The 2022 Rose Bowl (!) Thread

@LAUte

we are going to tailgate on our own out on the golf course.

Anyone else see Zack Galifinakis wandering around the golf course with a fake Baby Carlos attached to his chest taking pics with the fans? Amusing guy.

We went to the official tailgate at Levi stadium in 2019. It wasn’t anywhere close to as expensive as this one but it was so overpriced and disappointing we vowed never again.

If it is an option, dining in the golf course clubhouse doesn’t suck. That’s where I went to “tailgate” in 2006 with my son, my neighbor, and his son. We did the roadie to see Utah open the season that year. It didn’t hurt the cause that it was Labor Day Weekend and we were able to plan out a full mini vacation for the trip. Went to Magic Mountain and watched a Dodger game. It was an awesome trip. To get back to the earlier comment…

The Clubhouse was good and not too pricey. It definitely cut down on the amount of logistical planning for going to the game.

For next time.

The clubhouse was advertising a brunch for $50. A bargain compare to the tailgate, or the $19 hot dogs in the stadium.

Well, I am pretty unhappy with the official tailgate. The tickets were very expensive, the lines were long, the food was horrible, and they ran out of it. All I got out of my 5 tickets was one diet Pepsi. My family resolved that if we’re ever going to a Rose Bowl again we are going to tailgate on our own out on the golf course. We saw lots of people doing that, and it looked like they were having a lot of fun.

@Diehard_Ute

The U’s official party’s/tailgates have always sucked. They overcharge and under deliver 90% of the time.

I’ve been to Ute tailgates before for bowl and away games, but the last one was in Michigan in 2008. They used to be much better; this one set a new, dramatic low. It will be my last.

I can’t stand Cowherd. And he should give up.

I thought it was about a hundred times better than the Holiday Bowl tailgate. This one was insanely overpriced but… we ate and drank our fill, and loaded up on the free swag. Also the house band was decent.

Yes they were. I focused quite a bit on what their drum major (is that the right term) was doing. The crazy stuff that guy was doing while wearing that bonkers hat was amazing. How can you back flip with that thing on your head.

If y’all think the Buckeye band is great y’all need to get to an HBCU game. The Buckeye band is always Underwhelming to me.

Tell the truth…you spend too much money on a lot of things.

You’re right. Forget about that lunch invitation.

You would think with all the money Weddle made in the NFL he could afford some pants without holes.

Yep, no lunch for me!

The Rose Bowl is a sacred location and those were his holy pants.

Pulls out wallet…drops a $50 in the tip jar of the piano player…Whispers ”If you play more sets to keep this guy off the stage, more will be coming - I promise”…goes back to drink.

I’d say, yes, it was overpriced, but we had plenty of food and drinks. The tequila punches they were making were pretty good. And, as you say, that band was quite good. Very tight and I thought the songs in their sets were well chosen for the demographic.

I got a chuckle over the fact that they called those Palomas. They really weren’t Palomas, but I agree they were quite good.

[UltimateUte]

For those that watched the game on television, did ESPN (a.k.a. Disney mega conglomerate Inc.) include any coverage of the Rose Bowl Moment of Silence and/or Ty Jordan/Aaron Lowe?

Does anyone know why Jackson didn’t go in when Cam went down?

Can’t pass.
