I remember being at the Houston Hawaii game– an incredible shootout between two offensive geniuses– Art Briles of Houston and June Jones. We won in triple overtime off of a great performance by Timmy who did not start (5 TD’s), Michael Brewster who ran for 2 TD’s and key yardage to move the chains, and Jason Rivers with 3 TD’s. Timmy threw some beautiful long passes. Rivers and Komine were the leading receivers, but several contributed– including Cockheran and Welch. People also remember the fight of course.

Maybe the should move the date of the game in the future. Sure, not many bowl games on Christmas Eve and the television station can corral the market, but, if Hawaii is not in it, does the game actually make money? It’s hard for Hawaii fans to support the game on Christmas Eve with many other things to do. My suggestion would be a game after Christmas. Fans could “gift” tickets for Christmas, and other football fans won’t have to miss family functions on the Eve. I wouldn’t want the game to go away because of lack of fans.

I thought there was a requirement for minimum average attendance for x number of years. With the home team not qualified for most years, is the Hawaii Bowl in jeopardy?
