Michigan Rose Bowl Pep Rally

As awkward as it is to have to go through USC to attend this event, I'm sure it's even more awkward for them to have to host it, seeing as how they wish they were the ones playing in this game.

Probably logistical reasons for the choice, availability on NYE.  Most schools do either LA Live/DTLA (PSU, Utah & Georgia last year) or Santa Monica Pier (TCU last year) for these sort of things. 

This one's going to have to be spouse and kid dependent, with the parade, alumni tailgate, and game, they may be pepped out.  I hope it doesn't sell out before our weekend plans solidify.
