Rose Bowl II Prediction: Roll Tide!

Look for big plays from the Texas Special Teams. The better QB is without a doubt under center for Texas. Winning the Heisman Trophy is a huge jinks for the recipient in bowl games and is a hurdle to clear for the Tide if you follow those kinds of statistics.

The history of both programs is very impressive. 

I liked Bama a week ago but I am starting to waver.  My heart wants the burnt orange but the longhorms have only faced a real defense twice this year in OU and Neb.  Bama has had a much trougher road to travel.

Look for a low scoring game in the first half. The horns will have a few big plays but nothing will go all the way.  After half time the speed will balance out and the Tide will roll with no turnovers, a few take-aways and a power game on the ground. A fourth quater pick-6 seals it for SEC. Again.

Alabama  26

Texas        14

New Years Eve in Salvador

I spent New Years Eve with the Costas and friends on a beach on the Atlantic coast of the city.  (See YouTube for long drawn out video of fireworks.)  Below are a couple shots of the evening.
