You ever see one of those games where it’s all on the line and it comes down to one man?  Last night kicker Dan Kelly (#86) was that man pulling out a 45 yard field goal the last 15 seconds of the game and made it…BUT…a nanosecond before that field goal was kicked, Nevada Wolf Pack coach Chris Ault called their last time out making it in vain.  Hawaii was down by one.  The players were all holding hands on the sidelines in anticipation.  The hubby and I were screeching, twitching and knee bouncing in nervousness.  This was it.  If Kelly didn’t make it, the Warriors undefeated streak would end in Reno, Nevada and the chance for a BCS bowl game would be gone. 

At 11.7 seconds left in the game, Dan Kelly kicked that ball right between the uprights for a successful field goal and Hawaii’s undefeated streak remained in tact.  In the middle of the night on the east coast, these 2 Hawaii fans were screaming, crying, laughing, applauding and relieved that our Bows were able to pull off the impossible.  Now the world will be able to see our boys for the winners they are.  People are waiting for Hawaii to fail because they’re such underdogs.  Well this wahine is all about the underdogs and last night’s game was about making dreams come true.  Last night wasn’t about the talents of quarterback Colt Brennan for which the team is typically known as he was sidelined most of the night as a precaution.  Last night was about a great football TEAM who deserves all of the praise they’re getting and what a team they are!

We’re still living the dream with you Warriors.  Whether local, mainland or halfway around the world, Warrior fans are proud of you and can’t wait to see you shine in a BCS bowl.  Keep up the awesome work!
