Athletes playing in the game include NFL greats Eddie George, Merril Hoge, Jamal Anderson, John Kidd and NASCAR's Kasey Kahne. Also joining the Beach Bowl lineup this year is the winner of DIRECTV's nationwide search for the Ultimate Displaced Fan football's most dedicated, die-hard NFL supporter.

The final play - a Post Game Concert featuring LL Cool J!
Once the trophy has been awarded, the party continues with a live Post Game Concert as the stands empty and fans dance in the sand. It's all a great lead-in to football's biggest day of the year, and you'll find it only on DIRECTV's Channel 101, The 101® Network.
