It's great that U.H. get an invite to the Hawaii Bowl. What an honor to received such an invitation after being ranked #24 in the nation.
Many of you here are old enough to remember the old days. There was no Hawaii Bowl. What an accomplishment was it for U.H. to go to the Holiday bowl during the Bob Wagner era. That meant something. And other bowl games (Sugar) since also were recognized as something to be proud of.
Hawaii Bowl? Should that be the "Default Bowl?" Can the Hawaii Bowl ever NOT invite U.H. Warriors? No one will go.
So it is about the money, rather than what a Bowl game means as a capstone to an excellent season?
If Hawaii is ranked #24, why isn't there other (mainland) Bowl invitations? Why not? #24 in the nation. How many schools can say that? How many other schools get invited to more glamorous Bowls and are not ranked or with a worst record?
