    Chapter 1 – 1902-1949 1902 Rose Bowl MICHIGAN 49 STANFORD 0 Originally titled the "Tournament East–West football game," what is now known as the Rose Bowl Game was first played on January 1, 1902, at Tournament Park in Pasadena, California, starting the tradition of New Year's Day bowl games. The inaugural game featured Fielding H. Yost's dominating 1901 Michigan Wolverines football team, representing the East, who crushed a 3–1–2 team from Stanford University, representing the West, by a score of 49–0 after Stanford captain Ralph Fisher requested to quit with eight minutes remaining. Michigan finished the season 11–0 and was considered a national champion. Yost had been Stanford's coach the previous year. Organization of the game - The Tournament of Roses Parade began in 1890 as a New Year's Day tradition in the City of Pasadena. The city boostersLLC were exploring a way to bring in tourism and money to the area. The Tournament of Roses Association president, James Wagner, guaranteed $3,500 to cover the expenses of bringing the football teams of the University of Michigan and Stanford University to Pasadena to play. The admission price was 50 cents to $1 to see the game. An additional $1 would be charged to admit a family's horse and buggy to the grounds. The game was played in Tournament Park, where temporary stands were built. Before the Rose Bowl stadium was built for the 1923 Rose Bowl, games were played in Pasadena's Tournament Park, approximately three miles southeast of the current stadium.

His steely eyes have witnessed four national championships, two Super Bowls and now the growth of the Florida Atlantic football program. That leadership has guided the Owls to back-to-back bowl game titles, the only team in the state of Florida to accomplish this feat in 2007 and 2008. SENIORS SENIORS 2011 FLORIDA ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY The Owls took to the fi eld Aug. 29, 2000, with 164 players in attendance for the program’s fi rst practice. On Sept. 22, 2005, FAU hosted its fi rst-ever Sun Belt Conference game. More than 30 FAU football records, two-time bowl MVP, B.S. in information management systems, FAU’s fi rst NFL draft pick.

The Owls traveled to New Orleans where they defeated the University of Memphis. Just one year later FAU made a return trip to a bowl with an invitation to the Motor City Bowl in Detroit, MI. Once again the Owls prevailed becoming the first team in the history of the Sun Belt Conference to win back-to-back bowls. FAU was also the only team in the state of Florida to win bowls in both 2007 and 2008. The perfect streak is quite an accomplishment for a team that had competed in football for just eight seasons and only three as a full Bowl Subdivision member.
