I don't think Hawaii is going to win out anyway because I don't think they're a good team.
BlueK, this goes beyond the specifics of Hawaii 2007. I'm not trying to defend Hawaii 2007. I'm fighting against the same SOS mindset that was used against us back in 1984; which has resulted in many teams beyond Hawaii 2007 (Utah 2004, Boise State 2006, etc.) being criticized by BYU fans who should have known better.

I lived in Tennessee in 1984. I had to listen to a daily diet of this crap back then. I don't particularly enjoy hearing it fans of my own school.
