Did someone in Fresno State gear do something to anger Pele, the Hawaiian fire goddess?
Maybe a member of the traveling party packed a rock from a volcano into their suitcase. That would be one sure way. Or filled up a jar with sand from Waikiki Beach and took it back to the mainland.
There must be some logical explanation for why the Bulldogs act so cursed every time they play a bowl game in the islands.
The supporting evidence doesn’t even require a history lesson. Just three years ago, 2014, Fresno State played Rice in the Hawaii Bowl and got fried 30-6.
