Are you happy now, “too many bowls” people? We have now lost a bowl, an unfortunate casualty in the postseason cornucopia of football. The San Diego Bowl Game Association board of directors voted to put the nix the Poinsettia Bowl in favor of just having one bowl in San Diego.
“College football and the bowl game structure has gone through major changes through the years and our board feels the time is right to focus our efforts on one post-season game,” said Mark Neville, executive director of the San Diego Bowl Game Association. “The San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl staged exciting match-ups for more than a decade and we were one of the few cities to host two bowl games.”
Attendance is an issue across all sports, and San Diego was not immune.

The Holiday Bowl is very well attended. The Poinsettia, not so much. Its a good decision to get rid of it

Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means a whale's vagina.

You can't seriously be that upset over the loss of such a minor bowl as this. That would be like being upset that the College Basketball Invitational tournament folded.
