In retrospect Hawaii and Oklahoma should have swapped BCS bowl games. Hawaii would have more sense to play the Fiesta Bowl vs West Virginia and Georgia/Oklahoma would have been a cool matchup. Plus, it would have been a shorter flight, I think more Hawaii fans fly out to Arizona, and we could have had Colt Brennan vs Pat White/Steve Slaton. It would have felt more like a fair fight,
Big 12 champ was contractually obligated to go to the Fiesta bowl unless they were top 2 in the BCS rankings. And they didn't wanna have WVU vs UGA in the Sugar since that matchup and bowl game happened in 05 just two years prior... That left the Orange bowl as the only bowl available for WVU, which it would've been cool having them play a rival in VT. Then Kansas could've played UGA in the Sugar bowl and Hawaii playing Oklahoma in the Fiesta bowl. The problem there was Oklahoma played Boise in the Fiesta just one year prior and they didn't want to put a Non AQ team against the same team in b2b seasons. All that said, there was really no other option for Hawaii it was either Sugar bowl or no BCS bowl at all ...
I remember being in New Orleans for this game as a 17yo. Such a good time! Cafe Du Mond. Bourbon street; although at 17 idk what my parents were thinking... me and my brothers were wasted 😂 Hawaii fans were great sports both before and after the game. Great times! Good to be a Georgia Bulldawg!
This game is a great example for how a power 5 team might look dominate or unbeatable, but when they get matched up with sec team or the Ohio states, they get dominated.
I did not know Colt Brennan died earlier this year. What a tragic story after the accident. RIP Colt.
This night was a foot note in his fall from grace

W Virginia beat the crap out of OU though, so I think fans of that program wouldn't want that lol.
Yea it should’ve been WVU vs GA and OU vs HI
@@misterwhiskers2977 I think anyone would have beat the hell out of Hawaii that year. They were down 21-0 to the worst team in the pac 10.
or maybe they should have played Illinois. Since they got blown by usc in the rose bowl 49-17. USC and Georgia would’ve been a more exciting matchup.

RIP Colt yo
I came here for the play at 8:46.
Haha same!
Here after the Dawgs won back 2 back national championships. Rip Colt "Pistol Arm" Brennan 🙏😇💯
Tru. Respect
This game was not a fair fight.
Lol
It was like a 1st grade little brother trying to fight his 6th grade older brother.
@@kingbizzle1357 You mean 12th Grade Brother.
@@kingbizzle1357you mean his fresh out of jail brother
Imagine this game being played today. It would be 98-0😳
Yea maybe because they’re 2 entirely different teams from 17 years ago

You mean a group of five team
Hawaii thought they could play with the big boys. That’s cute.
The Hawaii team doctors took Brennan out of the game because he was taking such a beating from the Georgia defense.
Hawaii went up seven nothing first quarter 7 nothing
3-0 they didn't score a TD until the 4th quarter lol
Wtf are either one of yall talking about? Hawaii never led at all...
Colt Brennan's soul died on this night. His body took a little while to tag along.
I always felt this UGA team got robbed of the opportunity to play for the Natty this year. They even beat the Florida team that ended up going
The only time Georgia won a game wearing black lol!!!!! Remember when they wore it against Alabama.
Help and Coach Smart said we were wearing them to our own funeral 😂
What? We’re 5-1 wearing the black jersey’s. Beat auburn in 07, Hawaii in 07, ULL in 16, Miss State in 2020, and Cincinnati in 2020.
He's not Dead
Who lied to you?
@@kingbizzle1357 no he’s alive
@@johnwaffleh2p70 dude he’s dead
@@johnwaffleh2p70 colt brennan died last year

This was a bad mismatch. It looked like a high school team against a D-1 college team.
RIP Colt Brennan
