The idea that Hawaii wants to play Michigan is just something you made up. Why should Michigan or anyone play Hawaii? and why Hawaii and not Boise State or BYU or Utah State or Louisiana Monroe? or some high school team? No one knows when you make a schedule who will be good and bad. It is not like Hawaii was specifically black listed. It is silly to think big conference need to accomodate the "I played no one but am undefeated" this month team. Hawaii gets more than it deserves by playing Georgia in a New Year's Day bowl game and I fully expect that they will get blown out.

Hawaii coach June Jones wanted his football team to open the season at Michigan. The Wolverines wouldn't play the Warriors and instead hosted Division I-AA Appalachian State, which beat Michigan 34-32 in one of the biggest upsets in college football history.
Hawaii was scheduled to play Michigan State this season, but the Spartans paid $250,000 to cancel the game. Jones tried to replace the Spartans with Southern California, but even the Trojans wanted no part of quarterback Colt Brennan and the Warriors' high-octane offense.
"We offered to play everybody," Jones said. "No one wanted to play us."

Also: Hawaii tried to schedule name opponents, including Michigan, which opted for I-AA Appalachian State instead.

EDIT: Here's a good article from the Sporting News for all you "why doesn't Hawaii play a tougher schedule?" parrots.

Originally posted by jofazReport me to whoever you want. You had no call to accuse me of "making something up", when I had already provided citations backing my statement up and the information was easily available on the net. Before you accuse people of being liars, you should make a minimum effort to ascertain the facts.
Who do you think you are to threaten to punch me in the mouth? I have no problem with you being a little ignorant fool, I think threats of violence are completely inappropriate and if it happens again you should be reported.
Originally posted by jofazYou call someone a liar and then have the nerve to act offended when they won't take such BS? Besides, I didn't "physically threaten you"; I made a factual statement i.e. that if someone called me a liar to my face they'd get a punch in the mouth, just like the other factual statement I made i.e. that Hawaii wanted to play Michigan but Michigan balked. Sorry these facts make you cry.
i wasn't the one who physically threatened anyone? why don't you tell the verbally abusive idiot to relax?

Oh my, another internet tough guy.
How do you feel about your Wolverines ducking a game against Hawaii? Guess you couldn't be talking trash about the Rainbow Warriors' schedule if it had started with a thrashing of Michigan in Ann Arbor, could you? Hey, if App State blistered you, imagine what Colt would have done!
