this games a joke
Hawaii wins this.
Notre Dame snowed in and late into hawaii.
3 days to prepare after weeks of studying and exams
going to Hawaii for a little vacation.
Hawaii pumped up to beat a good school even though independent.
Notre Dame invited only because they are notre dame
Notre Dame hasnt show me anything all year but a disfunctional squad.
they are 6-6 and hawaii is playing at home
This isnt georgia they are playing this year folks!!!

1909 - The College of Hawaii "Fighting Deans" won their first game, 95-5. 
Too bad they were playing a high school team.
1920 - After 11 years, they finally play another college, losing 14–0 to
Nevada on Christmas Day.
1922 - Hawaii defeats its first collegiate opponent, beating Pomona 25–6 on
Christmas Day.
1923 - A rainbow appears after Hawaii upsets Oregon State, 7–0. The
nicknames "Rainbows" and Rainbow Warriors" are still used.
1924–25 - The Rainbows complete back-to-back undefeated seasons. 
1934 brings another undefeated season.
1942 - 1945 Football is canceled as students help patrol beaches against
spies.
1946 - Hawaii resumes football and joins the NCAA.
1954- Nebraska beats the pineapples out of the Warriors with a 50-0
victory.
1955 - The Warriors travel to Nebraska, handing them a 6-0 loss, shucking
their corn in one of the greatest upsets in football history.
1968 - 1974 UH won 67 percent of its games without suffering a losing
season. 
1973 - It's the biggest upset in school history, defeating Washington 10–7 in
front of 52,500 in Seattle. The Huskies were favored to beat Hawaii by as
many as 50 pineapples, I mean, points.
1989 - Hawaii loses its first bowl game.
1992 - Hawaii wins its first bowl game and finishes the season ranked #20.
1996-1998 - Hawaii's new coach takes them 5-32 before being fired after
losing every game in 1998. It is not true that he serves as an inspiration to
Charlie Weiss.
1999 - The best single-season turn-around in NCAA history, and they even
won a bowl game.
2006 - Quarterback Colt Brennan sets NCAA single-season records for
touchdown passes (58) and passer efficiency rating (252.96). 
2007 - The only undefeated football team that year, they get blown out in
their bowl game. Ranked #10 going in, they were #19 after the bowl game.
2008 - They face Notre Dame in the Hawaii Bowl.

You forgot to mention the two times that ND visited the Warriors before this game.......both were wins.

ND and the under here guys.......and Vince.....I love the passion brutha!!! Love it!!!  That's what college ball is all about.  And the Irish will be back.......maybe not under Charlie........but I walk that campus a couple time a week for business and it is truely a magical place.  With Brian Smith back at outside linebacker and Micheal Floyd at WR for the first time since the Boston College game when they got hurt.......look out.  Jimmy didn't look good when teams didn't have to defend both those burners and the TE at the end of the season........and Smith is a serious LB and makes Maurice Crum mutch better at the other LB when he is out there.  Take the Irish and the under......because thier defense if much better than most think.

WR Floyd is back for ND, which will help.  Offensive Co-ord Haywood is a lame duck after taking the Miami O job.  I'd expect more abysmal play calling this game.
 
Hawaii had total control vs Cincy until they imploded late and Cincy is A LOT better than ND.
 
Gotta go with the the 'Bows.

Hawaii.. better be more diciplined in this game than they were when they played my UC Bearcats... Hawaii must have had atleast 4-5 personal foul penalties against them, and let UC back into game...
 
still leaning on Hawaii though

Kinda reminds of the Wake Navy game. Even though it was closer than the score indicated , WF could have named the score if they wanted to because of superior athletes and more battle proven. That being said, Paradise has a way of lulling ANY team to sleep. We need to find out if ND is there to play!BOL to us all

My friend Irisheyez correctly points out that the only other two times that they played, Notre Dame beat Hawaii. But both games occurred so long ago that no players from either team will be in tomorrow's game.

Good research, though, Buddy.

Irish try to end record 9-game bowl skid in Hawaii
By JAYMES SONG, AP Sports Writer

HONOLULU (AP)—It’s come to this for Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis: He needs a
victory to have a merry Christmas—and a winning record.

“When I’m sitting here on Christmas Eve after the game with my wife and kid, waiting
for Santa and the sleigh to pull up, I want to have a smile on my face,” he said. “And I
won’t be the happiest camper if it goes the other way.”

Weis hasn’t had much to smile about this season, so a win over Hawaii in the Hawaii
Bowl on Wednesday night would certainly be welcome. Yes, the Fighting Irish are in the
postseason, but with a 6-6 record and losses in four of their last five games.

To make matters worse, Notre Dame has an NCAA-record nine-game bowl losing streak.
The Fighting Irish haven’t hoisted a postseason trophy since beating Texas A&M in the
Cotton Bowl after the 1993 season.

“Breaking our bowl streak, that’s very, very important,” tailback Armondo Allen said.
“That’s something we always talk about, starting a new trend. And we can start it right
here in Hawaii.”

Since Notre Dame’s last bowl win, 89 of 119 schools have won in the postseason. Hawaii
(7-6) even has four postseason victories in that period—all in the Aloha State.

Notre Dame also is trying avoid back-to-back losing seasons for the third time in 120
seasons. The first was in 1887 (0-1) and 1888 (1-2), and Gerry Faust’s final season in
1985 (5-6) and Lou Holtz’s first season in 1986 (5-6).

The Warriors, meanwhile, are simply trying to show they can beat a big-name program,
something they haven’t done all year.

A lot of "shoulds" and "ifs"....IF MY AUNT HAD BALLS SHE WOULD BE MY UNCLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bows gave up 29 or more 7 times this year.
ND gave up 29 or more 3 times this year.

I think the problem with ND is they're inability to score easily, but all things being equal the Bows defense will help that cause. Look at the disparity in SOS and I cannot see how so many people are writing ND off so easily.
 Maybe my age has got me in a pickle here because a few short yrs ago this would have been a joke game for ND, and throughout my first 30 yrs of watching football this would have been a -42 pt line ND. Am I giving ND too much credit here ?BOL to all of us

I like Hawaii here.  They are at home and Notre Dame just has been terrible.  This is a tough call.  How do you accurately compare these two teams?  Hawaii kept it close with Cinci but Cinci had a BCS bowl game clinched and was enjoying a vacation and still won the game.  How does the over look?  Seems like it makes sense.  I would be careful here and enjoy Christmas Eve!  Merry Christmas to you all and thanks for the great input!  Good luck on all the bowl games!
