no cellphones and got our directions out of a triptick from AAA and a US road Atlas.

Pre-GPS one of the greatest things about the Interstate Highway System is that you hardly need a map to use it. Here are off-the-top-of-my-head directions from Ohio to the RoseBowl:

• Head toward Columbus (unless you live West of Columbus in which case head for Indianapolis).
• I70W to St. Louis.
• I44W to OKC.
• I40W until it ends in Barstow, CA.
• I15S toward LA (I15 might not be right but just follow signs for LA).
• Get off in Pasadena. 
• RoseBowl is at the bottom of the hill, you really can't miss it and there are probably signs.

Sorry, you'll end up in San Diego...

Gotta get off the 15 and take the 210W to Pasadena once you get to the bottom of the mountains.

Is 210W the San Bernardino freeway?

I think my directions would have gotten close enough to see a "210W, LA" sign.

I-70 west to I 15 south. Then what Bwarb said, regarding SoCal.

Depends on season. The 44/44 route is further South. In winter (RoseBowl) that is generally preferable. 

It DOES snow in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona but not generally as much as Nebraska, Colorado, and Utah.

I've told this story before...

I moved to California (San Jose) at the very end of Dec 2000. Obviously this was right before the 2001 Rose Bowl with Purdue, so I got tickets and planned to meet my buddies down there. I couldn't get into my apartment until something like January 6. 

So I filled my car and my sister (and her husband's) truck, left Chicago to go to their place on Lake of the Ozarks, and then they drove with me out to San Jose because they wanted to look at a boat somewhere in the Pac NW. We went to KC, drive north through a blinding snowstorm on I-29 until hitting Lincoln IIRC, then jumped on I-80 west. Could have used "The Club" and taken a nap through NE and eastern WY because the road was so straight. End up heading through WY/UT/NV/CA to get to San Jose. One night, drop all my crap in a storage unit, and then I'm heading down to LA.

I didn't have a cellphone. I was in a state that I'd never been except for my job interview. My "map" was basically a foldable CA map. I was supposed to meet my buddies at a Purdue pep rally thing somewhere off Wilshire Blvd in LA. I'm headed down Hwy 101 and stop off for gas and to use a pay phone to call my ONE buddy with a cell phone in Ventura, and ask the guy at the gas station how to find this place off Wilshire in LA. He looked at me like "why the **** would I know that?! This is Ventura!"

I ended up making my way into LA, exit Wilshire, pulling up right behind a (IIRC) Ferrari 360 Modena while I'm in my 1985 Chrysler LeBaron Turbo thinking "I don't belong here", finding my way to the pep rally, locating my friends, and that was the start of a great time (other than not winning the game). 

No internet. No Google Maps. No cell phone (except for *one* buddy). And yet it all worked out. 

I don't think today's kids could do that. Hell, I'm not sure that *I* could still do that. 

The world has changed. 

Iowa is in trouble. Their ENTIRE offensive playbook got released online. I’m not sure how they are going to achieve their goal of 25 points per game when all of their opponents have all their plays. Their defense is going to have to put up some points to reach that goal
