Give 'em time. They may have transportation issues:

Oh man, Ellie Mae. Almost as good looking as Mary Ann. But nowhere near Eartha Kitt.
Or for that matter, while we’re discussing Catwoman, Michelle Pfeiffer.

Anyone else having issue with points not being updated? I remember sticky about it and cleared cache, but it's an issue again.
December 31st, 2023 at 10:16 PM ^
Mine haven't updated since 2013 but I will keep trying.

We don't talk about that here.

When I lived out there I went to see Michigan play FSU basketball in the Elite 8 (2018 in LA). It literally felt like a home game. Couldn’t believe it. The Michigan alumni base out there is massive.

Michigan hasn't been to the Rose Bowl which is considered our valhalla since 07. Bama was just there in 21.
Bama goes to this semi game pretty much 2 out of 3 years. Some fatigue. I am sure Texas Washington and Michigan fans will be more voracious. Michigan has been there 3 years in a row but not winning so it's still fresh. Also we have a lot of alumni everywhere including CA.

Alabama played in a college football game that was technically called "the Rose Bowl" on 1-1-2021, but that wasn't really the Rose Bowl. It was the COVID year and the game got moved to Texas.
Purely anecdotal, but I work with 2 Alabama alums: they are both local to LA, don't even have to travel, but both are skipping the game. But they're strongly considering going to Houston if they win. So, the "they're holding out for the Final" argument may be partially true.

Be loud, be rowdy.

This has been my experience. Seems about 10:1 Michigan to Alabama fans.

I’m in a hotel where numerous SEC personalities (Finebaum, others) are staying. They’ve been down to the bar and have been socializing.
I’d still say here it’s 70/30 M fans.

Downtown it was definitely more Maize and Blue, but today at the Rose Bowl Bash outside the stadium they showed up in droves. Seemed like more them than us, although many were surprisingly friendly and good natured in all the back and forth chanting.

I’m staying at the Biltmore downtown and it’s 90% blue.

We've been all over town in the last few days. Definitely been asking where the Crimson Tide fans have been. Even in the line to see the parade floats yesterday where I expected a mix, I only saw a few Alabama fans. Went to the alumni 5K in Santa Monica this AM and walking around on the pier after the event, very few Bama fans. Had dinner tonight at a burger place in Hollywood in our hotel and there were about 6 Alabama fans in there with us as the only Michigan fans.

Those cocky bastards probably bought tickets to Houston feeling their victory tomorrow is inevitable.

I’d advise that many are likely figuring they’ll save their money for what is essentially a one hour flight or a day’s drive

Just a guess, but I don't think they're all thin...
