The Vegas Line, as reported in the New York Post, had 'Bama -17 on Wednesday, then on Thursday, it ticked down another point to 'Bama -16, which indicated to me that many are taking UH and the points...my guess is not because better are thinking of a UH upset, but simply cause 'Bama won't cover. I'm not sure what the line is now.
The first three weeks of a season are tough to handicap; it seems to me that college football touts are at their best from the fourth week on. Anyway, I really would like to see UH win this game, but there are too many factors at play here going against the 'Bows...mainly, I see the outrageous travel miles to Tuscaloosa, and playing in Central Daylight Saving Time (while still on HST) as being big negatives. Add to that playing in 'Bama, playing in a full house, in a state where college football is a religion on Saturday, I have a feeling that there will be a lot of Roman Coliseum mentality in force...let's beat these guys big-time kind of thing. I hope not. Besides, 'Bama Coach Shula is a class guy I doubt who will run up a score to impress the BCS and because I wouldn't be surprised if 'Bama will return to Honolulu someday to play UH again there..no reason in creating simmering malice, like BYU did with some of their run-up-the-score games against UH in the Edwards era.
In as much as I love Na Koa, my prediction: 'Bama 35 UH 14 to take a 2-1 lead in the overall series.
We gotta stop their running game...their literally running us over!
3 - 3 with end of the 1st quarter.
Why does Hawaii have so many personal fouls!
3-10 Alabama
3-15 Alabama Halftime (they got a safety on us because of a botched snap on a punt that was in the red zone)
UH only 53 yards at the halftime
10-22 3rd quarter... we screwed up on the 1 yard line and fumbled the ball!
Touchdown Hawaii...
17 - 25 down by a td and a 2 pt. conversion. 8 minutes left!
Go Warriors!
good last effort
final 17-25 and it went down to the last play of the game...
Good showing...
off to dukes

Energy answers are already here.
I didn't watch the game... but I wish I did. Alabama is a very tough team. I’ve read some props from (sorry, can’t find the link I read) some sports writers saying that Hawaii came in and made Alabama fight for that win. I think Hawaii could’ve won that game, but we’re our own worst enemy. But I’m optimistic about this season. The warriors will come to my town on November 4th, so I can’t wait for that.
Go Warriors!!
PS. Who wants Hawaii to face BYU again!! I DO!!
I usually follow the crowd .... except, when they're going the WRONG WAY!
