Kent,

If CITI didn’t get a bailout and went bankrupt like it should have, there wouldn’t have been any money to pay the Rose Bowl the sponsorship fee. The same goes for CITI’s naming rights to the Met’s new stadium.

MorenNc said that Cal beating Miami is not legitimate. That really crack me up. Miami had beaten up a team, Virgina Tech, Whom just win the orange bowl by beating #12 ranked Cincinatti.

And, Don’t tell me that Cincinatti’s lost is not significance.

Go bears

Have any of you, who have responded to Amy, considered the fact, she is posting on a Cal Forum during the Rose Bowl? You really need to stop responding to her. Of course, she will get bored, create other profiles to bait you, and you will respond in kind. If only, the CC Times was a media source for the future, then we sensible Bear fans wouldn’t have to read hers and your nonsense.

Big D,

Big sponsorships are typically multi-year agreements and are not easily broken. Even if Citibank wanted to get out of their sponsorship agreement, I doubt if the Rose Bowl would let them off the hook, with such short notice.

As a Marketing Professional for over 20 years, who has analyzed and participated in various sports sponsorships over my career, I would agree that eliminating the Rose Bowl sponsorships from their Marketing budget would not harm the long term business prospects for Citibank.

As a matter of good public policy and good business sense, I too would like to see Citibank try to end their sponsorhip with the Rose Bowl.

what morencs doesnt understand is that he cannot use the term we when they are not on the roster, i guess he or she, or ill call nomorencs it from now on, has not figured out it does not play for usc. cal is happy with their record actually dipsh**, it was actually a better year then what most predicted. your trojans on the other hand our supposed to win the nc every year, but once again, they choke, i think vince young cast a spell and cursed the trojans away from the national title forever, who knows. you should change ur scream name bud, might as well put chokeartisttrojans as ur new screen name.

…”but what really pissed me off is, “Rose Bowl sponsored by CITI bank.” Why are those a**holes spending millions of our dollars on advertising – and sending their execs, on a private jet no doubt – after they got however many billion dollars in bailout money.”–wehofx

I thought the exact same thing. They had that big “Citi” logo on the field and aired a few commercials. They got a $20 Billion taxpayer bailout and they waste it on advertising? WTF!!!

Unfortunately too little too late Moron. Where was that display against Oregon State? Looks like Pete Carroll took a page out of Bob Stoops and the Big 12 book with the aerial display. But what happened to all the RB’s at tailback U? Sure you can argue that they didn’t need the RB today. But their play wasn’t all that impressive. Joe McKnight goes down, CJ Gable fumbles- maybe if Havili had passed his classes, huh?

Well, hopefully, things will sort themselves out with who’s going pro next year so SC can try and make it back to the NC game next year without choking. When is the last time USC fans were treated to the NC game with their stockpiling of 5-star recruits. I just can’t remember. Been awhile hasn’t it?

On the other hand, any great WRs comming to Cal will be treated like prince, and not dirt.>>>> Just as long as there is a QB on the team that can get the hot shot WR the ball. When is the last time UCB fans have been treated to an airial display as was seen tonight in the Rose Bowl? Been awhile hasn’t it?

And, no QB controversy either.
The best one will be on the job, period. That includes the incomming freshman. He’s been working hard in helping Cal in the recruiting job by talking to those all americans in the same west team with him, whom are not deciding yet.

I have a good feeling that he will be the one to take us to the promise land of Rose.

Coleman’s decision to come to Cal partly because of Bridgford. Carroll may decide to follow also because They have talked. And, Carroll quoted that the SC are too arrogance.

With Bridgford committed early really help Cal in the recruiting battle.

All this year WRs decided to bail out of SC because SC is still loaded with WRs.(look at their roster) And, the incoming WRs will be benched or will have to do other things.

On the other hand, any great WRs comming to Cal will be treated like prince, and not dirt.

Go Bears!
