Rose Bowl Open Thread
The Granddaddy of them all! The 100th Rose Bowl. Number 4 Michigan State vs. Number 5 Stanford. Who are you guys taking in this game and why? I like Stanford so I wouldn't mind to see them win. I do think the perception of the Big Ten is somewhat important, but I also don't think the Big Ten being that great matters a whole lot. I'm cheering for neither team though. I am just hoping for a good quality game.
The line favors Stanford by 5.5 points. Michigan State has the best defense in the country. Stanford has one of the best ground and pound teams in the country.
F/+ Projection: Stanford 20, Michigan State 11
Win Probability: Stanford 73%

when singers don't even make an attempt to sing the national anthem like it's written? This was terrible, Winter Classic wasn't much better.

Vin Scully just turned 86. He replaced Ernie Harwell in 1950 as Dodgers' announcer.

I was thinking the same thing. I like the massive rose that usually consumes midfield.
January 1st, 2014 at 5:26 PM ^
Between both teams with their manball and the Chevy truck commercials there's so much manliness I don't know what to do.

Would have been a big catch there for Stanford. They pretty much gave up after the penalty.
