Rose Bowl talk - BigAppleBucky - 12-25-2012
From the Stanford Daily (I'm surprised I didn't see it here)
Taylor and Ball combine for most career rushing yards by starting running backs in Rose Bowl history
http://www.stanforddaily.com/2012/12/23/football-taylor-ball-to-make-rose-bowl-history/
Quote:There has never been a Rose Bowl quite like this one.
Of all the legendary running backs who have played in The Granddaddy of them All O.J. Simpson, Archie Griffin, Charles White, Ron Dayne, Reggie Bush, LaMichael James none has done what Stanfords Stepfan Taylor and Wisconsins Montee Ball are about to do.
Taylor and Ball have combined for 9,252 career rushing yards, the largest total for two starting running backs the history of the Rose Bowl. The previous record, set by Ball and James last year, was a measly 8,069 yards . . .
Psychology Today: The Rose Bowl and Irrationality

Quote:**snip***
Why might this be of interest to readers of Psychology Today? Because there is not one element of my rational mind that thinks I should care about football, or that thinks that football success is a good thing for either of the universities involved, Stanford or the University of Nebraska, or for many of the student-players involved.
Nebraka just scored. Now it's 70-30 with .51 second left. Probably not time for a comeback.
**snip**
And yet, deep in my mind, the old emotions tied to Nebraska, the team of my youth, do not disappear. Nor those tied to Stanford, the team my kids and I followed for many years. The rational mind has remarkably little influence on emotional stuctures that get established early on.

Quote:No matter what the players say, however, losing your coach to another school, seeing the legendary athletic director return to the sideline, watching many of the assistant coaches find jobs elsewhere and finally meeting a new coach qualify as a distraction.

For those with time to kill.
Zach Ertz:

(I'm not at all confident Wisconsin can stop this guy. Halfway decent receivers have done damage to the Badger defense, not sure how well a really good one might do.)

Whew. For a few decades there I thought it was just me.
