Next Year's Rose Bowl Pairing Is Already Set
Poor ESPN. They just can't seem to get their BCS bowl graphics right this year. Two nights ago, they ran a graphic several times showing the two teams that played in last year's Sugar Bowl.

Amir Johnson Took 3.5 Seconds Between Dribbles, And Did Not Get Called For A Double Dribble
