      John Madden loved Cal Poly, his alma mater, and the feeling was mutual.

      In a nod to that, the two Cal Poly universities — San Luis Obispo and Pomona — made a last-minute adjustment to their annual Rose Parade float to honor the Hall of Fame NFL coach and broadcaster, who died unexpectedly Tuesday.

      The tribute to him in the parade will be subtle, but keen eyes will be able to spot it. The float is called “Star Grazers” and is a twist on the “Hey Diddle Diddle” nursery rhyme, only the engineering cows are building jetpacks to jump over the moon.

      Near the front of the 55-foot float is a scrap pile of failed rocket parts, which are modified milk cannisters — everything decorated with flowers, of course — and in the middle of that rests a small football that bears Madden’s name with the slogan “Ride High,” a reference to the university’s fight song.
