Just a few pics of the first annual rotterbowl. GOODBYE GRABINGERS. WE HARDLY GOT DRUNK WITH THEE (or so it seems now that you are leaving). I have some other pics of some of you guys but my camera wasn't in night-time kegger mode so they are blurry. 76

Rotter Bowl I to host referee from Hell


Although prior to his hiring last month there was some uncertainty as to where Ref Zubi originated, two Rotters overheard him tell an inquisitive stranger that he is "from Hell" late Thursday night.
The stranger, making polite conversation in gratitude to Ref. Zubi's generous funding of his crack habit, told him that he "liked his accent", and followed with "Where you from, man?" Upon hearing his reply, one Rotter pressed him to reveal what part of Hell he was from, but Ref Zubi declined to answer, instead steering the conversation to something completely unrelated.
It is unclear whether Ref Zubi's regional loyalties will affect his judgement in the highly anticipated game on Sunday. When asked to speak on his authority to make fair decisions, his response was that he planned to ref "like a fascist democratic president of America".

Rotter Bowl: Too Much Hype?

All around the nation, people are asking: is there too much hype surrounding the Rotter Bowl?

In an attempt to more accurately gauge public opinion, our survey staff posed this question to 40 hard-working, freedom-loving Americans, passers-by selected completely at random and pictured below. Startlingly, our statistically significant and wholly unbiased sample audience agreed 37 to 3 that Rotter Bowl I will, without question, be the greatest event in the history of sport, freedom and/or beer drinking, perhaps only to be surpassed by Rotter Bowl II. Based on this survey, it is estimated that approximately 92.5% (plus or minus a 3% margin of error) of the American public feel this way -- an overwhelming majority.

It should be noted that one survey subject did not respond verbally, but rather made growling noises while chewing on a piece of rawhide. However, our survey team interpreted this a positive response.

The message is clear: America loves the Rotter Bowl!
