Still No Ka Oi in our hearts. Mahalo nui loa to the University of Hawai'i football team for an unforgettable season. You've united all of Hawai'i, given us something to look forward to and cheer for and made us proud. This team will always be special. 2007 WAC Champs. 12-0 Perfect Regular Season. Colt Brennan Heisman Trophy Finalist. Invitation to the (BCS) Sugar Bowl.
Today on College Gameday, Lee Corso picked Hawai'i in the upset 35-31. Even Corso believes!

Thanks George for hooking me up.
Hawaii's record-breaking QB Colt Brennan has been invited by the Downtown Athletic Club of New York as a 2007 Heisman Trophy Finalist as reported by the Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Colt Brennan, QB, Hawaii, senior
Once again, Brennan has put up eye-popping passing stats, completing 71 percent of his passes for 4,174 yards for the nation's top-ranked scoring offense (46 ppg). The 6-foot-3 senior is also second in total offense (to Texas Tech's Graham Harrell) and third in passing efficiency. Brennan's numbers actually are down a bit from last season, but his team is unbeaten and no other QB can make that claim.
Heisman moment: Brennan was on fire against Washington on national television last Saturday, completing 42 of 50 passes [TypeD: R U Serious? 84%!!! and a passer rating of 191.2!] as he led UH back from a 21-point deficit, capped by his game-winning 5-yard slant pass to Ryan Grice-Mullen with 44 seconds left.
Why he will win the Heisman: In a year where everyone lost, Hawaii didn't, and without Brennan being nearly perfect last week, the Warriors surely would've stumbled, too.
Why he won't win the Heisman: Hawaii's schedule was incredibly soft. The team probably didn't play a top 75 caliber opponent until November. And, as great as Brennan's stats are, Texas Tech's Graham Harrell's are even better this season -- and his team did beat Oklahoma.
