It was especially disappointing to see the Badgers hurt them selves via the yellow flag after ranking first in the NCAA with only 2.92 penalties per game. The Badgers were set back 41 yards from six penalties, none bigger than a couple of pass interference calls against the defensive backs which kept a couple of key Horned Frog drives alive.
As expected, TCU’s #1 ranked defense was great,[...]

Terrelle Pryor isn’t feeling the love these days. The man who was once the consensus #1 player coming out of high school has now become a second thought, in his mind, in a college football landscape littered with quarterbacks like Cam Newton, Denard Robinson, and Dan Persa.

With a 70-23 trouncing of the Northwestern Wildcats, the Rose Bowl committee has seen enough. They should and most likely will invite the Wisconsin Badgers to the 2011 Rose Bowl in Pasadena, CA.

I Caesar Cliffius, hereby state that there are way too many bowl games in college football today. You may agree or disagree, but you have to admit with me, the bowl qualifications are too watered down.
In 1923, there was one bowl game, the ?Grand daddy of them all? (as Jim Simpson would say) the Rose [...]

No, he wasn’t the lead singer for Journey. That was Steve Perry. Chris Perry was a former Michigan running back and Cincinnati Bengal. I read his name yesterday, on a list containing UFL draftees, and had a flashback to the 2004 Rose Bowl game.
