Ryan Gaydos: College football's Hawaii Bowl highlights slowest sports day of 2024

Quote

Sports fans can breathe easy on Christmas Eve as there will only be one game played on Tuesday before a full buffet of games on Christmas Day. College football aficionados will be happy to know there is one bowl game on the slate. The Hawaii Bowl between South Florida and San Jose State. The game will start at 8 p.m. ET.

The Bulls finished 6-6 on the season and earned a second straight bowl game under head coach Alex Golesh. They had the same record last season before entering and winning the Boca Raton Bowl over Syracuse, 45-0.

The Spartans finished the season 7-5 overall in Ken Niumatalolo’s first season at the helm. The team is on a three-bowl-game losing streak. They lost the Hawaii Bowl last season and the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl in 2022. The Spartans also lost the Arizona Bowl in 2020. San Jose State hasn’t won a bowl game since the 2015 Cure Bowl under Ron Caragher.

Sports fans looking for some action should take it all in and be able to get some sleep before opening presents and starting Christmas Day at noon ET with NBA games. The NFL also has games on Christmas Day for the second straight year – a two-game menu featuring the Kansas City Chiefs against the Pittsburgh Steelers at 1 p.m. ET and the Houston Texans hosting the Baltimore Ravens at 4:30 p.m. ET.

College football will return on Dec. 26 and the NHL will be back on Dec. 27.

This field sucks too. 

[satyanash 15785]

USF went from making Saban sweat... to this.

[satyanash 15785]

That's a touch back!

[Beau Vine 55917]

I hate that rule so much.

It's not an issue if you hold on to the fuckin' ball

[Rimbo 27275]

Do we know any of the people involved with either of these teams? I know Tomey finished his career as SJSU's hfc and USF was going to show us how great Chuck Strong would be as a coach with almuni and admin solidly behind him (lol) but... anyone else? Transfers? Anything?

All 14 USF fans in the stands liked that deep pass play.

I'm just hoping for a close game. Feels like I've been seeing blowout after blowout lately

Don't even care. I got everything done but the stockings stuffed, so I'm just drankin' and enjoying the only live sports on TV, which just happens to be my favorite sport.

I mean, behind naked mud wrestling but that goes without saying

 

[Rimbo 27275]

the world needs more hula girls

[satyanash 15785]

SJSU is sorely missing Nick Nash

[Rimbo 27275]

i've seen high schools better at throwing the ball than sjsu

and note that i did not attend high schools with good football teams

[blacklab 12111]

[Rimbo 27275]

[satyanash 15785]

SJSU finally on the board

[satyanash 15785]

And USF runs back the kickoff!

Without a doubt the worst (most bizarre and punitive) rule in football.

(Edit: gotdamn this ESPN halftime show is nuts.)

Nick Nash sounds like a '50s private eye.

(Edit: a Bowl Season commercial.  About how good bowl season is for the U.S.  Who knew?)

[Beau Vine 55917]

Just once I want to hear an announcer pronounce Honolulu correctly.

[Royal Horn 8]

This game is nothing more than organized two-hand touch at the football field on Sunday afternoons...The Little Big Town Xmas special was slightly more aggressive than this action...lol

[ButtFumble 5317]

that motherfucker just put a half eaten piece of pizza in the damn dip container.....that is worse than double dipping

It’s a beautiful day in Hawaii why would you go see this crapfest

[NorthLoop 14611]

South Florida running the same sequence of plays 2 drives in a row, so SJ just runs the same blitz package again. USF kinda dumb. 

[Nueces River Rat 5828]

Looks like they are playing in Class 4A Texas High School stadium

[ButtFumble 5317]

they need a commercial where antonio brown punches jake from state farm in the face and then dances around

[NorthLoop 14611]

Hey USF, maybe don't run the same 3 plays again next drive. 3 times in a row now. 

[millhouse 2759]

Someone should ask Todd Orlando why the floor is all wet
