Sounds like someone who hasn’t eaten carne asada on a golf course before CFB paradise. MT @38godfrey: […] to hell with the Rose Bowl.

There are people in the stands crying because of this wedding. Probably because they thought they were gonna see a Kermit balloon.

I miss the days when the Tournament of Roses was to the death.

Brent just hit the “you’re looking live at the Rose Bowl.” I feel like we’ve been given clearance to land.

Barry Alvarez just hit that fake. “I’m gonna run out of the tunnope, just gonna briskly walk”
— Brian Floyd (@BrianMFloyd) January 1, 2013
Barry Alvarez smiled, once, in 1974. Didn’t care for it.

Andrew Luck with the intros, sponsored by the American Milk Allergies Council

Good to know Andrew Luck still sounds exactly like the obscured anonymous victims on 48 Hours do.

He’s been up all year eating gummy bears. RT @edsbs: Andrew Luck has not cleared his throat. Ever.

People said that sentient race of jolly rock formations would never amount to anything, but Barry Alvarez has done okay for himself.

You could almost hear Stepfan Taylor thinking out loud on that play: “Follow the fat guy follow the fat guy come on fat guy go fat guy”
— edsbs (@edsbs) January 1, 2013
The Badgers almost got on the board three times! But instead, they got on the board no times! Whoops!
— SB Nation (@sbnation) January 1, 2013
These Stanford defenders absolutely refuse to be blocked. Fantastic technique. Shed blocks better than any team in country.

Uh oh. It’s halftime and the Stanford band is doing some sort of tribute to cheeses.
— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) January 1, 2013
Much to love about the Stanford band but nothing more than its disregard for any accepted standard of musicianship.
— Matt Hinton (@MattRHinton) January 1, 2013
Wisconsin’s band director just all like “PRANCE MY PRETTIES! PRANCE LIKE THE WIND!”

The beautiful backdrop as the sun sets in Pasadena twitter.com/BryanDFischer/…

In another life Ryan Hewitt and Beau Allen were in the same Whitesnake cover band.
— Matt Hinton (@MattRHinton) January 2, 2013
Barry Alvarez looks like unmasked Darth Vader.
— Kaitlin (@kaitlinwithani) January 2, 2013
Five seconds left in a third quarter that’s included seven punts.
— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) January 2, 2013
I’m starting to harbor the ugly suspicion that this Rose Bowl game is a fascinating chess match.
— Brian Phillips (@runofplay) January 2, 2013
The best part about that fake dive/outside toss play: the fullback diving over the top without the ball like wheeeeee.
— edsbs (@edsbs) January 2, 2013
It’s tough to overthrow a 6-8 guy.
— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) January 2, 2013
Overthrew him by an entire Osweiler
— Brian Floyd (@BrianMFloyd) January 2, 2013
In consecutive years Stanford has had to replace a Heisman runner-up, a head coach & another Heisman runner-up. Record in those years: 34-4.
— Matt Hinton (@MattRHinton) January 2, 2013
“Doesn’t anyone else want their name here?” said day manager Delany, leaving “Pat Fitzgerald” up as employee of the month. Again.
