January 2= One of Best Sports Days Ever?

Yes, you read that right. I'll explain my reasoning now.
The reason why I'm considering tomorrow to be the Best Sports Days Ever is because you have six bowl games, one includes Penn State and their stout defense against a really good C-USA team and Houston's high octane passing offense. Another is the "granddaddy of them all" the Rose Bowl which will have two really good running games with Oregon versus Wisconsin. That game matches up the speed and spread offense of Oregon versus Wisconsin's power and pro style offense. The Rose Bowl also has two dynamic running backs, Montee Ball who is just a beautiful combination of power and speed. Then, there is the pure speed of LaMichael James, who will blow past anyone around him. To cap off the bowl fest is the Fiesta Bowl, which will probably be the equivalent of the Alamo Bowl from earlier in the bowl season. So, expect a lot of points between Stanford and Oklahoma State. That bowl will feature two stars making their last appearance in college with Justin Blackmon and Andrew Luck. Both of these guys will be stars at the next level and will want to continue to prove themselves in this game.
Tomorrow is also the NHL Winter Classic in Philadelphia between the Flyers and Rangers. This game should be a great game featuring the top two teams in the Eastern Conference. This game will also decide if the Flyers are in first place by the end of the day. Both teams have very solid teams and should be a one goal game. Philadelphia also will want to avenge its losses from these teams previous two meetings where the Rangers took both games. The NHL will also have four other games today, with another game featuring two very good teams in San Jose and Vancouver.
Then, there of course is basketball. Both college and the NBA have a plethora of games happening, so if you're into basketball, you should have your picking of any number of good games to choose from.
So, there will be three of the four major sports happening today, and one of the more unique things in sports, the Winter Classic, a NHL game happening outdoors in a baseball stadium. May you all have a very happy and healthy New Year which is filled with a full day of sports viewing with friends and family!
