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.”
You can't blame Hawaii that the teams in their division sucked and no decent team wanted to play them. No one gave Boise State a shot to beat Oklahoma in the last Fiesta Bowl, but they did.
Hawaii took care of business and now is entittled to play for the Championship.
