Oh Hawaii...

We all saw this coming I'm sure, but Hawaii is currently being embarrassed by Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. No surprises there.

What I find fascinating is how hard the commentators are working to try and make it seem like Hawaii should be there in the first place. They keep saying how out of character the play is for Hawaii and Colt Brennan.

NO, this is just how they match up with teams that don't suck!

I can't imagine the commentators actually believe the rigmarole they're spouting, but I'm also not sure how they've kept it up for so long.

Brennan's been a man running for his life all day because his line can't handle the strength and quickness of Georgia's line. They're outclassed. Period.

Instead, you here comments like "That's the worst pass you'll see from Hawaii all year. Colt Brennan has a 71% completion percentage and if you freeze that, you'll see there's no one in the area. That's not like Hawaii at all."

NO, that's not like Hawaii when they're playing WAC opponents.

I wish someone would get the pair that's apparently required to say that Hawaii had no place being there. Being undefeated clearly didn't mean anything. No offense to the rest of the WAC, but Colt Brennan clearly holds all those records because he never played anybody.

Hawaii was up in arms last season about being left out and is proving here that they can't keep up with the big boys - hell, Georgia didn't even play in their own conference's championship game. If the WAC wants to be taken seriously, they need to send us more teams like last year's Boise State. They at least proved they were correctly placed in their BCS game.

I'm sorry Hawaii, but if you're going to bitch and moan and talk so much shit, you'd better have the chops to back it up. You didn't just lose your bowl game, you got embarrassed.

Preach it, sister. As a UGA alumni, I sat in disbelief as the commentators talked about the courage of the Hawaii team. About how they worked so hard...on and on and on. I kept waiting for somebody to say, "Of course, they're being beaten by 31 points, so let's talk about the Sugar Bowl champions for a second."

Welcome to the big leagues, Hawaii. You asked for it, you got it. Looks like it was painful.

That GA coach needs to have that damn smirk erased from his face! I totally agree with your comments the Offensive line was totally out matched, but golly, GA didnt handle it every well - IMO they showed ZERO class!

Anon, I have to agree a bit. I couldn't believe that Richt was challenging plays at the end of the third quarter.

Nicole,
Go get you a real job. Who are you trying to impress or do you just get off putting down others? How about congratulating Hawaii for thier most outstanding season..... and hopefully the stat of good things to come. Let's compare football budgets.....how well would Georgia have done on that budget?? Think about what you're saying before you print it .... such a negative article whether you are a Hawaii fan or not.
