No forgetting here - HUGE game for the Falcons today. Win and a bye and home field.
Atlanta native - been a Falcons fan for 42 years - not a lot to cheer for. We are happy with Quinn but would have hoped he had the defense playing better since that is more his side of the ball. They got some young talent on D so it appears to be on the upswing. I think they have a real shot in the NFC.
While you are correct about the time of the game--you are incorrect about it having anything to do with the NFL. The tournament of roses has had a "never on Sunday" strategy that has been going on for like over 120 years that is applicable to the rose bowl and the rose parade. I only know this because one of my close friends is a drummer for the USC band and is actually marching in the parade. It had something to do with the churches that were along the parade route way back in the day. People would hitch their horses outside of the churches--and they were worried that the commotion of having a parade roll by those hitched horses on a Sunday would cause them to freak out and create chaos.
Very cool. I lived in SoCal 2000-2007 and I never got the Rose Bowl thing until I moved there. I grew up Orange Bowl and that game used to really mean something most years. But the Rose Bowl is a class unlike any other. The parade is a big part of it all. I really enjoyed going and seeing the floats with the Mrs.
