No, NBC has never had the Rose Bowl. It has always been ABC to my knowledge. Here is this year's bowl schedule. With dates, times, networks, and projections. http://www.collegefootballpoll.com/bowl_games.html
I do not like Texas, but they can bring it. They are big and FAST across the board. They stay in their lanes, they know how to pursue. They are athletes with football smarts. Chizek will have the D ready. Texas is not fresno state or ucla's 115th ranked run defense. bush will not be the difference in the Rose Bowl, matt lineart will have to prove he was worthy of the Heisman last year for usc to have a chance. linehart wasn't worthy, he is Ron Turcotte riding a Secretariat in a low stakes claiming race. Other people make him look better than he is while he plays against inferior competition.
