He's still on the visit, so I doubt anybody will have anything until it's over.

I heard Dudley is really impressing him.

Rosebowl will certainly tweet at some point today that "I am told things are going well".

How is he told this? The kids are supposed to be left alone on their recruiting trips, and it is very unlikely that Dan Mullen or Deshea Townsend have him on speed dial. So most likely, Rosie is making things up, which he's really good at. After all, he is called RoseBowl for a reason.

I'm sure he has sources, the same type of sources people like Paul Jones have.

And I really don't get the Rosebowl stuff; I mean, I get that people like to make fun of him for it, but he predicted us to play in the Rose Bowl in a year in which most everyone had us top 10-15 in the country preseason. Was it crazy for a State fan to believe that?

His trip could possibly be lengthened by the 2nd global warming induced polar vortex of 2014,
That's approaching.

Sevendust used to make the claim that once Melvin Smith left, Rosebowl and Jean wouldnt have any source left

Saw on an article linked on SPS that he was planning a very low key announcement on NSD along with the other seniors on the team. What struck me as odd was that there were some bama fans that commented very negatively towards Marlon. I guess they are just mad he has not kissed Saban's ring yet.

The joke is that the Rose Bowl pairs the B1G vs Pac12.

And for some strange reason, I don't think he will kiss the ring. Tusk....get ready..your Dark Lord is going to lose this one. And to think I used to despise his Dad when he ran all over us. But... time heals all wounds. I am truly impressed with the way both father and son have seemed to handle the recruiting process. Both have shown some real class.

not saying it wasn't a long shot, but TCU says the rose bowl doesn't always matchup the big 10 and pac 12 in the BCS era.

It was the national title game that year, though. It may have been a little crazy but it wasn't anything insane.

I will say, though, that the article he wrote should be sobering when being tempted to go crazy discussing next year. Nobody has predicted a national title for us, and I think the wooly predictions are pretty spot-on, but 2001 is a reminder that even when everything seems lined up perfectly, it can all come crashing down so quickly.

The Rose Bowl was actually the BCS title game that year -- and was played between a Big12 and Big East team. The 5th "BCS Champioship" game wasn't added until the 06 or 07 season. Before that, the actual title game was a rotation of the 4 BCS bowls themselves -- instead of just being played at the same site on a rotating basis.

Oregon played Auburn that year for the natty in Arizona and the Rose Bowl was forced to take TCU

rose bowl could have replaced oregon with a pac 12 team, but chose to take an undefeated TCU instead.

I'd hate to lose a legacy 5*, but I'm really hoping we sign Elam & Mama...

Ps. I was at the game in Starkville in 86.

I don't know why, but that picture cracked me up. I hope he's wearing that while he meets with our coaches and talks to them.

How so? It was a metaphor for giving him the royal treatment. Maybe I should provide lengthy explanations to my posts.

I hope he has Bama and FSU hat on the table on signing day then pulls out our helmet from under the table and puts it on.

Beniquez Brown, BJ Hammond, basically Richie Brown, Chris Jones, etc all say that you are just seeing what you want to see.

Maroon and white. Not sure which shade of maroon yet, but Saban is a douche.
