Well, at least someone out there seems to get it:

http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com...rformance/

BTW, does anyone know if there's a link to the entire "official Tournament of Roses statement"?  I'm still trying to figure out exactly what "values" are being referenced...

Several, at least officially:

1.  No Pom poems on tall hats.

2.  Not a single Souza tune.

3.  No roses on uniform.

4.  Failed to play Iowa alma mater.

5.  Failed to bow when passing Tournement grandstand.

6.  Encouraged unsportsmanlike behavior by cheering as team ran up score.

7.  Failure to serenade Queen and her Court.

8.  Glorifying an animal not recognized as a family pet within the city limits.

The other violations are frivolous.

Well, as to #7, doing a Queen serenade would have reigned on the Iowa Band's parade...
