In answer to the question, I think because various stadiums were called "bowls" or something. If anyone has a better answer, I'd be interested in it.
Yes, that's mostly right. The football game played after the Rose festival/parade was first. There was a game in 1902, then the next one in 1916. When a new stadium was built in the 20s for the football game someone suggested it be called the rose bowl. The Orange and Sugar followed in the 30s, with Cotton coming later. But Sugar bowl was called that more because of the trophy, (I can't find) there was never any sugar bowl stadium. And the orange and cotton bowls were built after the first games.
I can understand the arguments against football, but to me it seems like nothing is happening in rugby or soccer most of the time. I would never say I'm an expert, but I've watched enough to form my opinion.
