+Immortalfire Georgia finished the regular season 4th. 2nd and 3rd place both lost their season ender/conference championship, and Georgia won their last game. Georgia had three teams jump over them, and dropped a rank. That was the only time in BCS history that a team had open spots in front of them in a bye week, and then dropped. Terrible bias.
+Immortalfire Ha ha...Georgia hasn't been to a BCS bowl since that fateful day. In 2007, USC crushed Michigan. I wasn't that impressed by Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. They won, but there weren't many outstanding plays. They kind of won by default.
Hawaii isn't as good as SEC teams, but think about it...they don't have as much money, as many people who want to go all the way out to Hawaii, and they don't have the best athletic program. Pretty damn impressive that they've gone that far though
What happened over there too? I thought Hawaii was making the fist baby steps of something special, but last I checked they finished last year 1-11. eek.
Gym All Day Bad coaching lol islands are limited. The players have so much potential off that island but the best get recruited to mainland school like Manti Teo and Marcus Mariota
The AD at the time was under fire for all of the improvements he DIDN'T make. Their facilities were god-awful, from their aging practice field to their run-down locker room (didn't have hot water OR soap in the showers), to their position rooms that were no more than desks and a chalkboard. They were a BCS team, yet were treated worse than an NAIA team. June left when all of those promises to improve their program weren't kept. Colt Brennan, even though his college playing days were over, went to bat for the team and the coaching staff, too. The AD (Herman Frazier) was fired a day after June left for SMU. Not to mention, Bess, Rivers and Grice-Mullen were insane "gets" for a team like Hawai'i. All super-talented dudes.
Troy Wullbrandt I think the BCS committee didn't want to get embarrassed again like they did with Utah vs. Pitt & Boise vs. Oklahoma, so they made sure the 2008 "BCS Buster" team was gonna get smashed. Hawaii should've been playing Illinois and USC should've been playing Georgia...
Kentucky Wildcat fan here and let me start off by saying in not a big football fan by any means. However this is by far my favorite college football game ever. I have watched this game on this youtube channel a few times now and I will probably watch it several more times. Its just that good.
an undefeated team is going to be put in a title game especially if theyre the only undefeated team the fact that after the game you can spout off about how bad they got beat is irrelevant.
In retrospect Hawaii and Oklahoma should have swapoed BCS bowl games. Hawaii should have played West Virginia in the Fiesta Bowl and Georgia/Oklahoma here
As a Hawaii fan I remember this game. I knew it would be a very tough task going in. Hawaii's schedule was really weak that year, we barely beat Boise, which didn't have their best year. Barely beat some other teams too. The biggest difference between the two teams was the speed and athleticism. Hawaii's O line looked liked they were standing still on some plays. Georgia just had too much speed for Hawaii.
They didn't play for title because they lost two games and didn't win division. USC blew their chances too. Craziest and best season in history. Year of the upset. Would've been great year for playoffs.
Why would it have been a good year for a playoff? Ohio State was ranked #1 against Louisiana State. Louisiana State was the SEC Champion. We didn't need a playoff.
In retrospect Hawaii and Oklahoma could have swapped BCS bowl games. Hawaii would have more sense to play the Fiesta Bowl and Georgia/Oklahoma would have been a cool matchup.
This was maybe the most fun game I ever went to. The Hawaii fans were, without except, really nice people. What doesn't stand out in this video is how long this game truly was, but I cherish every moment. I was sitting right behind the endzone that Colt got sack/fumbled at.
I miss those black jerseys. They were a 10 out of 10. I wish we'd just wear 'em for the sake of wearing them without the traditionalists getting their panties in a wad. No blackout or anything, just a different look.
In retrospect Hawaii and Oklahoma should have swapped BCS bowl games. Hawaii would have made more sense to play the Fiesta Bowl and Georgia/Oklahoma here
ITS NOT THAT HAWAII DIDN’T DESERVE TO BE IN A BCS BOWL ITS THE FACT THAT THEY SHOULDN’T OF BEEN MATCHED UP WITH GEORGIA I KNOW THEY WOULD PROBABLY BE THE UNDERDOGS TO ANYONE THEY PLAYED BUT STILL I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM HAVE A BETTER CHANCE EVEN AS A GEORGIA FAN

GA should have played USC that year & Hawaii should have played Illinois , would have been two much better games instead of the old Bowl tie bull shit , so u got two blow outs ...... & people wonder why no one is going to miss the BCS
The passing of Colt Brennan made me remember this game and how Hawaii had no business being on the field with Georgia. Kind of like Gonzaga and Baylor.
This game caused UGA to endure two more years of Willie Martinez’s horrible defensive scheme. I also like to think Hawaii’s #29 dirty cheap shots gave the good guys a little extra motivation.
Couldn't agree more... UGA was arguably the hottest team going into the bowl season and so was USC... I'm a die hard UH fan but when they announced we were playing UGA, I was like "Oh shit..." Could've thrown us a bone and had us play Illinois instead... When you look at the Non-BCS teams matchups in all the years they've gone to a BCS bowl, asides from Utah vs. Pitt, they've always drawn a really tough team... Only the Boise St. vs Oklahoma game backfired on the matchmakers...
They played abysmally. Brennan was benched because he couldn’t reach the end zone until the 4th quarter. You don’t bench your starter unless it’s a blowout in either direction. And Hawaii was talking mad shit about the SEC saying they’re overrated and UGA wasn’t ready for their style of offense. We shut them down quick. When will people learn that the SEC is CONSISTENTLY the best conference in the NCAA? What else do we have to prove to you bums? Every other conference is zero or one elite team and then the rest of the conference. Hawaii played like ass. They played with pride and I respect that, but their mouths wrote a check that their ass couldn’t cash.
@@christopherfoote4643 and as far as using this game to put them in the spotlight, you’re sadly mistaken. Bowl games are in another category. Regular season games on the other hand... This game is rarely or never used in UGA greatest moments highlights. It’s just one of those games you look back and laugh cause the other guys came in with their ass on their shoulders thinking UGA was overrated and we blew them out.
@@christopherfoote4643 bro we will play them 22 times, once in each position players back yard, and beat them 22 times. If you really think Hawaii stands a chance against UGA. Especially now, I have some ocean front property in Nebraska for sale.
@@christopherfoote4643 and of course UGA intimidated Hawaii. We’re DAWGS. We BITE!! We wear red and black!! Our culture is to intimidate. Especially when a sorry ass team tries to talk shit all the way to a W. Hawaii had it coming. They had no businesses playing UGA and still don’t. Florida suffered a similar fate when they tried to talk trash when Tebow was still there and we intimidated them as well with excessive celebration.... TH-cam “UGA excessive celebration.” It’s what we do bro.
Dieahrd IRISH fan from Boston who was stationed in pearl Harbor from 2006-2014. My sub returned from a 6 month deployment in November 2007. A bucnh of us had season tickets to hawaii, since the stadium is a mile from base. We would give our friends on other subs tickets and they sold them for BIG BUCKS. That 2007 season was big for the state. EVERYONE was GLUED TO THE WARRIORS. Anyone with common sense expected Hawaii to get STOMPED. I laughed hysterically at the outcome.
Hawaii was a good team but Georgia was one of the best teams in the nation that year. They had some moments and fought hard but Georgia was to good and Hawaii had 7 penalties in first quarter and a half. And Brennan had 3 picks. There wasn’t many teams that would have beat Georgia that year.
Poor sportsmanship would been for UGA to hang 70 on Hawaii, which they could have done. UGA pulled most their starters to keep from beating Hawaii by even more. UGA had been totally disrespected by everyone heading into this game. Most of ESPN's analysts kept saying how Hawaii was going to throw the ball all over Georgia. If Hawaii didn't like it, they should've done something about it.
And Hawaii and Colt Brennan get ready to play their biggest game in franchise history as theres a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that’ll be a home run. And so that’ll make it a 4-0 ballgame. I don't know if I'm going to be putting on this headset again.
Also, if it wasn't for tie-ins or that stuff, you could have thrown #11 Arizona State into this spot instead. Personally, I'd have sent Missouri here. Something, ANYTHING, that would have made for a better game. Hawaii may have still lost, but it could have been a 41-34 type game. They probably don't stop Mendenhall, but Brennan couldn't have done any worse against Illinois' defense. We could have used this year's Big Six Bowl stuff we have for the non-playoff stuff in 2007. So many intriguing matchups that could have been with a different format.
My sister's high school was in a high school marching band showcase for this game. I watched part of this game because I was in the process of applying for a Master's degree in Classical Studies at Georgia when this game was being played ... I was accepted and chose Georgia over Kentucky, who also admitted me.
Hawaii was clearly scared to play on the big stage. The first two plays showed just how shook they were. Playing an easy schedule did them no favors when it came to this game, and it clearly showed in their performance.
isaiahagent u Yes, 12-0 against such power house programs as San Jose State, Louisiana Tech, UNLV, Fresno State, and Nevada. Their toughest opponent was Boise State who finished the year with three losses.
The game was played in Georgia's back yard (New Orleans) while Hawaii had to travel 4500 miles to the game. Had Georgia been given a week to prepare for game the outcome could have been different. Sure Georgia would have won but it would have been competitive.
NIKKA WTF GET CHO ASS OUT OF THE MF COMMENT SECTION CAUSE DAT SHIT IS MESSED UP ONG 🙄 YOU DONT EVEN UNDERSTAND HOW HARD IT IS TO GROW UP POOR BUT GUESS WHAT? EVEN THOUGH WE WERE POOR WE HAD WAY MORE FUN MEMORIES THAT WEVE EXPERIENCED AND GREW UP APPRECIATING EVERYTHING WE GOT YOU ASSHOLE
Georgia was the best team this year but, in true Richt fashion, lost to a bad South Carolina team and laid an egg against a mediocre Tennessee team. I've always felt like they would have beaten LSU in the SECCG and then cruised to the NC against that highly overrated Ohio State squad. One of the craziest seasons and it produced a national champion with probably the weakest resume of any in modern college football history.
Typical mark richt loses. When opposing fans made fun of Georgia during his tenure about being a constant disappointment I couldn’t even disagree with them.
I had a coworker from Hawaii bet me $100 that her state would win. For 2 weeks I said I don’t want to take your money. She finally talked enough shit that I took the bet. I declined her money but made her bring me home cooked lunches for a week.
Yeah Bama tossed Georgia's salad that game but they're still really good looking alternates and UGA still had a 2-1 record with them. They could have worn any jersey against Alabama that year and still would have gotten their asses kicked.
I'm from hawaii and I love my warriors, but as much as it hurts me to say this, hawaii should not have been in the sugar bowl with this monster of a team being Georgia, hawaii had the weakest undefeated streak maybe of all time, being that all the teams they beat were mostly unranked and average teams, it was painful to watch them get destroyed like they did, but maybe other teams can learn from this disaster, just because your undefeated doesn't mean you belong playing against the best.
Colt Brennan saw a big difference from having 8-10 seconds in the pocket compared to playing a Georgia defense where he only had 3-4 seconds in the pocket.
I'm referring to a game played in 2008 where Alabama beat Georgia by a lot when Georgia last wore the black jersey not the 2012 game where both teams played fantastic. My point was it wouldn't have mattered what they wore in 08 cause Alabama was much better in that particular season although Georgia is going to be one of the up and coming nat. title teams in 2013. Same with A&M.
I remember mark may and 32% of the country picked Hawaii to win this game. Very disrespectful if you ask me. Georgia would never lose to a team like Hawaii, especially in a year where they should’ve played for the National Title.
Funny part is a lot of "experts " said UGA could not keep up with this offense! Sounds like the Rose Bowl against Oklahoma huh? We know how both ended!
Funny how UGA wasnt supposed to be able to hang in this game because of Hawaii's passing game. To be fair, Georgia had a great team this year. But it was fun to see them prove all the haters wrong.
Gooner Caleb Uh yeah they talked about that but Georgia was still a heavy favorite. Look up the odds on the game. Georgia is a two touchdown favorite and 70% of ESPN viewers picked Georgia to win in a poll.
And then he complains about us going for it on 4th down. The alternative is to kick a field goal, and guarantee the score gets worse than it already is.
Peak of the Rainbow Warriors. After this the WAC collapsed and UH had to downgade to the Big West for all sports apart from FB, and now Aloha Stadium is toast and the Bows are stuck playing in a glorified practice field thats almost a 3rd of the previous stadium's capacity. No longer does the NFL Pro Bowl play in Hawaii anymore... New Aloha Stadium cannot come soon enough, and perhaps for the program an invite to a resuscitated Pac-2?
That doesn't make any sense. Are you talking about the year LSU/Bama played in 2012? Both teams were basically undefeated and LSU beat UGA in the SEC championship. If you're talking the year UGA played Hawaii, I think it should have been UGA vs. Ohio State. UGA lost early to Tennessee, and didn't lose a game the rest of the year if I'm not mistaken. They didn't get a chance to play in the SEC championship because of that loss, but they were the better team at the end of the year.
When bowl tie-ins attack. If you merely had these teams and the Rose Bowl picks play each other, we'd have gotten better games. I'm not saying Hawaii beats Illinois, but it would have been a LOT different.
Side caster said it pretty well any loss would have eliminated Hawaii. They were admolitted because they earned it by beating everyone. Fresno St had a good team. Brennan had a concussion.
+NCISfanatic21 How did Georgia get into a BCS bowl in 2007? Better question would be: when will they ever get back to a BCS bowl? Both defense and offense got Hawaii into the game. It's a shame respect isn't given from money-grubbing conferences and fans.
As a Dawg fan I would like to send my condolences to the Brennan Family and the University of Hawaii.#RIP Colt Brennan🕊️🙏🏿#LEGEND#15🌈💪🏿

Is your mane Sean Moloney? Or bologna? Not only did they have a chance they played pretty decent. June Jones is an NFL coach.

If Hawaii didn't like it, they should've done something about it.
And Hawaii and Colt Brennan get ready to play their biggest game in franchise history as theres a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that’ll be a home run. And so that’ll make it a 4-0 ballgame. I don't know if I'm going to be putting on this headset again.
Do you have the Georgia/Arizona State game from 2008 in Tempe?
Also, if it wasn't for tie-ins or that stuff, you could have thrown #11 Arizona State into this spot instead. Personally, I'd have sent Missouri here. Something, ANYTHING, that would have made for a better game.
Hawaii may have still lost, but it could have been a 41-34 type game. They probably don't stop Mendenhall, but Brennan couldn't have done any worse against Illinois' defense.
We could have used this year's Big Six Bowl stuff we have for the non-playoff stuff in 2007. So many intriguing matchups that could have been with a different format.
My sister's high school was in a high school marching band showcase for this game. I watched part of this game because I was in the process of applying for a Master's degree in Classical Studies at Georgia when this game was being played ... I was accepted and chose Georgia over Kentucky, who also admitted me.
D. Ruesch, my thoughts exactly.
How's bragging camp going?
@ PRSONMIKE ///// Thank you for this
Really enjoyed this video!
Damn Brennan's throwing motion was so slick.
Hawaii was clearly scared to play on the big stage. The first two plays showed just how shook they were. Playing an easy schedule did them no favors when it came to this game, and it clearly showed in their performance.
They weren't scared they were overmatched
@@Jboy19916 They we’re scared the moment they realized they were overmatched😅
I Represent Hawaii but i am pretty happy they made it to the SUGAR BOWL so people that love Hawaii BE HAPPY They Made it!!!! :-)
That day Georgia was the best team in the country.
Matthew Stafford's reward? Getting to play for the NFL equivalent of Hawaii!!
You mean, *SUPER BOWL CHAMPION* “Matthew Stafford”? 😅
1:38:39 - Number 97 has had enough.
Thank you for this🤣🤣🤣
15:34 Moreno - Touchdown Georgia!
UGA was just too big and physical for poor little Hawaii
No it should have been close after all before this game Hawaii's record was 12-0 and Georgia had 10-2
isaiahagent u Yes, 12-0 against such power house programs as San Jose State, Louisiana Tech, UNLV, Fresno State, and Nevada. Their toughest opponent was Boise State who finished the year with three losses.
+saldiven2009
Hawaii's toughest opponent would be any one of its islands high school programs.
The game was played in Georgia's back yard (New Orleans) while Hawaii had to travel 4500 miles to the game. Had Georgia been given a week to prepare for game the outcome could have been different. Sure Georgia would have won but it would have been competitive.
NIKKA WTF GET CHO ASS OUT OF THE MF COMMENT SECTION CAUSE DAT SHIT IS MESSED UP ONG 🙄 YOU DONT EVEN UNDERSTAND HOW HARD IT IS TO GROW UP POOR BUT GUESS WHAT? EVEN THOUGH WE WERE POOR WE HAD WAY MORE FUN MEMORIES THAT WEVE EXPERIENCED AND GREW UP APPRECIATING EVERYTHING WE GOT YOU ASSHOLE
Georgia was the best team this year but, in true Richt fashion, lost to a bad South Carolina team and laid an egg against a mediocre Tennessee team. I've always felt like they would have beaten LSU in the SECCG and then cruised to the NC against that highly overrated Ohio State squad. One of the craziest seasons and it produced a national champion with probably the weakest resume of any in modern college football history.
Typical mark richt loses. When opposing fans made fun of Georgia during his tenure about being a constant disappointment I couldn’t even disagree with them.
I had a coworker from Hawaii bet me $100 that her state would win. For 2 weeks I said I don’t want to take your money. She finally talked enough shit that I took the bet. I declined her money but made her bring me home cooked lunches for a week.
RIP Colt Brennan
Both team’s uniforms were baller
Respect to the Colt Brennan years
Super. Have fun at your leisure.
Dude that hit on the punt was dirty you’d be out in a second nowadays
Best game a Willie Martinez Defense ever played....
You are right. but remember that Boise state coach has the best winning percentage out of coaches with 5 or more years of experience.he is 84-8
Yeah Bama tossed Georgia's salad that game but they're still really good looking alternates and UGA still had a 2-1 record with them. They could have worn any jersey against Alabama that year and still would have gotten their asses kicked.
I'm from hawaii and I love my warriors, but as much as it hurts me to say this, hawaii should not have been in the sugar bowl with this monster of a team being Georgia, hawaii had the weakest undefeated streak maybe of all time, being that all the teams they beat were mostly unranked and average teams, it was painful to watch them get destroyed like they did, but maybe other teams can learn from this disaster, just because your undefeated doesn't mean you belong playing against the best.
hawaii deserved a bowl game. but uga shoulda played for it all. no knock on hawaii they just ran into us at the wrong time
+xMtF54x it will
always be a wrong time for Hawaii to run into Georgia
The WAC was 2-0 in BCS bowl games before this. I don’t think is was crazy to put them in this game.
Colt Brennan saw a big difference from having 8-10 seconds in the pocket compared to playing a Georgia defense where he only had 3-4 seconds in the pocket.
You mean like every other QB in the world that has ever played the game.
I'm referring to a game played in 2008 where Alabama beat Georgia by a lot when Georgia last wore the black jersey not the 2012 game where both teams played fantastic. My point was it wouldn't have mattered what they wore in 08 cause Alabama was much better in that particular season although Georgia is going to be one of the up and coming nat. title teams in 2013. Same with A&M.
I remember mark may and 32% of the country picked Hawaii to win this game. Very disrespectful if you ask me. Georgia would never lose to a team like Hawaii, especially in a year where they should’ve played for the National Title.
RjD Bass a 2 loss team won a title that year.
did you see the Alabama UGA game where they wore them?
We did betta den tcu 2023 Boiz 🤙🏾
Am I just hearing things, or did the announcer, at 1:19:00 say "First down for the gators". Please tell me Im wrong.
... and both those teams play in the Securities and Exchange Commission.
I don't even get how that guy got that wrong
that's like right after looking at uga too
Hawaii had absolutely no business being in the same building as UGA
They got placed in the wrong BCS game. Hawaii should have been in the Fiesta Bowl vs West Virginia and Oklahoma should have played Georgia here.
Funny part is a lot of "experts " said UGA could not keep up with this offense! Sounds like the Rose Bowl against Oklahoma huh? We know how both ended!
kansas, lsu, ohio state, mizzou, oklahoma?
Hawaii made it to the Sugar Bowl?
WOW all I can say is Hawaii welcome to SEC football
I would definately agree with that
Exactly.
This Georgia team would have beat the piss outta LSU, Southern Cal, and OSU...it would have gotten seriously out of hand!
If only they had beaten Tennessee
Hawaii actually had 2 or 3 1st and 2nd rounders on this team. davo bess is the only current starter i think
Funny how UGA wasnt supposed to be able to hang in this game because of Hawaii's passing game. To be fair, Georgia had a great team this year. But it was fun to see them prove all the haters wrong.
Hawa'ii was the underdog in this game.
youre crazy man, ESPN and everyone else was slobin on Colt Brennan's knob and talking about how UGA didnt have any pass defense.
Gooner Caleb Uh yeah they talked about that but Georgia was still a heavy favorite. Look up the odds on the game. Georgia is a two touchdown favorite and 70% of ESPN viewers picked Georgia to win in a poll.
Cryofax closing odds for UGA was -8
Are you seriously trying to say Georgia was the underdog ? Lol
1:24:00
And then he complains about us going for it on 4th down. The alternative is to kick a field goal, and guarantee the score gets worse than it already is.
Our defense really came on strong the last 4 or 5 games of that season. SORRY Willie Martinez, hello Todd Grantham GoDawgs! SicEm!
Georgia would have beaten anyone in bowl season that year. Two early losses and then off to the races.
Peak of the Rainbow Warriors. After this the WAC collapsed and UH had to downgade to the Big West for all sports apart from FB, and now Aloha Stadium is toast and the Bows are stuck playing in a glorified practice field thats almost a 3rd of the previous stadium's capacity. No longer does the NFL Pro Bowl play in Hawaii anymore... New Aloha Stadium cannot come soon enough, and perhaps for the program an invite to a resuscitated Pac-2?
Rip colt brennan
That doesn't make any sense. Are you talking about the year LSU/Bama played in 2012? Both teams were basically undefeated and LSU beat UGA in the SEC championship. If you're talking the year UGA played Hawaii, I think it should have been UGA vs. Ohio State. UGA lost early to Tennessee, and didn't lose a game the rest of the year if I'm not mistaken. They didn't get a chance to play in the SEC championship because of that loss, but they were the better team at the end of the year.
When bowl tie-ins attack.
If you merely had these teams and the Rose Bowl picks play each other, we'd have gotten better games.
I'm not saying Hawaii beats Illinois, but it would have been a LOT different.
Side caster said it pretty well any loss would have eliminated Hawaii. They were admolitted because they earned it by beating everyone. Fresno St had a good team. Brennan had a concussion.
Props to u. U are a classy fan. Yeah we did outmach u but yall played a pissed off team
What is this game name?
How did Hawaii get in a BCS bowl?
Offense-simple as that.
+NCISfanatic21 Your guess is as good as mine.
+MarsRacingNetwork Pretty solid answer you muse be right
+NCISfanatic21 How did Georgia get into a BCS bowl in 2007? Better question would be: when will they ever get back to a BCS bowl? Both defense and offense got Hawaii into the game. It's a shame respect isn't given from money-grubbing conferences and fans.
+uluabeach first off Hawii hasn't made a bowl game in years !
I'm here!
