University of Hawaii Calls Out Sick

[PowerOfDixieland 3,227]

Won't play in the Hawaii Bowl.  Announced less than 24 hours before kickoff, wonder how much EasyPost is out as title sponsor? 

Hoping this will be the beginning of the end of the bowl system as ESPN has decided we should have it.

"We want to thank the Memphis Tigers for making the long trip to Hawaii. We are disappointed we can’t compete on the football field.”

Imagine flying all the way from Memphis to Hawaii to not play a game. Players must be incredibly annoyed. Hopefully they get a beach day out of it.

They are probably not to disappointed. Weather has been great and probably have gotten all the goodies. Cancellation of the game probably gives them more beach time

Right, but it is possibly the last game for some of them. Sucks for sure.

Load Memphis up and fly them to play Wake Forest. Easy!

Yep! Let them enjoy paradise for a few days first though.
