Alabama football fans will celebrate this season's Rose Bowl as the Crimson Tide's 100th anniversary of its Rose Bowl history (1926 - 2026)
Many Alabama Crimson Tide fans relish the Tide's storied Rose Bowl history. In contrast, some Alabama fans have little or no interest in the old news. The rest of the college football world, especially fans of the Indiana Hoosiers, will deride any suggestion that the history could be meaningful on Jan. 1, 2026.
It is true Alabama's history will not produce points for the Tide or prevent the Hoosiers from scoring.
