Myself was glad the Rose was moved for not only the teams but the fans. Take the fans first I don't want to sit in pouring rain after spending big bucks on a ticket to watch the game. For the team same thing lets play in near perfect conditions and let the best team win. Not only that a team like ours that throws a lot a wet ball would go against us compared to a team that runs the ball more than passing. Plus what if you have a heavy wind hard to adjust with the wind at your back and throwing into the wind also. I know they want to spread it around to the Bowls but the Rose Bowl has done well every year with out playoff games. jmo
