Yes, obviously. Which is why I made it so over the top and obvious even a dumbass could have figured out it was a joke. :D

I never watch it, but considering how many people put in all the effort just for the morning session of the day (Rose Bowl Parade) I think its fair... not my thing... but it is somebody's. To me though, its hard to see it as anything other than a football game since I don't have any B10-P10 ties... imo, this game not being B10-P10 loses something to me... but that was their choice.

I thought the BCS forced this upon the Rose Bowl Committee. They wanted Standford but because of the new rule foisted on the by the BCS, they are forced to take a Non-AQ if they qualify and a Pac10/Big Ten team is in the BCS Championship.

That choice was kinda forced on them though...I would have much rather seen Wisconsin vs Stanford.

I don't think they were forced to take TCU this year, but they had to take a Non-AQ once in this rotation if the B10-P10 champ is bumped to the National Championship. The Rose Bowl decided that it doesn't get much better than an Undefeated Non-AQ team and took TCU. Now through the rest of this BCS contract, they don't have to take a Non-AQ if they don't want to.

It was punishment since the Fiesta had 3 non-AQ's, the Sugar got Hawai'i and the Orange, well, had the Big East and ACC as auto tie ins in the last contract.

Ah. I didn't know this was a one time thing. Might as well have lost a good, but not great Stanford as their one time Non-AQ.
 
Re: College Football IV: The Hand over Fist Cash Grab Time, or Bowl Season for short.

TCU has no defense. Sconnie's drive was easy as hell. IT was like watching the Gophs D out there.

I hate Musberger so I wont watch much of the game. I do have a question...how long has the Rose Bowl been on ESPN? Cable channel for the Grandaddy of Them All? What ABC couldnt bump whatever crap they are showing?
 
Re: College Football IV: The Hand over Fist Cash Grab Time, or Bowl Season for short.

Wooooo!!!!! 14-10 tcu!!!

Too bad for Stanford because when Harbaugh leaves this offseason they wont be back for a while ;)
 
Re: College Football IV: The Hand over Fist Cash Grab Time, or Bowl Season for short.

ESPN bid on the BCS this time around, not ABC. The ABC guys probably threw a fit over not being able to show Castle instead of the Sugar Bowl or something stupid. I'm just glad it's not on FOX.

Edit: NBC is a bunch of morons.

They just call it the ESPN Family of networks now (ESPN, 2, 3, ABC, etc.)
