Nice to see a few of our players of the past during the Rose Bowl telecast today.

Craig James and Doug Flutie as announcers and even Pete Carroll on the USC sidelines.

Speaking of Craig James (Who happens to be one of my all-time favorite Patriots running backs) - Did James retire as a Patriot? or did he go elsewhere at the end of his career?...I cannot remember what happened to him back in the late 80s,except watching him bull thru defenders during those years,he really was a force as a runner.

Speaking of Pats at the Rose Bowl, Brady and Cassel must have a wager on the game.

And, unfortunately, Michigan let Brady down again. He lost to Vrabel earlier in the year when Ohio State beat Michigan and now the Wolverines got trounced by USC.

I was rooting for USC, I get tired of people ripping on the PAC-10 all the time.

But, Michagan belonged in the title game!

Craig James with those high knees ... much fun to watch.

I wonder if he'd be that good today ... he played when a 4.5 & 4.6 back was fast enough.
