meaningless money grabs for advertisers long ago. Now it's just business dudes and advertisers lining their pockets every year
producing unwanted showcases for their product. All the great Bowl game venues are now just meaningless references to the
past. One of the great traditions started up over a century ago - the Tournament Roses Parade or the Rose Bowl parade which
led to the Rose Bowl game has lost its luster. The Bowl game used to help financially support the parade but is now just an
advertisement venue only. Maybe I'm being sentimental but I haven't watched a Rose Bowl game or the parade in years. That
joy of New Year's day bowl games is long gone.
