Re: [IRCA] Thank God for Radio

Yes, New Year's day was, please note the WAS, a great football day. We would 
be up very early, go downtown Dallas to see the Cotton bowl parade, then in 
the afternoon watch the game on TV. That was late 50's into the early 60's.

[Don't like the Outback, you can't throw your peanuts on the floor. Wish the 
local one would move to Seattle.]

Now, I never get to see the Cotton bowl. What ever happened to it?
You mentioned the Rose Bowl. Do you know what year the Rose bowl was NOT 
played in Pasadena and why?

Although this is borderline DX related, I just need to vent.

While growing up, New Year's day was always spent getting a football 
overdose watching many bowl games on TV. Since I am a bit of a football nut, 
this was one of my favorite days.

Well, today I'm watching the Outback Bowl (love the Outback - but they 
closed all their restaurants in Seattle so no more)... and I check the 
schedule to make sure I don't miss the Rose Bowl. Guess what, no Rose Bowl 
on network TV... even worse, no more bowl games on network TV. I have basic 
cable TV, so I don't get ESPN, which means I won't be able to SEE any more 
games today.


Naturally, almost ALL the bowl games are on the RADIO and it's FREE!!! (I am 
listening to the Gator Bowl now)... at least I will be able to listen for 
the rest of the day.

... and here I thought this country was against monopolies... ha!

Best of DX in 2012...
