    Remind me why this is a) called the 'super bowl' when it has nothing to do with cereal and b) so mysteriously popular?

    Well:
    1) The stadium is pretty super.
    2) It looks like a giant cereal bowl.

    The first organized, post-season game was played in the Rose Bowl Stadium. It's so called because of the shape of the stadium. "Bowl" has since them become synonymous with post-season football (American) games.

    What about the much older game of bowls?

    It's football, Twey. It doesn't have to make sense-- people will watch it anyway. (I realized after this thread was posted that I'd missed it, though... can't say I'm a fan. I prefer hockey.)

    I'm not a (American) football fan either. I much prefer REAL football (I call it soccer). I just wanted to watch the super bowl because I was born in Phoenix, AZ and the Cardinals have never been to the super bowl... Man, I thought that the Cardinals were gonna win!! Too bad the Steelers made that lucky catch at the end...
