I am seeing that the MSU Spartans seem to be coming back against the Stanford Cardinal (If they are still called that!) in the Rose Bowl but it is yet another year that Sandy won’t voluntarily watch the game!
WHY?
Because in 1945, the Rose Bowl decided to restrict the game to the winners of what is now the Big Ten and Pac Twelve conferences. Since no Southern school can be in the game anymore, there is no reason for me to support such a discriminatory practice. Hence no Rose Bowl games for me. It’s a shame as the Rose Bowl is the first and most prestigious of the bowl games. That actually makes its anti-Southern attitude worse.
PS: I am aware that Maryland is now a member of the Big Ten or will be next year. But that does not solve the problem. The Rose Bowl was once the best teams in East and West to play. I would support the Rose Bowl being the permanent BCS Championship game. Here’s the contact info for the Rose Bowl to register any protest you choose.

I’m not huge into sports so I didn’t know this but wrote them the following:
I would like to watch the Rose Bowl but do not have interest as long as Southern teams are allowed in the competition.
Please allow for all to play.
Thank you

Thanks, PAFreedom. Know that you are right even if you are not a popular view yet. At least the Rose Bowl people heard it. Try my other sports columns, too.
