It’s a holiday weekend, four days stuffed with friends, family and festivities as you ring in the new year. The coming four days — Friday through Monday, wrapped around a holiday — represent a final time to let loose and decompress before America returns to work on Tuesday, Jan. 3. For now, we’re still on holiday time, that period of every winter when the urgency of the workplace diminishes and we can escape into sports and entertainment for a few days while reflecting on what we want to do for the coming year.
Here’s our TV guide for the huge sports weekend. USC football plays in the Cotton Bowl against Tulane. USC basketball has its first two-game Pac-12 road trip of the season, a crucial pair of games in the Pacific Northwest. There’s the College Football Playoff on Saturday, the other big bowl games, and the NFL’s next-to-last regular-season slate of games.
