USC was soo close to getting into the national championship but alas they will have to settle for yet another Rose Bowl, this will be the 32nd time that USC has gone to Pasadena and at 22-9 they have got to like their chances. Illinois seems to have played just solid enough to finish second in the Big 10 and a big part of that is due to junior RB Rashard Mendenhall who will finish with over 1500 yards and 16 TD’s.  Other than the running game there is nothing really clicking for Illinois, QB Juice Williams who only has 13 TD’s with 10 INT’s.  John David Booty is fully healthy and after leading the Trojans to 4 straight wins to end the regular season he will be looking to cement his place in Trojan history and lead USC to yet another Rose Bowl victory.  The Trojan offense is to efficient for the Illinois D, but I do think that the Illini can keep it close using the ground and pound method so my pick is the Illini plus the points, but I do think the Trojans will win no doubt.

Rose Bowl History and facts

The Rose Bowl, formally Pasadena Tournament of Roses is the oldest college football bowl game in American history. The Rose Bowl, known as The Granddaddy of All Bowl Games, has been one of football top sports betting events since 1947. This will be the 94th Rose Bowl this January 1, 2008.

In 1897, the city of Pasadena purchased ten acres of land located in the Arroyo Seco area of Pasadena, CA. This site turned out to be exactly what the Tournament of Roses Association needed. In 1921, it was decided that building should commence, and the structure was built with the south end open, giving the stadium a "horseshoe" shape. The design of the stadium was intended to accommodate as many patrons as possible, sitting close to the action. The first portion of the stadium was completed for less money than had been budgeted, and the seating capacity at the time was 57,000. The Tournament financed the project by offering ten-year subscription tickets for $100 each. Once it was completed, it was deeded to the city of Pasadena.

Local newspaper reporter Harlan "Dusty" Hall, who also served as the Tournament's press agent, came up with the name "Rose Bowl" for the stadium, and on January 1, 1923, the Tournament held its first football game there.

Nicknamed "The Granddaddy of bowl games, the Rose Bowl Game has been a sellout attraction every year since 1947. That year's contest was the first game played under the Tournament's exclusive agreement with the Big Ten and Pacific Coast Conferences. (The Pacific Coast Conference's name was changed to Pacific-8 in 1968, and to Pacific-l0 in 1978.) The 1998 Rose Bowl Game was the 52nd anniversary of that agreement, the longest standing tradition of any collegiate conference and a bowl association.
