Hawaii sports news

1) Last week's Hawaii vs Cincinnati football game ended differently from its 2002 version!

The 2002 version ended with UH victory and a fight!

The 2008 version ended with UC victory and handshaking!

I was at the 2008 version. UH was up 24-10 at the start of the 4th quarter. At one point, a UH player was down. Because there was a few minutes without action, some UH fans started taunting Cincinnati with chants of "over-rated!"

It was bad enough that those chants came while a UH player was trying to get up from the field!

The UH player eventually got off the field on his own!

However, the chants of "over-rated!" has motivated the Cincinnati to play harder, which lead to UC's 29-24 victory!

Next time someone wants to chant "over-rated!", the need better timing!

2) UH's next game is the Hawaii Bowl, where they're playing Notre Dame. Even though this year's Notre Dame is average, it still comes with a big tradition! It's going to be exciting!

3) So far, the UH women's volleyball team is doing well in the playoffs! Will this be the year they return to the championship glory that they had in the 1980's?
