Metro’s Musings

I apologize for my absence for the past week. I came down with a nasty case of the norovirus and have been bed-ridden and asleep for most of this week. During my illness, I had time to go back and take a look at the 2012 Rose Bowl game against Wisconsin and I wanted to take the time to do a comparison of that team and the teams that we’ve been down about the past couple of years. It might not be the best representation of what is different, given that the score was very close, it was high scoring game (45-38) and it turned out a few key plays, but I was struck with how different the teams felt, culture-wise.
