Teams are Ready for the Rose Bowl
The Rose Bowl has been known as the
oldest and most prestigious American college football bowl game. It usually
takes place on January 1st and since some time ago it is played at the
Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California.
The Rose Bowl is part of the annual
Tournament of Roses event that includes the Tournament of Roses Parade.
This year, the game will be played by the Trojans and the Wolverines which
are the University of Southern California and the University of Michigan
representatives.
The former “Tournament East-West
football game” was first played on January 1st, 1902. At the beginning
the games were played in Pasadena’s Tournament Park but for January 1st,
1923 the Rose Bowl Stadium was built.
Michigan’s team arrived ten days
in advance to Southern California to dispute the Rose Bowl keeping its
tradition of arriving early to it. However, this year mechanical issues
kept the team's plane on the ground in Michigan for more than three hours
before they were able to take off.
This will be Michigan's 20th appearance
in the Rose Bowl and its third one in four seasons. The Michigan Wolverines
have an 8-11 record in their previous appearances. They lost to Texas 38-37
in the 2005 game.
A win would give Michigan their second
12-win season in school history. Michigan went 12-0, including a Rose Bowl
victory over Washington State, by winning the 1997 national championship.
The Michigan Wolverines have played the USC Trojans in the Rose Bowl seven
times before, losing five of them including a 28-14 USC victory in 2004.
