Rose Bowl

 Alabama leads Notre Dame 14-0 early in the fourth quarter, but I think Notre Dame just scored a touchdown.

  1. I'm glad that they've put the Rose Bowl logo at the 50 yard line, but they should have done the end zones and numerals in the style of the Rose Bowl. And they should have opened the roof -- the Rose Bowl is always played outdoors.

  2. That was not a touchdown -- 4th and Goal at the 1 for Notre Dame.

  3. Notre Dame plunges across for the touchdown. Alabama leads 14-7 with 11:16 left in the 2d quarter.

  4. If you switch to the SEC network, you can watch the game and hear the Alabama Radio Network. But on that broadcast, they have one third of the screen devoted to a continuous shot of Nick Saban, and I can't believe that anyone really wants to see that. You're better off using the regular broadcast and syncing the radio yourself.

    1. I actually thought this was a really good idea--I've always thought KET should simulcast UK games with a camera fixed on the bench--but it was better in my head than in reality.

  5. Actually, if we were really going to move the Rose Bowl to a state that voted for Trump, it should go to Florida.

  7. This game is also for the Unofficial College Football Championship, which is currently held by Alabama.

  8. Here's what happened to the UCFC this year. At the beginning of the year, LSU held the title, which it had won by beating Clemson. Then these games happened:

    09/26/20: Mississippi St. 44, LSU 34
    10/03/20: Arkansas 21, Mississippi St. 14
    10/10/20: Auburn 30, Arkansas 28
    10/17/20: S. Carolina 30, Auburn 22
    10/24/20: LSU 52, S. Carolina 24
    10/31/20: Auburn 48, LSU 11
    11/21/20: Auburn 30, Tennessee 17
    11/28/20: Alabama 42, Auburn 13
    12/05/20: Alabama 55, LSU 17
    12/12/20: Alabama 52, Arkansas 3
    12/19/20: Alabama 52, Florida 46

  9. Meanwhile, WKU's men's team is in a barn-burner at Charlotte. The Tops lead 54-52 with 7:32 left in the game.

  10. Charlotte apparently now wants to be known as "CLT," which is what they have on their uniforms. CLT leads WKU 59-58 with 1:58 left.

  11. WESTERN WINS 67 TO 63! Any time a team from Kentucky wins a basketball game in North Carolina, that team has done well.

  12. Alabama does nothing with its first possession, and then ND is trying to drive, but throws an interception. First turnover of the game. Alabama takes over at its own 39.

  15. Alabama gives up a late touchdown, and Notre Dame covers the spread (which was 19 1/2 points). But ALABAMA WINS THE ROSE BOWL. It's the fifth Rose Bowl victory for the Tide. The only teams with more are USC (25), Michigan (8), Ohio State (8), Stanford (7), and Washington (7).
