    Say WHAT?!???? You'd better look at this link, for starters. Maybe the news never got to you there in Seattle, but Hawaii played in the 1992 Holiday Bowl... and we WON it, beating Illinois 27-17.
    Most of us earn credibility by posting FACTS.

    Go Warriors!!! Again!

    That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

    Damn, I feel old.

    And yeah, I remembered that one with coach Wagner and QB Michael Carter.

      Ahh...memories of Michael Carter, Ivin Jasper, Travis Sims, Sea World, and Jack Murphy Stadium.

      I was an 8th grader then, but I was also caught up in the madness. I think I still got videos of the footage I taped! I'm sure I still have my WAC Champions and Holiday Bowl POGS too!

      Damn straight the Rainbow Warriors got national attention then. True, this was way before the mess known as the BCS, but still very deserving of recognition of "playing with the big boys."

        I know. I was disappointed in Yoshida's decision to let Wagner go.

        But then everything happens for a reason. Von Appen made way for JJ to come back.

          I remember that game well. I also got it on tape, and play it occasionally. I was on a high for about a week.

            Yeah, the Holiday Bowl in 1992 is not at the level of a BCS bowl today, but it was a pretty prestigious bowl back then. also, the Illini had (future NFL) stars like Dana Howard, Simeon Rice, and Kevin Hardy--so it was an impressive win for Hawaii.

              Gee, Ms. Negativity sure does get real quiet when she gets proven wrong... as happens so very often.

                There was also a "Poi" Bowl or "Pineapple" Bowl played against UW in 1938. UW won that game, 53-17.

                Huskies vs. Warriors History: Washington and Hawai'i have played only twice in the two teams' histories - in the 1938 Pineapple Bowl (sometimes also referred to as the Poi Bowl) and in a regular-season game in Seattle in 1973. For a bowl game, there's little information available about that 1938 meeting. The '37 Huskies had finished the regular season 5-2-2 and 4-2-2 in the PCC. The team had stored all its gear for the off-season when an invitation to play came from the University of Hawai'i. Coach Jimmy Phelan polled the team, received unanimous approval, and the UW set off by ship from Vancouver, B.C., for a week-long voyage, during which the team practiced on deck. The UW took the lead early on as Jimmy Johnston ran 15 yards around left end before lateralling to center Bud Erickson, who went 32 more yards for a touchdown. Johnston then hit Merle Miller on a 35-yard score, then set up two other TDs with a 69-yard punt return and a 30-yard run to the Hawai'i one. The Huskies led 26-0 before the home team notched a first down. The Huskies' second unit posted two more long scores (a 41-yard run from Everett Austin and a 50-yard play on a ball lateralled from Joe Dubsky to Rich Worthington) in the second quarter for a 39-0 halftime lead. Lloyd Phelps (53 yards) and Don Jones (20) added two more TDs in the third quarter before Hawai'i got two late scores from Akee Choy.

                  I don't get your post.

                  Are you comparing UH's 1992 Holiday Bowl win to games played before UH became an NCAA Division 1 team?

                  I'm confused.

                    No, just mentioning that that was another bowl game that UH played in.

                      I see that, but I'm trying to see how your recent posts correlate with what LikaNui quoted in the OP...?

                        Just for memory sake, I forgot to mention ... that game, that season, I think Travis Sims was not given enough credit. He was a damned good runner, a slasher-type runner, which was perfect for that 1992 offense. He was the difference in the Illinois game.
