Exciting to see the Hawaii Warrior football team end the season with a perfect 12-0 record -- making the team eligible for a BCS bowl game.
UH will probably play the Sugar Bowl -- quite a step up from its more recent appearances in the, um, Hawaii Bowl.
The team secured its ranking (No. 10) in the BCS after defeating Washington 35-28 (coming back from what could have been quite a disappointing defeat).
Of course, most of us remember going to UH games and cheering on the, yes, Rainbows. (From what I understand, old habits die hard: Fans still cheer "Go Bows!" in the stands.)
Deciding the nickname "Rainbows" was too wimpy, the school -- in what was a controversial move -- renamed itself the Warriors in 2000. Here's the Honolulu Star-Bulletin's recap at the time.
