The Sheraton Hawaii Bowl is a post-season National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I-A College Football Bowl Game that has been played annually at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii on the island of Oahu since 2002 . Played on either Christmas Day or Christmas Eve , the game matches teams from either Conference USA or Pac-10 vs. the WAC member schools. In its first year, the Hawaii Bowl was sponsored by ConAgra Foods . Every year over 100,000 ConAgraDogs are given away at the event. The following year, Sheraton Hotels And Resorts Hawaii assumed sponsorship which it continues to hold today. The game succeeded the Aloha Bowl (played 1982-2000) and the Oahu Bowl (played 1998-2000). As part of the agreement with the WAC, a "Hawaii guarantee" allows the University Of Hawaii a bid in the Hawaii Bowl regardless of its standings in the WAC, provided it is bowl eligible. In 2006 , the Pac-10 replaced C-USA as the WAC's opposition. If the Pac-10 was not able to provide a bowl-eligible team, C-USA would have supplied the team (assuming it had a sixth team that was bowl eligible). If neither conference had a bowl-eligible team, the spot would have been filled by an at-large team. In 2007 , C-USA will again have a guaranteed spot in the Hawai'i Bowl. http://conferenceusa.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/hawaii-bowl.html PREVIOUS RESULTS MVPS SEE ALSO List Of College Bowl Games EXTERNAL LINKS REFERENCES |
