Hawaii Warriors Take Championship

Football or sports fan I am not although Friday WAS the biggest event at Aloha Stadium since I went to the swap meet two weeks ago :) It also turned my head around while reading yesterday mornings headlines in the Honolulu Advertiser: Crowd goes wild over Hawaii victory!

Starting a week ago they kept warning us about the traffic that would accompany Black Friday shopping the day after Thanksgiving and the biggest football game ever.

It was the Western Athletic Conference Football Championship with our own Hawaii Warriors against Boise State.

I happened to be out and about "Traveling the Road of Aloha....The ActiveRain MEETING with Peers" with Kathy McGraw (fellow Rainer) and her family who are visiting from California. While we went in the other direction to the North Shore....the game and Black Friday shopping took over the freeways and congested traffic throughout the southern part of Oahu.

I had no clue why there was so much ranting and raving about this particular game....until I read:

After 28 years, Our Hawaii Warriors made a grand milestone 39-27 victory over five-time conference champion Boise State and their FIRST outright WAC title ever. WOW! Now I am impressed! This proved to be the biggest crowd ever to attend a University of Hawaii home game with 479,651 49,651 people.

I am proud and maybe I'll just pay more attention to sports from now on.

I love football, that is exciting news.

Missy: I think I'll watch our state stuff from now on....

Congratulations...coming from a football fan...that really is very exciting Sally!!!

Monika: I guess I'm an oddball...I'd rather watch the History Channel than sports on tv. Hey, but I will keep up to date from now on!

I don't follow that team but I catch the Pro-bowl and seems like a great stadium...

woo hoo Sally, that is great! I am not a BIG football fan, but I do try to watch the sports wrap up so I can let me friends know I say the great play! That is the only way I can keep up with all of it. Of course, living in Red Sox and Patriot Country -- I ALWAY watch those games! Enjoy the victory!

Good to see HI do well this year. They wll be playing New Years Day I am sure!

Neal: Well, at least you follow some teams....this is our first WAC title ever so it is something for all of us here to be proud of...football fans or not. :)

Joan: Thanks Joan....I know the game...just in my older years lost interest .... in any case .... I sure am proud of those young men!

Gary: Okay! I'll watch!

Sally,

Are there really 479,000 people on that Island!!! WOW! Thanks, Fran

Fran: Correction! I hit an extra 7 in there!!! it's 49,651 (changed in post) OMG....stadium doesn't hold that much! Half of our island would have been in there lol!

Sally,

I like it, when you write about Football...As for the numbers you stated, i'm not going to tease you :0)

Tom: The finger slipped! I swear! hehe! Geez. I wonder how come no one else noticed :)

Sally -- I can understand that you would rather watch the history channel over sports, however, Hawaii may make history by continuing to win. It was a nice win for them and although they did not make it into the top 10 this week -- they may in the end.

Congratulations Warriors. It was a long time coming.

Thanks so much for reading and commenting on Why I Unsubscribed From Your Blog

I guess I'm really in the minority here....Just not into it!

Sally I watch the game and the Hawaii Football Team was a lot better then I thought they were. It will be interesting to see what bowl game they get to play in.

Dan: From what I hear....it was the first time coming!

Lisa: Me either...but I'm happy for our UH Warriors!

Joan: Okay...

George: Okay...I have no idea what a bowl game is but hooray?

Oops...missed you Aziz! Sorry! Well...they already made history for this win here this time!

I'm the 'odd woman out' I detest football...I never did understand it! My husband and youngest son (who is visiting for the holiday) have been glued to the TV since Thursday!

Mary: I don't like the guy stuff either but then again my husband forces me to watch the History channel (thank goodness hehe) although I have to say I am proud. Hawaii has not been in this position and the pictures looked so neat...they were all happy. :)

Sally- You can post this in the fantasy sports group.

YEAH! Warriors! I am a football fan and have been following the Warriors! This is a great victory for them! My sons are really big fans and played all through their youth. They are also following the Warriors. They have a great team this year! Katerina

Sally, that DOES sound like cause for celebration. Hawaii and football, all wrapped up in one package - now that would be a fantasy for a lot of people! My husband would be at the top of that list.

Sally, I think that news is thrilling for Hawaii! What a terrific win. I loved reading in the article that they all stormed the field and it became a mosh pit---makes the safety of TV seem so much better sometimes!

Sis - Football is the only sport I still follow. Sounds like it was a good game and great achieviement for Hawaii.

Katerina: I watched some of the plays that got them a few touchdowns last night on the news. I tell you what...these kids played hard and GOOD!

Margaret: My husband is right along with me...okay, news. :)

Carole: Yes it does! I don't think it was like on the cops show though. no riot :)

Jason: Hey lil bro! I looked back at one of our conversations on here...and I called you when there was a supposed game going on...I hope I didn't interrupt :)

That's wonderful, Sally...congratulations to them. WoW, they had an excellent turn-out!

I have a friend who lives in Boise and I would imagine this is the talk of the town right about now.

Jo: This Saturday will be another big one....we may not watch the whole thing but we will tune in every so often to keep tabs on what's going on.

Sigh... I remember when they were the Rainbow Warriors and it was OK.l

Lysa: You're funny.....I remember when...Girl, I think you best come for a vacation to soothe your Aloha homesickness :)

Some game! WOW! Think we have a shot at a BOWL? Jerry

Of course they do! We'll see Saturday and how well they do there. I don't understand too much on how they get into the bowl but I believe it's still a matter of "getting picked"?

Sally, Thanks for your enthusiasm. This is really exciting. All of us are learning as our Team moves us into new territory. Great BLOG by the way. Jerry

Thanks Jerry!

That was the biggest game in Hawaii history. Since they won, next week will now become the biggest game in school history. We are the only undefeated team in the nation.

Go COLT BRENNAN!!! Our quarterback is one of the favorites for the Heisman.

GO WARRIORS!!!

Randy, now, that's what I like to see! Overt and double shouted enthusiasm. Keep up the good spirit.

Randy: Are you going to the game? I watched the news last night and scalpers are already selling tickets. :)

Okay Jerry....Randy has a post too....
