It tended to be one that could land some of the more intriguing matchups, playing well above its place in the bowl structure...

...and that's what annoys me. This bowl was a good one, and one of the few I would watch because it could somehow get these great pairings. You wonder if it picked up enemies from the older, more established bowls because it wasn't running in their circles.

Yeah, we have too many bowls. It's a shame THIS ONE has to be one of those to see go away.

It was the Holiday Bowl that ended it, they owned the bowl. This is what happens when an organizations owns 2 bowls. If any MW bowl needed to get the axe it should be the Potato.

When SDSU and the MLS team gets the new stadium built by 2020, the Poinsettia will get revived.

That's a shame. The flagship always wins, even if it's fallen over the years.

I'm with everyone who wants to see this trim, but losing a bowl that actually could conduct its business well and provide an exciting product? This wasn't the kind of slimming people had in mind, especially given its relevance.

Seems to me the folks in San Diego are saying they can't continue to conduct their business well with two bowls.
