Saturday night's University of Hawai‘i Warriors football game against the University of Washington Huskies was the final regular season home game for 22 Warriors who are seniors. NFL-prospects Colt Brennan, Jason Rivers and Michael Lafaele were among the 22 players who took their last walk around Aloha Stadium as a UH Warrior.
With last night's 35-28 win over the Huskies, and a 12-0 regular season record, the Warriors await their bid for a Bowl Champioship (BCS) post-season bowl game in January 2008.
This was the scene after the festivities, where each of the 22 seniors were introduced to the crowd individually, as they made their final entrance to the Aloha Stadium Field Turf, and head coach June Jones plus other UH dignitaries presented each of the 22 seniors with a plaque, and many lei. Family and friends presented the players with even more lei, and fans sought autographs from the graduating seniors.
This has been a truly remarkable and memorable season for the Warriors, from the return of Colt Brennan to play his senior season, the oft-questioned game schedule, strong team unity with a faith in God, the WAC Championship, the perfect 12-0 season record, to a BCS bowl bid. The 2007 Warriors team were truly blessed from above.
As with last week's win over Boise State, it was a great feeling to be part of history working last night's game as part of the production crew for Aloha Stadium's JumboTron video screen.
Update 16:30: The Warriors finished with a #10 ranking in the BCS, and will face the #5 University of Georgia Bulldogs in the Allstate Sugar Bowl at the Louisiana SuperDome in New Orleans, LA on New Year's Day 2008.
