We’re smelling roses, folks.

Penn State will face off against Utah in “The Granddaddy of Them All” on January 2, 2023, at Rose Bowl Stadium. This will be Penn State’s fifth appearance in the Rose Bowl, with its last appearance taking place in 2017 when it fell 52-49 to USC.

Even though there’s still a little under a month until the Nittany Lions ~touchdown~ in Pasadena, we’re kicking off celebrations early with a playlist that includes only the rosiest of songs. From “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” by Poison to “Sandra’s Rose” by Drake, this playlist is sure to help you see life through rose-colored glasses.

So grab your official 2023 Rose Bowl merch, turn up this playlist, and don’t forget to stop and smell the roses. Happy listening!
