Rose Bowl Positioning Itself To Dump The PAC

Really hope the Rosebowl just accepts the highest ranking teams it can get in a NY6 bowl.. or preferably a CFP game..

It's still a national treasure.. People will always attend those games even if there isn't a PAC vs BiG school playing in it every year.

Piss on ‘em…. and their high and mighty noses that are stuck in the air.

It really is odd how people's thoughts on it are so different.

- The PAC and B1G just slobber all over it ... the sunset, the pageantry. Blah, blah, blah.
- In the south, it's time to get a nap before the Sugar Bowls starts and we get some non-sissy teams playing.
- Also in the south I think we just got tired of that game getting shoved down our throats, a lot like those not in the south hate the ESPN/SEC getting crammed down their throats.

All that said, I really did enjoy UGA in the Rose Bowl. And I've always liked the USC Dance Girls and UCLA dancers wiggling their asses.

I am really starting to wonder with the SEC and the B1G going all for the money if they will start telling the bowls that their influence is waning. We will know when we find out if the quarter-finals are in home stadiums or in bowls. Why have a bowl middleman when the conferences and teams can get all that money straight up? Why let NOLA, and Dallas, and Atlanta get the gates when the schools can. And let Athens, and T-Town, and Columbus, and Clemson get the hotel and restaurant money. If anyone says tradition, fuck off. Tradition is gone ... that happened with consolidation.

I was so excited to play in the Rose Bowl and the outside is amazing and best photo op in college football. Everything is is grossly outdated and you can miss a quarter trying to go to the bathroom. Totally dump.

why don't you use the porta potty before you walk into the stadium, gramps?

They didn't want to give up their potentially easy opponent (i.e. #8 Washington St in 1997) in the Rose Bowl.

It was '98 and the final score was 21-16.

But yeah, easy opponent. lol

I think this means the annual game between the PAC and B1G is under discussion and the Rose Bowl may open up to make sure they get the highest ranked teams possible. This has nothing to do with UCLA or the actual facility just the Rose Bowl committee.

But they won’t. The Rose parade isn’t shit if it is southerners who are walking the streets. The casual fan doesn’t understand the Rose parade and the Rose Bowl are intertwined. Otherwise the Rose Bowl is a game at a really, really, shitty stadium.
 
Even though the Pac is the natural geographic host, the B1G tie-up has always been more important than the Pac tie-up due to tvs, travel, fannies in the seats, etc. That being said, I have been to the Granddaddy on Jan. 1st one time, and it was an extraordinary experience. I saw Ohio State beat Oregon in the 2010 Rose Bowl Game.

The Rose Bowl is going to wake up and play ball including when the game is played (which has been a point of contention for a while) or it’s going to be a mid-tier bowl in a shitty stadium.
 
Whatever. F it. PAC needs to start being innovative, dump this old piece of heap and start moving onward to newer and better things. Just like the conference is going to need to do. Innovation. With the backing and support of ESPN, who can market and promote better than FOX, look into making a Bowl experience unlike any other in Las Vegas.

Southern Cal wants to completely move out and leave anything that has to do with the PAC, fine, time for the PAC to prop up another location as it's "prime" stage.

Yeah. I get that.

It's already been contaminated anyway when the Rose Bowl hosts the CFP, no?

That's why the Big 10 and PAC 10 refused to join the Bowl Alliance and Bowl Coalition back in the 90's. They didn't want to give up their potentially easy opponent (i.e. #8 Washington St in 1997) in the Rose Bowl.

that game was a 21-16 how does that make them an easy opponent?
