He still has nightmares of trying to chase and catch Basil Mitchell.

It is true according to one of the Frogs who shined that day in Pasadena. I do have a pic of a Badger DB coming to shake Andy’s hand after the final kneel down. Guess he was one of the few exceptions. I was too busy celebrating to notice most of the Badgers just left the field.

some stuck around. some left.
to be honest. at that point I was not really paying too much attention. whole day was sensory overload. Getting to see the sunset against the San Gabriel mountains. The usual cheer as the lights come on. getting a picture in front of that place with that cool rose on the building.
WINNING THE ROSE BOWL.
Just getting to go to the greatest stadium in football. I had been before for UCLA games. But those don't even equate to bowl day.

Yeah I wasn't looking at any handshakes; I was taking in the scoreboard, looking around in what was now the dark, and celebrating with everyone. I remember watching the TV feed after and it looked like a few guys (Watt, maybe Tolzien) shook hands but it seemed like Bielema led his guys out without going out for handshakes.

I remember the band play Deep in the Heart of Texas after the game with the ESPN crew ready for post game. I wish I had planned my trip better. Don't know how it would work out, but would have liked to go to that parade that morning. Did catch some of the stuff in the days before that were riding/equine related. But they weren't as big as they are now.

He scooted out of the Sun Bowl like a turpentined cat!

We went to the parade, which made it a very long day for my family and cut out most of our tailgating opportunity. It also meant that when the game ended we celebrated in the stands a bit and then made a pretty quick path out.
For me the very best part of the experience was walking in through that long, dark, crowded tunnel and coming out the other end to the green grass, blue sky, purple and red team colors, and the San Gabriel mountains in the background. Wow!

Ditto. Rose Bowl was always my favorite growing up. Then to walk in and see TCU's colors on that field. Only thing better was watching the Frogs go into victory formation.

Perhaps he is better at running than given credit for.
