Psst. The football team is not the Rainbow Warriors. It's just the Warriors! ;)

It sucks for any team to get shafted, but the Hawai`i Bowl was created pretty much for Hawaii. In 2001 we had a kick ass season (ironically that was the season Tim fucked up his wrist), massacred BYU in front of a national audience, and STILL didn't get invited to ANY bowl games. The Hawai`i Bowl automatically invites the Warriors as long as they have a winning season. It doesn't sound fair, but that's the way it is, unfortunately.

So too bad for Akron, I guess.

Mr. ISUKappa and I are making the drive (14-16 hours, depending on who's driving) to Shreveport for the bowl game. Win or lose, I love my Cyclones.

Before BYU left the WAC for the MWC, the BYU vs. Hawai`i game was the biggest rivalry game every year. When Ty Detmer won the Heisman, he was in Hawai`i on that day. And what happened? We kicked their ass then too. :)

But anyway, this was an article from that 2001 game, we won 72-45 and ended BYU's hope for an undefeated season.

I remember that game! I just hadn't learn to despise/loathe/hate BYU so much yet.

Oh how it slightly stung me to cheer the spoiled brats of Troy on as they demolished the cult earlier this year.

None of you fools better be dissin on Timmy Chang.

someone will take a flier on him, prob 6th round - he's got as much potential as, say, ken dorsey. lots of guys with his physical profile (below-average size, average arm, very little experience in a pro-style offense) wind up being effective professional quarterbacks, but it's the exception rather than the rule - there are dozens of busts for every success story.

i'm not sure anyone should be compared to david klingler, though - what a beating

My honest opinion is that he'll be a wasted pick. He leads the history of the NCAA in interceptions. But someone might pick him up just to take a chance and see how he works out on the practice squad.

In the past, a number of smaller QB's who are otherwise great athletes have been drafted as receivers or safeties and have done reasonably well.
