I have a bitter taste in my mouth
So tonight was supposed to be sweet, but wound up giving the people of Hawaii a bitter taste. We came into the game confident that we’ll give Georgia a run for its money, but alas, this was not to be the night. I’m not embarrassed at the score or that we lost. It would have been great if we won, but you know, the SEC is a tough conference and any team we could have played would have given us a real run for our money. Sure, I’ll admit we had a pretty easy schedule, but UH did have a couple of hard games on our schedule - in our comparison. And it’s not as if we’ve screwed anyone out of a bowl bid. Frankly, Georgia wasn’t pissed at us, but rather they were angry at the fact they were passed over for the BCS championship.
But anyways, went to the Sugar Bowl tonight and it was hella packed. Walked through security and got stopped because they thought the Sony Cybershot 717 camera was a video camera or a camera with a detachable lens. Uh, okay, so I take it out of the bag and show it to the lady at security. You look at it and tell me if it looks like it’s detachable. Well after a few minutes, I managed to get it passed security and found my seat. Sure, I had the 500 level seat, but it wasn’t that bad. It was REALLY good seating and using the 717 camera zoom, I think I got some good shots. I’ll post some video that I have from there on YouTube eventually.
But for now, the game was not even close, unfortunately. We did score a touchdown in the second half so that was rather refreshing. It’s alright though…first chance at a BCS game so we made some achievements. Sadly the score wound up being 41-10. Good job Warriors…thanks for a great season.
Update (1/2/2008): Perhaps fitting of the people of Hawaii, at the end of the game, the UH marching band led the ~15,000 contingent of UH fans and supporters in a rousing rendition of Hawai’i Ponoi and the playing of the UH alma mater. Truly a good way to cap off a GREAT season. Go Warriors!
