2021 Tropical Bowl Preview Share this story The 2021 college football season is over, but post-season bowls will be occurring over the next few weeks. Mountain West alums are taking part in the Tropical Bowl, the East-West Shrine Game (although the game won’t be played), the Hula Bowl, and the Senior Bowl. This post will focus on the Tropical Bowl. These events are used primarily as camps with a game at the end. Invited players get officially measured and weighed upon checking in. Then, there are a few days of practice with NFL coaches. The practice time for players is really at the heart of these events.
