The Rose Bowl Game
The Rose Bowl Game is an annual American college football bowl game, usually played on January 1 (New Year’s Day) at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. When New Year’s Day falls on a Sunday, the game is then played on the following Monday. The Rose Bowl is nicknamed “The Granddaddy of Them All” because it is the oldest bowl game. It was first played in 1902, and continuously since 1916. Since 1945, it has been the highest attended college football bowl game. It is a part of the Tournament of Roses “America’s New Year Celebration”.
Known as the The Granddaddy of Them All, the Rose Bowl Game kicked off a myriad of college football legacies in 1902. Since then, the game has showcased 18 Heisman Trophy Winners, produced 28 national champions, featured 197 consensus All-Americans and honored 98 college football legends by inducting them into the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame.
Continuing the tradition, on January 1, 2010, at 1:30 p.m. (PST) following the Rose Parade, the 96th Rose Bowl Game presented by Citi will feature the No. 8 BCS-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes versus the No. 7 BCS-ranked Oregon Ducks. As home to the Pac-10 and Big Ten champions, the game will be broadcast exclusively on ABC and ESPN radio.
