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.

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

I hate that rule so much.

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

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

SJSU is sorely missing Nick Nash

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?)

This is the worst excuse for a damn football game that I have ever seen ! An insult to the integrity of the game... Let's just chunk it every down ! No running game. Absolute crap

well the talking head just said....passing teams are going to pass!

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

It’s amazing how few people are in the stands.

The only people who should be watching this shitshow are dudes trying to avoid their in-laws.
