The game dubbed the "Granddaddy of 'Em All" was at first a sidecar attraction for the Tournament of Roses Celebration in Pasadena, California. As part of the festivities, the group hosts several events including polo matches, tug-of-war, and various races. But eventually someone gets the bright idea to host an annual football game as part of the festival. Football at the festival begane in 1902 in Pasadena. The game eventually morphed into what was called the "Tournament East-West Football Game." From its humble beginnings of almost fizzling out just after it brgane to becoming the premier game on New Years Day this game and its corresponding venue are one of the most iconic and celebrated in gridiron History. Join us in this deep dive study of the games, players, coaches and pageantry of the Rose Bowl with the help of dozens of football historians and authors.
