No need in the press box today. Shaded and cool. Just about perfect. On the field, however, ti's a beautiful day. Sunny and temps in the 80s.

I recall from last year they couldn't play Jump Around for some reason, same thing for this year?
Monday January 2, 2012 3:30 George in Kentucky
3:31
Brian Mason: 
Actually, the good news is that Jump Around will in fact be played after the third quarter. The Rose Bowl has agreed to play both Jump Around and Oregon's song of choice, "Shout"
Monday January 2, 2012 3:31 Brian Mason
3:32
Brian Mason: 
It was fantastic last night to have Everlast, the lead singer from House of Pain, perform "Jump Around" live with the UW Marching Band in front of the Staples Center at L.A. Live

What about a glare factor on the Oregon "chrome" helmet for the Badgers to deal with?
Monday January 2, 2012 3:36 maryv
3:36

It's certainly noticeable from up here. Not sure how much of a factor it will be on the field. Still, something to keep an eye on

They certainly don't. Here's hoping to a good game. Like most, I anticipate a shootout between two high-powered offenses. That's going to put the defenses under a microscope, because one or two big plays could make all the difference

Anyone catch how Oregon is baking in the sun while we are in the shade on the sideline? Besides out manning them by 50lbs tackle to tackle and having to be on the field so much SHOULD allow us to pull away in the 4th.
