History (Wiki)
Originally titled the “Tournament East-West football game,” the first Rose Bowl was played on January 1, 1902, starting the tradition of New Year’s Day bowl games. The inaugural game featured Fielding Yost’ dominating 1901 Michigan team, representing the East, which crushed a previously 3-1-2 team from Stanford University representing the West, by a score of 49–0 after Stanford quit in the third quarter. Michigan finished the season 11–0 and was considered the national champion. Yost had been Stanford’s coach the previous year. The game was so lopsided that for the next 15 years, the Tournament of Roses officials ran chariot races, ostrich races, and other various events instead of football. But, on New Year’s Day 1916 football returned to stay as The State College of Washington defeated Brown University in the first annual Rose Bowl. Read more here
