Because they have played schools that most high schools could beat. They also have an epic home field advantage with teams having to cross multiple time zones.

They have a SEC team like non-conference schedule without playing in the SEC

A horse racing analogy, the team is just like lava man. Can beat mediocre teams in haw, but make them go east and they tank....

It WAS one of the best games ever....at least the ending was. Something that I'll never forget.

the western athletic conference (WAC) overall is not a real good conference but they're games are famously fun to watch.

the lava man analogy is pretty good. when hawaii comes east it's usually only for conference games. thier non-conference games, teams always go to the island, usually at the end of the season. the warriors are famous for burning ranked teams that make the long trip at the end of the season.

hawaii has trouble getting good teams to come out there to play. #1- the expense. 2-the travel. 3- no coaches like to travel that far to face that crazy run-and-shoot offense and get beat!
