It’s not the Rose Bowl Parade, it’s the Tournament of Roses Parade or simply the Rose Parade. The first Rose Bowl Game was played in 1923, 33 years after the event began in 1890. Before 1923, the Tournament of Roses Game was played in Tournament Park, which still exists, across the street from the California Institute of Technology, aka Cal Tech.
I am an Iowa fan but I have to admit Iowa really stunk it up this year...
Actually the first Rose Bowl was played in 1902. Michigan beat Stanford 49-0.
