SUGAR BOWL TONIGHT!!! Support our Warriors!

Filed Under Hawaii Sports | Leave a Comment

Hau’oli Makahiki Hou (Happy New Year) all!!  What a wonderful way to start 2008 than by watching our Warriors tame the Dogs at the Sugar Bowl tonight?  You can see the Sugar Bowl on FOX at 8:30pmEST.  (Check local listings)

If you’d like to pre-order the DVD which will have all of the commercials cut out and some extras you can’t see anywhere else, click here to go to the Sugar Bowl shop.  I’ve got my copy pre-ordered and this will be the perfect addition to any Warrior fans collection regardless of the outcome. 

Of course Georgia is favored by 10 points minimum according to most sports “experts.”  That’s fine, the Warrior fans are used to hearing people talk smack.  The “experts” sure as heck never saw our boys going undefeated and to the Sugar Bowl!  So keep talking crap, doubters.  Us Warrior fans…we believe!

Anyone on Oahu Saturday may want to head over to see our Warriors before they’re busy with holiday and Sugar Bowl business!  Article below courtesy of the Honolulu Star Bulletin:

University of Hawaii football players and coaches will be available for autographs on Saturday, Dec. 22, from noon until 1:00 p.m. on UH’s soccer field, which is adjacent to the football practice field.

Fans requesting quarterback Colt Brennan’s autograph will be limited to one item with his signature only. Items will not be personalized or include special notes. He will also not pose for photos in order to accommodate as many fans as possible with autographs.

This will be the final time before the Allstate Sugar Bowl that UH players and coaches will be available for autographs and public appearances.

Congrats to the University of Hawaii Warriors for beating Washington 35-28!  Gotta say after the rusty start of 3 fumbles in the first quarter and a team that didn’t resemble the WAC champs, that it was a bit of a nail biter being down by 3 touchdowns.  But once the team got in their groove, they got the job done and in true Warrior style made the final minutes of the game truly memorable and victorious as they’ve done so many times this season…this PERFECT season!

True Aloha and Warrior fans all over the globe want to extend their congratulations and aloha to our gridiron heroes.  You did it!!

Tune in to watch history!

Don’t forget to tune in to ESPN2 or ESPN360.com and watch our Warriors remain the only undefeated team in college football when they play Washington at 11:30pmEST.  (Check local listings)

If we win this one, there will be no way they can deny the Warriors the respect they so richly deserve and will be off to a BCS bowl.  (If they find a way to screw them out of a bowl shot, the BCS better be ready for a heavy flood of “communication” from the Warrior nation!)

So nap up east coast, pump up all Warrior fans and let them hear our battle cries right along with them.  I don’t know about you but when they do the Maori haka dance at the beginning of each game, it brings so much emotion.  (See video below) Makes this wahine proud to be a warrior fan.  We always knew this team had heart and now the whole world gets to see it!

True Aloha would like to extend its heartfelt congratulations and aloha to the Warrior football team who defeated Boise State for the WAC Championship last night!  This of course means Hawaii remains undefeated and this has everyone looking with anticipation at where the BCS poll will place the Warriors.  C’mon BCS, you’ve GOTTA recognize…what more do these boys need to do??

For a great recap of the highlights, check out this Honolulu Advertiser article.

Warriors win in spectacular nailbiter!

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!

Warriors win; Brennan down

Just watched a great game that had the Warriors coming out on top, now making them and Kansas the only remaining undefeated teams in college football!

Toward the end of the 4th quarter, superstar quarterback Colt Brennan was leveled by a Fresno player which should have resulted in a penalty minimum as it looked helmet to helmet.  I’d be lying if for a second I didn’t think I’d just witnessed a career ending injury take place.  As most players for both teams kneeled around him on the field, I shed a tear or two and said a little prayer.  After what seemed like a lifetime, Colt finally stood on his shaky legs and was in obvious pain.  He was taken from the field with the fans chanting “Colt, Colt, Colt….”  As of right now, no update has been given as to whether Brennan is okay or if this will affect the rest of the season.

True Aloha extends its congratulations to the Warriors and good thoughts in hopes Colt is okay.  We’re proud of you all!

Update:  Brennan has a mild concussion and is expected to play in next week’s game.

Don’t forget!

Tonight on ESPN you’ll be able to catch the Hawaii Warriors take on San Jose State at 8pm EST (check local listings in your neck of the woods)  Colt Brennan says he’s geared up and ready to go.  If you didn’t read about last week’s game, Colt had to come out after the first quarter, scoring 10 pts.  BUT the final score was 52-37 against Utah State which means that we have a kick ass team this year overall! 

Oh man, not that I want Ohio State to lose but as Hawaii continues to crawl up the ranks the dream game of OSU playing UH could come true and this would be one happy wahine!!!

Hawaii Warrior Football Schedule

I am pumped for football season to start!  I’m not an NFL gal but I love Hawaii Warrior and OSU Buckeye college football.  Looks like we’re gonna luck out Warrior fans with THREE televised broadcasts of the #24 ranked Hawaii football team this year.  Below is the schedule.  Check our events calendar to be reminded of when ESPN will be showing these games.

September 2       Northern Colorado      12:05 AM ET

September 8       at Louisiana Tech         7:00 PM ET

September 15     at UNLV                        9:30 PM ET

September 23    Charleston Southern    12:05 AM ET

September 29     at Idaho                         5:00 PM ET

October 7            Utah State                     12:05 AM ET

October 12          at San Jose State          8:00 PM ET    *ESPN/ESPN360*

October 28         New Mexico State         12:05 AM ET

November 10     Fresno State                  11:05 PM ET

November 16      at Nevada                      11:05 PM ET   *ESPN2/ESPN360*

November 23     Boise State                      9:05 PM ET    *ESPN2/ESPN360*

December 1        Washington                      TBA

(On a side note I have to give a big hearty dropping trou moon to The Big Ten Network who has singled handedly screwed up the viewing of OSU games for some games this year.  Big 10 towns are now unable to see many of these games in their homes any more as a majority of local cable companies were not able to afford the outrageous licensing fees involved without passing on the cost to all of their subscribers.  Just another example of how the almighty dollar and corporate greed are ruining this nation.   Apparently merchandising and buying tickets to the games aren’t enough.  Of course many in Hawaii have already had to deal with this since they have to pay Oceanic Cable to see the Warriors play if they didn’t go to the stadium.  How much? $60 PER GAME!!!!  This is completely disgusting to me.  It’s the worst form of financial blackmail to people who want to do nothing more than support their hometown boys and enjoy some good football.  Shame on you!)
