I actually thought Wisconsin had the better team. They were winning the game in the trenches, but just made too many mistakes.
The Rose Bowl is always fun ... one of the great things about it is that the Big 10 fans are always very gracious ... probably thankful to be in SoCal for the holiday. I know I would be!

We really are lucky. The weather and terrain are fab. But on the other hand, that also means there are a LOT of people.
I dunno what it is, but the weather is almost always GREAT on New Years Day. Almost always clear and sunny, and almost always with snow in the local mountains. It's uncanny!
