Where do you position yourself to watch the parade, on Orange Grove or Colorado Blvd.?
Penn State to the Rose Bowl

Neither, on Sierra Madre Blvd, after it makes it turn off of Colorado and heads toward the high school. I live a few blocks from Sierra Madre Blvd.
Just an FYI, but the day after the parade, you can go up to the high school and walk amongst the floats and get up close to see all of the details of the flowers.
Ha! Murphy bed in that room that may end up getting used.. Luckily, we just finished our garage to make it a man cave. Of course, there's no bathroom or heat in there but there's a fridge full of beer.
I find parades boring but walking around these floats the next day would be awesome. The work they put in to them is amazing and seeing how,it is done would be a good lesson in engineering/design.
Didn't the rose have that parody parade where business people, in suits with briefcases, did an army drill every year?
I agree about parades. I usually will walk over watch a little and then go back home to watch whatever bowl is on tv. In 2016, I stayed a little longer to make sure I watched the Blue Band but I just timed it with the tv broadcast.
After 12 years living out here, 50 is cold. We had a cold weather alert early this week, that was when it fell to mid 40s overnight.
That doesnt ring a bell but there are the Rose Parade officials which always wear white suits and you'll see walking along the parade route.
It appears to be all but a done deal: Penn State to Rose and Ohio State to Orange. Jerry Palm has adjusted his projections along those lines. Link below.
The only possible fly in the ointment would be a Purdue upset of Michigan, which could bust us all the way down to the Citrus.

Definitely. But all good to root for their destruction in the playoffs!wait, we've got to root for Michigan???
Great, now it seems like the Buttflies 'gave" us their spot and we didn't earn it.It appears to be all but a done deal: Penn State to Rose and Ohio State to Orange. Jerry Palm has adjusted his projections along those lines. Link below.

No, no, no.
As I stated in John's thread, we never "root" for Michigan.
But on rare occasion, once a century or so, we entertain the grudging hope that they win...because it would benefit us.
This Saturday is that occasion. But fortunately, we'll still be able to root against them in the playoffs.
I don't think it's about "giving or earning" anything. Let's be honest, these bowls are now nothing more than glorified games and practices for next year. Many of the top players don't even play in the Bowls fearing injury might cost them in the NFL draft.
And the other thing is that the B1G splits up all of the total Bowl money - it's not like PSU or OSU will reap the total monetary payout of the Bowl they play in.
I travel around the different boards and the fan reaction from the Alabama, OSU and Clemson fan bases are a lot different than most of the others that haven't been in the Playoffs in recent years like those schools. They just don't care about Bowls-games that aren't part of the Playoffs and consider their seasons pretty much over. I believe OSU actually returned tickets to last year's Rose Bowl.
Once the 12 team Playoffs start, it will be interesting to see what happens to all of the traditional bowls. Nobody will remember - or care - about who wins this year's Rose or Orange Bowls outside of the fan bases of the teams that participated. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE PLAYOFFS NOW

Book your trip to Pasadena. Beware though as this is not a good matchup for the Nits. Utah is a physical team and they will simply study two game films. PSU has its hands full.
Being physical in the PAC12 may not be the same as being physical in the Big 10 or SEC. We'll find out but Florida may offer a clue.
Utah gassed vs. Fla but still could have won but for an INT in the end zone at the end. Think they missed some kicks, too. UCLA and Oregon had pretty good QBs.
