What a scene - so much red, the greatest field in the game, the awesome fly-over. The Rose Bowl does it better than anybody else. They even force ESPN to show the marching bands at half time.
I watched all of this game and there was a lot, going to double overtime.
In the end, the Georgia defense had a little more than the Oklahoma offense. Easily the best game of bowl season.
Georgia 54 Oklahoma 48
My Pick: Oklahoma, it was that kind of day.
What Did I Eat: Some cheese and meats, and then stuffed clams and crab cakes.
Bowl Game Swag: Gift suite, Fossil watch, Ogio backpack, New Era 9Fifty snapback adjustable hat.
Fun Fact: Will Farrell and Mollie Shannon played fake hosts covering the Rose Parade. If you have access to Amazon Prime video you can still watch it. It was pretty funny. Of course some people didn't get the joke and hit the show with one star reviews, thinking "Cord and Tish" were real hosts.
After 38 bowl games, my belly was full. But you can't crap out with one to go, so it was on to New Orleans.
Clemson had no answer for the Tide's defense and it looked like a foregone conclusion at half time, which is when I tapped out and went to bed. Tuesday was a back to work day and it was apparent how much Deshaun Watson meant to the Tigers. Alabama wins with defense and special teams.
Alabama 24 Clemson 6
My Pick: You guessed it, Clemson. Idiot, again. I finished 21-18, that's not good.
What Did I Eat: Nothing. This game didn't start until after 9pm.
Bowl Game Swag: Gift suite, Fossil watch, blah blah blah. Same stuff.
Fun Fact: TCU beat LSU in the 1936 Sugar Bowl, the score 3-2. That sounds about as much fun as the 2018 edition.
