The Ohio State football team is in California for a business trip, but just like any good work trip, they found a little time for fun, too. The team held its first practice in L.A. Thursday morning at the home of the Chargers.
Players get a chance to be a part of fun activities, grab some free swag, and even score some free tickets for friends and family. But the NCAA has rules about just how much they can get. Here are eight things you might not know about bowl games, all laid out in the NCAA Postseason Bowl Handbook.
The Buckeyes are headed back to Pasadena, and they’re apparently packing their normal uniforms for the trip. The Ohio State football social media account tweeted out a teaser shot of the uniforms the Bucks will wear for the 2019 Rose Bowl. The center of the picture shows a circular Rose Bowl patch on the upper left section of the chest, just above the heart. However, in the corner, you can also see the black, white, and scarlet stripes of what has served as the team’s base uniform this season…
Ohio State and Washington came into the 2018 season with playoff hopes, yet both teams fell short. The last time either team was in the 4-team College Football Playoff was also the last time they were both in it, which was the 2016 season. Despite missing the playoffs for a second year in a row, both teams come into…
Ohio State is headed back to Pasadena for the first time since 2009. It’s a great chance to see some of America’s greatest New Year’s Day traditions in person, from the Tournament of Roses Parade to the Rose Bowl game.

Friends, I’m not here to make your choices for you. You can do what you please. It is, as the saying goes, a free country. But I am here to say that there is a chance – a pretty good chance in my own personal experience – that your best life involves watching Ohio State play in the Rose Bowl once before you die. This is an easy thing to push off as something you’ll do “next time.” But history has shown that “next time” could be a while away. The Buckeyes went to Pasadena for New Year’s Day 1985. They were back in 1997, and then in 2010, and now 2019…
On New Year’s Day 2019, the Rose Bowl game will have its traditional matchup of the Big Ten champion against the Pac-12 champion for the first time in five seasons. The No. 6 Ohio State Buckeyes are set to face the No. 9 Washington Huskies in Pasadena. It’s not the College Football Playoff, but it’s still a very nice matchup of top-10 teams in one of the greatest venues in all of American sport.
