With the win, Alabama joins college football royalty. The team joins Nebraska, in the '90s, and Notre Dame, in the '40s, as the only teams to win three championships in four years. When Nebraska did it, they shared the championship with Michigan. And to add to Alabama's legacy, none of the championship games were really close.
In , Alabama stomped Texas 37 to Last year, the Tide blanked LSU 21 to 0. And this year, the championship game felt like it was over at halftime. What game? There's a pretty woman in the stands! The No. I'm sure there will be other surprises in store, elaborate set pieces, interesting costumes and some fun dancing to boot. Or maybe I'm now envisioning a mini Olympics opening ceremony.
Ack—too much pomp and circumstance! It's all blending in my mind! Enjoy tonight's game and halftime show, folks. And for heaven's sake, please don't turn the beat around. I'm begging you. This year marks the 13th appearance of the University of Alabama in the Sugar Bowl.
The Million Dollar Band presented an Americana type show for halftime. The group performed at a variety of spirit events and pep rallies throughout the week leading up to the game. The Fiesta Bowl started in and over the past 38 years has fought for its right to be considered one of the premier college bowl games.
The Texas Longhorn Band has a long and rich history. The band has performed at five Presidential Inauguration Parades and at countless state events, including governor inauguration parades. Each band took turns performing one of five songs as well as their field shows and alma mater.
During the game, members of the band made the stands ring with the deafening sound of the cowbells that they have made so infamous, striking the bells to symbolize the pride and spirit of Texas. When the band arrived in Arizona, it immediately began preparation for the parade that would take place the following day. On Jan. Jon Woods, the OSU director. The band had its final dress rehearsal on Jan.
The NCAA football season embodied the spirit of the underdog. Top ranked teams lost to unranked opponents left and right. The curse of being BCS No. Last year they beat Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl. Both bands are more than a century old. And both can brag about their close ties to two top-tier football programs.
But on Jan. After taking the rest of Saturday off to check out the French Quarter and do some sightseeing, band members got down to business on Sunday for their final practice before game day. Jon R.
