Did they change the date? I thought the Rose Bowl game and parade were a new years day tradition. |

This one is apparently a higher-level game, which somehow makes it different. Core dump complete. They're charging $7 to look at the floats this year. You can look at some/most of them from 50 feet or so for free. -- Cheers, Bev ################################################## ################# "Johnston [Island] was the home of a U.S. chemical weapons disposal facility for 10 years before operations ended in November 2000.

Well, as far as two teams without any playoffs can be considered a "champsionship". |

So instead of the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl on New Years day we have a parade on the day after New years and the ball game 3 days after. I'm gonna guess money had a lot to do with moving the game. Any guess why the parade is on monday? |

While we're on the subject, what's the difference between the S(t)upor (as in, "drink oneself into a ~") Bowl and the Pro Bowl? I thought the Super Bowl *was* the pro bowl.

The Pro Bowl (the one played in Hawaii) is the NFL's version of an all- star game. Selected players from all teams form two teams representing their conferences play in the Pro Bowl. |
