Well, I can't claim the same as Hawaii made me quite a bit of money this year. Only their last two games, I got hurt by their play. Other than that, I still believe that they will bounce back strongly seeing what is ahead of them. Last week, they supposed to have lost the game. They were lucky, because the refs were sanctioned or suspended, or whatever it is they do to refs that screw up a call, costing a team a victory or at least a chance for a victory.
Everyone, including Coach Jones knows that they were lucky for the screw up last week.
This week is a big game for them and they need to win it to face Boise St. for the title. Those two games both Hawaii and Boise will be facing drastic climate changes which is surely going to affect them both. Hawaii this week having to play in cold and possible snow. Then Boise coming to Hawaii in Dec, and having to deal with the tropical heat and humidity, after months in the snow.
I agree with you that Boise St. would probably rip Hawaii if played today, as they are Hot right now. But Dec., and the elements, might sway back the advantage to the Warriors. Still, that game wont mean anything, if Hawaii loses on Sat. If that happens, then Hawaii will focus on beating Army and secure the 6th win for the Bowl eligibility. Then Alabama will be their important game. As Boise game, even if won, probably wont get them the Wac Championship. And beating Alabama will be worth more to them and their program.
Watch this game Wo168, as its outcome could make it easier for you to decipher Hawaii's motivation ,etc. for the remaining games. This could possibly help you to win back the money you lost on the Warriors. Can't guarantee this, but I hope this little tidbit of info. might help you out somehow. GL and Aloha. CC
