As the Rascal Flatts song goes, “what hurts the most, is being so close.”
That is what Stanford is feeling after its gut-wrenching loss to those annoying little Golden Bears, losing out on a possible Rose Bowl trip.
That is why Toby Gerhart was emotional leaving the field.
“It hurts, it hurts a [...]
For many football fans in America's second largest city, this is the only game that matters.
This Saturday at the Coliseum, the UCLA Bruins will meet their crosstown enemies, the USC Trojans, for the 79th time in a clash that may not have Rose Bowl implications but will still mean much [...]
(Georgia Tech quarterback Josh Nesbitt will be looking to go 2-0 against the Bulldogs as a starter Saturday.)
No Yellow Jacket football this weekend (not that I needed to tell you), a welcome reprieve, surely, for the battered bodies on Rose Bowl Field.
The weekend off gave me a chance to check [...]

Terrence Austin is loose before his last Rose Bowl game
Arizona State is counting on the sophomore quarterback also being electric when he makes his first start Saturday against UCLA at the Rose Bowl, less than a one-hour drive from where he grew up.
Coach Dennis Erickson confirmed the expected after practice Thursday - that Szakacsy would be ASU's second [...]
One of the biggest story lines entering the 2009 college football season was whether or not USC was on the verge of an uncharacteristic down year.
The Trojans had lost a significant part of last season’s Rose Bowl team. They would be forced to start plenty of inexperienced players—including a true [...]
Here is an absolutely heart warming video on "Operation Mend ," which took the field at the Washington football two weekends ago at the Rose Bowl. In recognition of Veterans Day, eight American heroes representing our men and women in uniform who have been injured in combat and received [...]
Only two games remain between the Oregon Ducks and their fifth appearance in the Rose Bowl. However, the two games left on the schedule may be the most challenging games the Ducks have played all season.
This Saturday, the Ducks travel to Tucson, to take on an angry Arizona Wildcat team [...]
Bowl eligibility, I can smell thee. With their win over Washington St., the Bruins are one win away from being bowl eligible and they will go for that win on Saturday at the Rose Bowl versus Arizona St. Josh and I will recap UCLA's win over Wazzu and will [...]
First of all, I want to congratulate the Ohio State football team for an excellent game (the best so far this year, in my opinion), as well as their Big Ten Title, and their Rose Bowl bid. You deserved both of those, and I wish your team the very best [...]
There are going to be so many interesting storylines leading up to the Ohio State/Michigan game this week. Ohio State has clinched a berth in The Rose Bowl, but has an opportunity to become outright Big Ten conference champions with a defeat of Michigan. Or maybe people will want to [...]
On Saturday, Nov. 14 at 3:30 pm ET, the No. 10 Iowa Hawkeyes (9-1, 5-1) will be in Columbus, Ohio to take on the No. 11 Ohio State Buckeyes (8-2, 5-1).

This weekend, the Big 10 will have the biggest game of the year in the conference. The winner of the game will have a spot reserved for them in the Rose Bowl. The loser will most likely go on to a lesser bowl and have to deal with a lot [...]
Stanford comes into the Coliseum as a hot team with Rose Bowl aspirations. The Cardinal’s defeat of the 8th ranked Oregon Ducks 51-42 put the nation on notice that Stanford football can compete at the highest level and Head Coach Jim Harbaugh is one of the best young coaches in [...]
Northwestern hasn't historically been a football powerhouse. They went almost 50 years between bowl appearances and haven't won one since the 1949 Rose Bowl.
However, NU has had some impressive players suit up for them that provided some memorable moments, especially in more recent history.
This article honors the best offensive players [...]
After watching the UCLA Bruins and the Washington Huskies tangle at the Rose Bowl, there is one word that sums up the Bruins and their effort: Guts.
How else can you describe a team that committed five turnovers—three fumbles (two by Johnathan Franklin, who rushed for a pathetic four yards) and [...]
Honorary captain and Heisman Trophy winner Gary Beban
Having Gary Beban serve as honorary captain must have been worth few points and the team needed every one of them to edge the Huskies 24-23 at the Rose Bowl.
Kevin Prince stands tall [...]

It was a game' [...]

Former UCLA Wide Receiver Junior Taylor (8), is doing great things as the Athletic Director of a foundation known as Champion Schools in Phoenix, Arizona. He would like to ask Bruin fans to help his kids board a bus to the UCLA-Washington game in conjunction with the [...]
Last Saturday was a chance for Michigan Football to prove the skeptics wrong.
It was a chance to prove that the win over Notre Dame wasn't a fluke, that indeed this team might just be Rose Bowl worthy, should the Hawkeyes win out.
Surely there were expectations for this young Michigan squad' [...]
Bumped. GO BRUINS. -N
Was able to finally get out to the Rose Bowl for the Cal game. I was hoping to see improvement from the Defense after reading about the "Players Only Meeting" but what I saw was the same concerns we've raised here on BN.
Here are some stats' [...]
