Christmas is almost upon us, which means a temporary break from bowl games. But before everyone opens their gifts and starts thinking about how quickly they can return things, there's one more game to put you in the holiday spirit.
Hawaii plays a de facto home game against BYU in the Hawaii Bowl, so enjoy the coconut trees and the numerous shots of the ocean, Don Ho and volcanoes. The announcers will do their best to make you feel bad that you're having terrible weather while they are calling the game in shorts and Hawaiian shirts.
HAWAII BOWL (8 pm, Honolulu, HI)
Hawaii (9-5) vs. Brigham Young (7-5)
WHY TO WATCH: Duh -- it's Hawaii on Christmas Eve. There will be numerous shots of coconuts, palm trees and the ocean, which should help you relax after a big afternoon of wrapping presents. The football is almost secondary, though it should be a good show from two teams who love to throw it all over the place. BYU is better and stingier on defense, but Hawaii provides a challenge to everyone it faces -- provided it gets the good version of Cole McDonald at quarterback.
BOWL RECORDS: Hawaii 6-6, BYU 15-20-1
BETTING NUMBERS: BYU -2, Total 64
