Can only hope this year’s edition of the Wisconsin-Oregon Rose Bowl is better in my perception. I’m a long time southern California resident that grew up in Wisconsin, go to most ever Rose Bowl regardless of who is playing, and have never witnessed two ruder fan bases than what I did for that game. I was seriously embarrassed to say I was a Wisconsinite. Many times a fan base will take on the character of their head coach and I’m thinking the character of Paul Chryst is miles ahead of that of the loud mouth at the time. By the way the Badger fans were once again beyond rude for the TCU Rose Bowl match-up. I know what I have shared here has nothing to do with the game itself, but it does say something about the character of the programs. I believe Badgers are headed in the proper direction with Coach Chryst. Go Badgers.

How Boise State is not playing one of these bowls is a disgrace. The Broncos are a far better team then Memphis as Penn State will prove…..The polls are a joke and you know they are manipulated by ESPN because they own pretty much all the bowl games now.

Why are the “New Year’s Six” games being played on the 28th?! I don’t get it. What happened to 3 games on the 31st and 3 games on the 1st? These games on the 28th are three of the big six! Why aren’t they being aired in better time slots on better days? The Cotton Bowl? At noon? On the 28th? Yeesh. Disappointing to say the least.
