Aloha Stadium
Wednesday, Dec. 24
ESPN, 8 p.m. ET

Nevada Wolf Pack with an overall record of 8-4 and 2nd place at WAC travels to Hawaii to play the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl against Southern Methodist Mustangs with an overall record of 7-5 and 2nd place at C-USA West. SMU will be playing in its first bowl since 1984. Ironically, the Mustangs may feel like they’re going up against the Pony Express when they face a Nevada rushing offense that is the best in the nation, with three 1,000-yard rushers. SMU coach June Jones is returning to the islands for the first time since leaving the University of Hawaii for SMU two years ago. More

Hawaii Bowl History

This bowl was founded in 2002 by ESPN Regional, the marketing arm of the sports network, in partnership with the University of Hawaii, the Western Athletic Conference and Conference USA.

Aloha Stadium is home to the University of Hawaii's Warriors football team and hosts a multitude of other events including NFL Pro Bowl, baseball games, soccer matches, concerts, car shows, fairs and a swap meet - a popular shopping site for residents and tourists.

The first Hula Bowl All-Star Classic was played on January 5, 1946, marking the beginning of a post-season bowl game that has spanned seven decades and launched the professional careers of countless football greats. That inaugural game, founded by the legendary Hawaii sports promoter Mackay “Shogun of Sports” Yanagisawa, featured local Hawaiian All-Stars taking on a national “college” team. Much has changed, however, but the Aloha spirit of the game has remained the same.

One thing that has remained constant about the Hula Bowl is the incredible players that come to Hawaii year after year. Over the past 59 years, the Hula Bowl has seen such Heisman Trophy winners as Johnny Rogers, Jim Plunkett, Tony Dorsett, Billy Sims, Mike Garrett, Steve Owens, Rashaan Salaam, Danny Wuerffel, Ricky Williams, Ron Dayne, and Eric Crouch.

In 1997, the Hula Bowl joined forces with the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), the Downtown Athletic Club (home of the Heisman Trophy Award) and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes to create one of the strongest alliances among the post-season bowls. That game featured Notre Dames’ Lou Holtz being upstaged by Florida State’s Bobby Bowden, as Heisman Trophy winner Danny Wuerffel led his South squad to a 26-13 victory.

1998 brought dramatic changes for the Hula Bowl and its fans when the game moved to Maui, bringing the bowl into its present form. This move proved at the time to be a winning combination, as it gave the players an opportunity to play on natural grass in a beautiful setting.

Since 1998 there have been a number of exciting games led by well known collegiate players such as Drew Brees and not so well known Japanese players from the Kansai and Kantoh Football Associations in Japan. In the 2002 game alone 78 players were drafted or signed by an NFL team. Coaches and fans alike have seen some of the best players play their final collegiate game in the beautiful state of Hawaii; what a storied tradition it has been and will continue to be.
