The Game That Hawaii Beat Alabama (2003) 

You should do the Iron Bowl from this season. "The Iron Bowl that didn't Matter". Bama won 4 games that year, Auburn won 6

@@rileyblack7160 Auburn won 8 actually. After beating Bama, they beat Wisconsin in the Music City Bowl

You should do backups that changed teams with the best and the worst backups effects on teams

@@greyfox37 Oh yeah, forgot about that. But that Iron Bowl meant nothing that year

@Bill Finley You know what I meant, you pedantic turd

This is part of why they don't anymore.

FJ365E They only did it cause if I remember correctly, Alabama was banned from a bowl game for a year or two, so whoever was in charge of the schedule making thought it would be a good idea play Hawaii in Hawaii to end the season as a “bowl” game.

If you look more objectively in the last 10 years Bama has played regular season games with Southern Cal, Wisconsin Penn State Clemson (not playoff or bowl games) West Virginia Florida State Louisville

Also Virginia Tech. None of these games were at home. All neutral site games for season openers.

Lastinline And how many of those were outside the southeast? For example against USC was a neutral site game at AT&T Stadium.

those were samoan last names mostly.

Lae ze ~fell off the sofa, for the scoop and scoooooore.

For 7 bucks

Think of how little ice cream there was in it

Awesome

Mr Smith they been winning w/o Hawaii players so that don’t make sense

Well they are still winning with a Hawaii QB 😆

Ari Alo Ole Miss had a Hawaii QB and kept losing🤪

Fred Trump oh fr? Then where is he now? 🤪

@@soflo5214 wow impressive to QBs from the tiny Island of Hawaii starting for SEC schools nice

At least they still have that ringer for the espn fantasy football notifications

GBO 06 everybody does besides bama fans

We all do

GBO 06 Same. go vols

When Alabama didn’t get shoehorned into the BCS and CFP that is when I didn’t mind them winning but Im staring to lose respect for Alabama However seeing this Alabama football was nice to see as a non Alabama fan but my dad talked about how good they were in the 60s and 70s with bear Bryant.

GBO 06 they still have a football team

Pete Pyeatt I was 6

I was at my grandmother's house eating leftovers from Thanksgiving 🦃 🎃

Actually Alabama was the only SEC team that I respected. I know the hype behind the SEC and how tough their conference schedule is, but they are one of the few that is not afraid to travel OUTSIDE of their state to play an out of conference opponent. They always schedule the easy teams they can beat so that they could have higher rankings and more wins. Like a lot of Big 10, Big 12 teams wouldn't travel outside of their homes to go elsewhere, I was impressed with how many fans that follow their teams and make the trip over here. They were nice fans and weren't obnoxious like many other teams who thinks that they are better than you. Even the games at Alabama were classy fans. I'm glad that Tua was able to play for you guys. Oh well, now UH has to try to rebuild as it will be hard as we cannot recruit the 3,4 or 5 star recruits like most major colleges can.

App St upset Michigan at The Big House. Still, tho Hawaii football/JJ on The Rise!

Because back then Alabama was under probation, had limited scholarships and a 2 year bowl ban. This game was scheduled as a substitute bowl game. Not really much of an upset, Alabama was very bad then.

because Hawaii wasn't a bad team and Alabama wasn't in their prime yet

Bama went 4-8

yep still producing!!! Mariota , Tua, Elam, and many others.

@@92548dannyt And also in fighting as well, Max Holloway

matthew tant the year after he left...

I was at that game but wasn't it in '87? I believe it was Al " The Samoan Sackman" Noga's final game. Didn't Arkansas' kicker boot a kickoff through the uprights?

@@stevencardenas6094 Yes, '87. Noga was a beast. Arkansas had their hands full. My girlfriend at the time bought our tickets as a gift and even made me a shirt that was half Hawaii colors and half Arkansas red. And the stadium was actually half full, if I remember correctly. Good crowd.

@@PintoSixty Imagining your shirt must looked pretty christmassy... very nice.

@@stevencardenas6094 Mele Kalikimarkansas

Hawaii should have gone to 10-4 after beating bama. How'd they finish 9-5?

How were they 9-4 & "punched their ticket to the Hawaii Bowl" as you said, win the Hawaii Bowl & finish 9-5 ??

German Equihua Bama was bowl banned if remember correctly.

Lmfao Alabama was under probation and was banned from bowls in 02 and 03. Learn wtf you’re talking about before speaking.

Yes, Whieldon was the backup QB......funny though, he had better pro-rated numbers than Timmy that year.

You had the right idea. Was better watching the late night telecast on K5 with Jim Leahey.

joevonloser00 miss this man.

PSC Highlights ulm vs Lafayette

PSC Highlights LSU vs Arkansas 2013?

TheSportsGamer nah I don’t mean a specific game, I just wanna know what you guys think the best rivalry in each state is. So if I was asking about Florida, the answers could be Florida vs Florida State, Florida State vs Miami, UCF vs USF, etc.

PSC Highlights Arkansas and Arkansas state have never played for some reason

PSC Highlights got it

For sure braddah

Go Big Red!

BYU, Utah, USC, and all the PAC 10 were recruiting Polynesians. Now the SEC was a different story. Only Jesse Mahelona and later on Masoli were able to breakthrough there

It also had an Oklahoma State University plane crash earlier that day and should not took place. OKLAHOMA STATE would have won the national title that year

@@notyourpuppet5975 You make a good argument and yeah OKST would have at least have been in the title game. Also I understand for obvious reasons why one would suggest that game to not be played.

It still does lol

Funny the just did last week when they beat Arizona on CBS. They have at least 3 games every year nationally televised on ESPN or on other major networks.

Last night's game was on ESPN2 and Hawai'i beat Nevada in Reno 54-3.

Never forget that UCF beat them in 2000.

Or Jacksonville St.

I think they did Jack st already

@@Hutchdh I said the game against Mercer. I know he posted the Jacksonville State game already.

@@Hutchdh Well that game is a treat and another reason why Gus having a job is a joke. The best high school coach in college football.

Huh you must joking those Hawaiian and especially Somoan players were hell bigger I was at the game

@Mico Berta the probation was for the 2002 and 2003 seasons. Both games were scheduled because of the bowl ban. Its actually the reason there is a Bowl game in Hawaii now. They realized how well teams would travel because, you know, Hawaii lol.

“WSU coaches didn't want to play University of Washington in Pullman on Nov. 23” They would also have to get around NFL scheduling to play that day. November 23, 2003 and December 7, 2003 were both Sundays.

Goon Squad did they win their bowl game or no? I’m curious

@@TLR_MinkxVenom yes

@@zhlis7256 Oh nice Congrats to the Rainbow Warriors.

They 4-1 so far this season not bad

I'm sure someone posted a video of unranked Texas A&M beating #3 Auburn on the road on November 8, 2014. There's also unranked Georgia beating #9 Auburn on November 12, 2016. Auburn had about an 80% chance to win that game according to the FPI, and they were favored by about ten points.

Audel LaRoque Nonsense. They were legit in 2006 with Colt Brennen and Nate Ilowa (sp?) They went 10-3 and beat the crap out of Arizona State in the Hawaii bowl. Went undefeated the next season and lost big to a really talented Georgia squad. Your receivers were top notch that year. Devon Bess comes to mind.

And the only time they ever will

Jonathan Dravis Davone Bess, Jason Rivers, and Ryan Grice-Mullens all went over 1000 yards that season. CJ Hawthorne put up numbers as well. I was shocked not a single one of them were able to have a productive NFL career.

Davin Bess played for the dolphins for years.

54-3 9/28/19

@@TheHaloRed yup. RIP the Wolfpack

Dead Bird Timmy we don’t need to do it again 😂 it’s in the history books buddy 😂HAWAII BEAT BAMA 💯

You mean like travelling to Texas to plat aTm?

Creepy Stares they play in other states all the time dumb ass.

Let me pull out the pages and glue them together to find something that can be the reason why Alabama is good. Oh, maybe this stat can be it!

@@stanleymyrick4068 Alabama is great. Historically great. They should travel the country and prove it. The crowds would be awesome.

Hawaii would never beat Alabama today. It would be an absolute slaughter.

The point is, that no team is unbeatable...just ask Michigan about App. St and Florida about Ga. Souhern. Doesn't matter if you were good or bad, a school like Hawii shouldn't be able to hang with a school like Alabama

@@jamesgivens9997 sure, look at where they got their QB.

Still, a WAC team with 2 and 3 star recruits beat a SEC team with 4 and 5 star recruits.

We werent nothin back then now were all called bandwagon just cause we win

This was the 2nd year of their bowl ban and they didn't have a great recruiting class because of this. Also, they took a trip to Hawaii to play them the year prior as their season finale. So I guess they felt that if they aren't going to a bowl game, they might as well play a game in a stadium that host a bowl game.

Shut the fuck up you moron. Bama beats everyone, and beats the shit out of then at that. Wisconsin, Michigan, USC, Texas, Penn State, and yes Clemson too. Fuck outta here with your ignorant bullshit.

False. Tha best conference is without a doubt is tha SEC but tha whole southern region has tha best teams by far so SEC schools don't have to travel far to play tha best. Out of tha las 20 yrs when tha SEC didn't win tha NC it was still a southern team except for maybe 1 yr

11/19/2016. I wrote in my journal that day, “Texas’ football team lost to Kansas. Texas were favored by 23. No doubt exists in my mind that Charlie Strong is out at Texas.”

remember when Bama lost 2 Utah in a BSC game

THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU COME TO ORANGE MOUND MESSING WITH THE TIGGS☆

That's the same stadium where the Pro Bowl was played for many years.

It shows every team has bad seasons b4 becoming dominant again

Nick Saban wasn't the coach yet. Mike Shula was after Mike Price got fired.

Dry Erase Sports Ironically, Saban won his first championship this year, at LSU.

NOT true. Hawaii played @ Alabama in 2006. They lost, but not by much.

@@JohnSmith-hj9fd Yes, and Colt Brennan was the QB. RIP Colt.

@@JohnSmith-hj9fd Yup, I remember that game in Tuscaloosa. Hawaii had the potential game tying drive towards the end, but lost 25-17.

Andrew Smith Ugh. Please no. Brett Rypien is still throwing interceptions in that game.

@@jonathandravis6013 I'm a Utah State fan so I just had to request it😂

Andrew Smith Jordon Love is back but the cupboard is otherwise bare this year? What are the expectations in Logan?

@@jonathandravis6013 Actually the cupboard isn't bare. Significant (NOTE the word "Significant") players from last year that We return: Jordan Love-QB Georald Bright-RB Jordan Nathan-WR Savon Scarcer-KR/WR (All-American last season) Carson Terrell-TE Tipa Galeai-LB David Woodward-LB(All-American last season) Shaq Bond-Secondary D.J. Williams-CB (Defensive MVP of the New Mexico Bowl last season) Plus we get transfers Siosi Mariner-WR who played a significant role at Utah last season. Riley Burt-RB who played a significant role at BYU when their starting RB's were out with injury last season. Could form another 2 headed beast in the backfield with Georald Bright after Darwin Thompson left for the NFL last season. Overall, despite a new coaching staff, expectations remain high for another good year. Not quite a NY6 type of year like last year but a good year nonetheless. When Gary Andersen was last at USU he lead us to an 11-2 season and almost beat Wisconsin on their home turf. I think Boise will take the Mountain Division again like they usually do but Utah State should at least challenge again. We do have a rough schedule to play though. We travel to Wake Forest and LSU along with conference road games at San Diego St. and Fresno St. Luckily, we get BYU and Boise St. at home this year. I would expect about an 8 win season with Losses to LSU, Wake, Boise St. and San Diego St. Possibly 7 wins even which would be a disappointment I don't see anything less than 7 wins. I do see us beating perennially overrated BYU as that is in Logan and we've beat them 2 years in a row. BYU plays a rough schedule to start the season and by the time they get to Logan in November they'll be pretty beat up. Sorry for the long explanation but there's all you need to know about Utah State this season.

Andrew Smith It’s not crazy to think you guys have a chance of knocking off Wake Forest. Overall it’s a tough schedule. Good luck this season (except against BSU)

Bama had a bowl ban so they scheduled the game to make up for not being able to go to a bowl.
