Happy new year, and welcome to BadgerBlitz.com's FREE live blog of the Rose Bowl Game. Jon Gorman is out in Pasadena for BadgerBlitz.com, and I'll be here all afternoon watching the game as well.

Feel free to jump in to the chat and talk about the game as it's going on. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:10 p.m. CST, and the game is scheduled to air on ESPN. We'll be here all day, so come chat with us!
