The 110th Rose Bowl is a crucial playoff semifinal in the 2023 FBS football season, determining a contender for the 2024 College Football Playoff National Championship. The game, officially known as the College Football Playoff semifinal at the Rose Bowl Game presented by Prudential, concludes the season before the National Championship in Houston. 

This year’s matchups include Michigan vs. Alabama in the Rose Bowl and Washington vs. Texas in the Sugar Bowl. Tom Brady, a distinguished Michigan alum, left an indelible mark on both college football and the NFL. With the Rose Bowl now right around the corner, what are the odds of 7x Superbowl winner gracing Pasadena with his presence?

Tom Brady’s Rose Bowl appearances 

The legendary quarterback, who has left an indelible mark in the NFL, also had noteworthy moments in college football. While he didn’t partake in the 1998 Rose Bowl, Brady made a significant impact in the 2000 Orange Bowl, guiding his #8 Michigan side to victory with a career-high 369 yards and four touchdowns. His exceptional performance helped the Wolverines overcome two 14-point deficits during regulation play. Tom Terrific led his team to a tight 35-34 win in overtime. During Brady’s final NCAA play, he threw the game winning score to tight end Shawn Thompson.

Brady’s journey continued beyond college, culminating in remarkable success in the NFL. He secured his record-extending tenth Super Bowl appearance in 2020, becoming the fourth quarterback to lead two teams to the Super Bowl—an impressive feat. However, after announcing his retirement in February 2023, the NFL icon has not made any Rose Bowl appearances. But having been a strong supporter of Michigan, NFL fans might look forward to the possibility of the GOAT attending the Rose Bowl 2024. 

The GOAT’s history with Michigan 

During his college years at Michigan in the late 1990s, Brady served as the starting quarterback for the Wolverines. Despite sharing playing time with Drew Henson, Brady etched his name in Michigan’s passing record books with impressive career stats, including 710 attempts, 442 completions, 5,351 passing yards, and a 62.3% completion rate.

Transitioning to the NFL, Brady was drafted by the New England Patriots and went on to lead his teams to an astounding 10 Super Bowls, securing seven championships and earning five Super Bowl MVP awards. Widely hailed as the Greatest of All Time (GOAT), Brady’s legacy extends far beyond his college days.

In a surprising turn of events in 2022, after a brief six-week retirement, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers‘ quarterback announced his return for his 23rd season in the NFL. From his beginnings at Michigan to achieving NFL stardom, Tom Brady’s journey remains a compelling narrative of success in the world of football.
