re: Rose Bowl ALWAYS Host CFB Championship

Herbstreit is a product of that snotty Big Ten/Pac 12 Rose Bowl tie-in that prevented decades of other teams from playing there.

What's crazy about these old school Big 10 fan's love affair with the Rose Bowl is that they got embarrassed every year in that game. I think the PAC 10 won something like 18 out of 20 games in the 70s and 80s and most of those were lower ranked teams exposing Ohio St and Michigan.

Herbstreit and all the others spent every New Years Day of his childhood crying and now he's like "oh my God the sunset hitting some really small mountains".

It's like Stockholm syndrome.
