It turns out the coaches were right.
The Rose Bowl Committee had asked for a special exemption to allow the families of players & coaches to attend the January 1 game in Pasadena.
Request denied.
So, for the first time since forever, the Rose Bowl will not be played in Pasadena on New Year's Day. Instead, the game is being moved to the Temple of Excess, aka AT&T Stadium, aka JerryWorld (for Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones), in Arlington, Texas, which hosted the Big 12 title game Saturday afternoon. The College Football Playoff committee's offices are in Dallas. AT&T, now part of WarnerMedia, is a sponsor of college football games across the dial. It all fits.
However, karma came along and smacked Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly upside the head, not so much for being the loudest voice in the room, but, well, just because. Clemson did in fact collect a receipt on the Irish, 34-10, in the ACC title game, to punch their ticket to Arlington.
====================================
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Friday that he believed Russia had something to do with the recent hacking of government computers.
Saturday, America's Oldest Baby contradicted Pompeo, and claimed, with no evidence, as usual, that it wasn't the Russians, but China.
What that says is that Donald Trump is bending over backward to protect his friend, Russian President Vladimir Putin, who, some say, has been like a role model to Trump during the last four years.
Meanwhile, Trump has been courting the notion of bringing back deranged attorney Sidney Powell to help him make one last desperate bid to overturn the election. Sorry, Dumb Donald, but the horse has left the barn, because when even Senate Majority Leader Mitch (Senator Pruneface) McConnell says it's time to move on, you might as well wave the white flag. Trump, Powell, and Rudy Giuliani all belong on the funny farm come January 21.
Worse, Michael Flynn is floating the idea to Dumb Donald to impose marital law.
Get over it. It's over. You lost. Take your ball and your toys and go home January 20. There's a room waiting for you at Bellevue!
=======================================
The Giants will be without offensive coordinator Jason Garrett and defensive back James Bradberry for tonight's game vs. Cleveland. Both tested positive or were in contact with someone who had for COVID-19. A Giants win, coupled with a Washington loss to Seattle, would lift Big Blue back into 1st in the NFC Least.
=======================================
Notre Dame's loss to Clemson will likely knock them out of the College Football Playoff, meaning #5 Texas A&M will likely move up for a date with Alabama in the Sugar Bowl, while Clemson plays Big 10 champ Ohio State.
Buckeyes running back Trey Sermon ran into the record books when he broke the school's single game rushing record with 331 yards in a come-from-behind win over Northwestern. Next stop? A longshot for the Heisman?
