Rose Bowl-Bound Michigan and Texas Football Teams To Make First Official Rose Bowl Appearance at Disneyland Resort(R) on Monday December 27
ANAHEIM, Calif., Dec. 5 -- Now that the University of Michigan and University of Texas have won berths in the 2005 Rose Bowl Game(R) in Pasadena, what are they going to do next? They're going to Disneyland, of course.
The Wolverines and Longhorns, scheduled to do battle on the gridiron in the January 1, 2005 match-up at the Rose Bowl, will make their first official Rose Bowl appearance on Monday, December 27, at Disneyland. Disneyland has been associated with the Tournament of Roses since 1959 and has had the honor of hosting many teams during that time. The teams' visit is an official Rose Bowl event held in conjunction with the Tournament of Roses; as the players and coaches will be joined by the Rose Queen(R) Ashley Moreno, her Royal Court, and of course Mickey Mouse, who was chosen by Tournament of Roses President, Dave Davis, as Grand Marshal for this year's Rose Parade, themed Celebrate Family. 2005 promises to be a big year in the life of Mickey Mouse. From being honored as the Grand Marshal of the Rose Parade to acting as Chief Host for the 50th anniversary of Disneyland, Mickey continues to be a beloved member of the Disney -- and Tournament of Roses -- families.
The two squads and their coaches will receive a Disneyland welcome at an afternoon ceremony in front of the legendary Sleeping Beauty Castle. Texas head coach Mack Brown and Michigan head coach Lloyd Carr will be featured participants in the afternoon ceremony, along with several players from each team. Following the ceremony, the players and coaches will play a little football with Mickey and his pals -- and then it's off to enjoy the attractions at both Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure theme parks.
The 91st Rose Bowl game will be played in Pasadena on Saturday, January 1, 2005. The Longhorns (10-1 overall, 7-1 in Big 12 Conference play) will be making their first ever Rose Bowl appearance. The Wolverines (9-2 overall, 7-1 in the Big Ten Conference) lost to the University of Southern California in last year's game.
