Due to the debt of the game the rumor is the game might fold sometime this month. If not and it is actually played their debt is so high most project them to fold next year.

Has anyone else heard this?

No, but I'll e-mail my good friend who lives in Hawaii, and see what he knows!! All those games go under eventually except the Senior Bowl which the NFL is funding now.

The East-West Shrine is still going strong and will.

When you find out please post. I don't know anyone in Hawaii who could tell me.

What is Nealy doing now?

He's back at Texas State trying to get his degree. He recently signed a 2 year deal with the Calgary Stampeders.

Looks like the game will played this season, with some pretty good 1-aa players slated to play.

If the Hula Bowl goes away, there seem to be a million more games out there to it's place: Inta Juice Classic; Gridiorn Classic; Texas Vs. USA, Las Vegas AAC, ect....

I don't need a bowl game to show that the FBS/BCS has, on the whole, more good players than we do. Besides, just because they do doesn't diminish my enjoyment of the FCS one little bit. :cool:

A player from Brown, Zak DeOssie, turned down an invitation to play in the Hula Bowl in order to play in the East-West game.

Also, does the East-West Shrine game do well? They used to be in San Francisco but last year decided to move to San Antonio and moved again to Houston for this year.

The only thing I don't like about the Hula Bowl or East-West Shrine game is when those guys swap decals with each other for their helmets. I mean it's a nice gesture but it makes it hard sometimes to tell who is from what school. OK, Ill stop my nitpicking now. :bawling:
