[QUOTE="Roundball Sage, post: 1986070, member: 748116"] One of the enjoyable things about the Rose Bowl from lovely Pasadena in the San Gabriel Mountain foothills is that it is very often played in warm and beautifully sunny weather. And often, much of the rest of the United States is NOT that way but cold and blustery on that day (but not always). And so even if you didn’t particularly like the game matchup you’d turn the game on to see bright sunshine and palm trees and people dressed for beach weather. And dream of feeling that way yourself. And then you’d go outside at halftime and shovel two feet of snow off your driveway and ask yourself why. But then you’d remember that most of the throngs of people packed into the stadium are getting sunburned and hot out there. So there's that. So you’d go back outside again and shovel some more... but still wish you could be sitting there to see those San Gabriels (mountains) up close like you can when the smog is not too thick. And you wished again that it was the Orange & Blue you were watching instead of 'THEE'... or any of those other uniforms. [/QUOTE]
