Rose Bowl

For the first time in many years I won't be watching the Rose Bowl, it means nothing anymore. To me it has become the next Who Cares Bowl. Not a fan of BCS.

I agree with you...the tradition of that bowl, the grand daddy of them all, has been shattered. I'll probably watch, unless it's a blow-out. But to me, just another football game.

So stupid. The last half of the season, NOBODY played better than Stanford.

Penn State vs Florida is proving to be very entertaining.

I'm multi-tasking.
To me the Rose Bowl means the difference between being $90.90 richer or $100 poorer.
All bets are looking for the early games.

I NEVER bet on bowl games...sure would like to have a time machine to do so tho. So far, the biggest upset of the bowl season was Washington beating Nebraska.

Penn State vs. Florida was damned entertaining...I love down to the wire matchups, hate blowouts.

Oh...GO AUBURN!

Not a BCS fan here either...what's the point???? The BCS keeps the playoffs limited to their favorite few...POC to me. You've heard it before, but let's hear it again.....let's have a playoff series for NCAA football!!!

Make it $100 poorer.
Overall I had a great day, but Penn State and TCU let me down. I was getting nervous about Alabama covering the over, but they got a little help there near the end.

May have been...I quit watching, went to the garage for a stogie. Brent Mushmouth and no pac 10 team iced it for me. The Rose Bowl has been trashed.
Who won, by the way? Guess it doesn't really matter, since I knew nothing about either team...

I'm sort of watching Oklahoma-Connecticut now...but smell a rout coming. If it gets too lopsided, I'll pick a DVD off the shelf.

I didn't watch any Rose Bowl and still don't care who played, no PAC 10, but in the news shots the stands didn't look full,

Best Rose Bowl since 2005 when Texas beat USC for the national championship!
