SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -Notre Dame is headed to the Hawaii Bowl.
The Fighting Irish (6-6), who found out last week coach Charlie Weis will be back next season, learned Sunday they will face Hawaii (7-6) on Christmas Eve. The Irish will be out to end their NCAA-record nine-game bowl losing streak.
The Irish played in the 1984 Aloha Bowl, losing 27-20 to SMU. The Irish also traveled to Hawaii to play the Warriors twice, beating them 48-42 in 1991 and 23-22 in 1997.
The Hawaii Bowl was cleared to invite the Irish after Arizona beat Arizona State 31-10 on Saturday, leaving the Sun Devils ineligible for a bowl berth.
The Irish already have held two practices preparing for the bowl game.
