Illinois set a new "Beef Bowl" record during pre-Rose festivities in Los Angeles Friday night, when their 215 member dining party consumed 870 pounds of prime rib, breaking the record of 799 set by USC the night before with their party of 176. Of course, an asterisk should note that the midwest girlfriends ate quadruple what the LA girlfriends did.
Meanwhile, up in San Francisco at the Emerald Bowl, Oregon State set a new "Tofu Bowl" mark by consuming 540 pounds of tofu prepared by Bay Area chef Alice Waters. The Beavers washed it all down with some pomegranate mineral water.
