Rose Bowl Tickets confirmed

Hurray, got the mail from the ticket office today, we’ll be there. Not like it was hard to get them — apparently the alums didn’t snap up all the tix as there will be a public sale.

As Rose Bowl prep, some reading:

• A nice primer on Rose Bowl and bowl system history. There is no NCAA football championship, the bowls are not about a championship. Important to remember as we get into the silly season now with everyone gnashing and wailing about the BCS.
• Bowl gifts. Pretty standardized across all the games at this point.
• OSU 7-0 all time against Oregon, yay!
• But the Oregon trolls are out in force in the comments here
• The Rose Bowl is pretty rarefied air for Oregon — their usual destinations are El Paso, San Diego, Las Vegas, etc.  Welcome to the big time.
