Seems one tradition leading up to the big game is for each team to eat hot dogs served by Pink's -- the most famous hot dog spot in Los Angeles. According to them, more often than not the team that eats the most hot dogs is the team that loses. Makes sense ...
This year, Wisconsin walloped TCU 485-270 ... which means TCU should kick but later today.
