NOBODY WANTING TO PLAY HAWAII = "WEAK" SCHEDULE

Research it. Michigan paid $250k to pull out of an already scheduled season opener at home against UH to play Appalachian State. Trying to fill that slot, USC turned down a financially lucrative deal to play UH at home on ESPN. Texas declined. So it had to be filled by another I-AA team. Sick of hearing the "weak schedule" thing.

haters..haters..haters! The schedule is the way it is because no mainland school wants to come to Oahu and get their ass kicked in by the warriors! Just look what happened to Boise.

@13erikg In Football, anything can happen in a game.

Has anybody noticed that the weak schedule thing doesnt matter...

Boise St. defeated Oklahoma in the FIESTA BOWLa few years ago..

they also have defeated Virginia Tech and Georgia in the last 2 season openers..

TCU defeated Wisconsin in last years ROSE BOWL..

so yeah anybody could beat these big conference teams

Whether its preseason or NFL, that's not gonna change the way a ball is thrown or moves.

[mattotd]

Oh you mean those preseason passes, not the real NFL passes. I got ya

[Kamakazi242012]

what are you supposed to do when your o-line is just out matched?

[Kamakazi242012]

who cares. look at colt in the NFL. those are some damn nice passes

Could you imagine what kind of stats Tebow would have if he played against teams Hawaii did??... combined 54-95 record opponents.. 4 of them last place in their conferences.. 4 of them with double digit losses.. 2 of them not even in D1 (including 1 which is not in D1 AND last in their conference).. can't look at Brennan and Tebow and make comparisons unless you start looking at teams they both played. Georgia.. games that both Hawaii and Florida lost

[asmspinoy]

Brennan - 58% completion, 169 yards, 0 TDs, 3 Ints, 9 rushes, -38 yards, 0 TDs in 41-10 loss

Tebow - 64% completion, 236 yards, 1 TD, 0 Int, 13 rushes, -15 yards, 2 TDs in 42-30 loss

So if you look at that.. Goergia scored pretty much the same number of points against them but the biggest difference is this... Florida scored 30.. Hawaii scored.. 10... Brennan had 0 TDs, Tebow had 3... now that is as fair a comparison as you can get. Brennan was sacked 8 times.. Tebow was sacked 6 times..

funny how we end up playing UGA in the sugar bowl...
