They dismissed signing UC in the Summer basically saying they REALLY wanted Syracuse but had to "settle" for UC. Of course they kissed our @sses when we brought our Top 15 ranking and BCS conference title and national exposure with us. They even indirectly blamed our old administration for their fans and players acting like thugs in 2002. I'm so glad UC tore their hearts out. I hope Notre Dame kicks the crap out of them.

What national exposure

The game was on ESPN2. ESPN/ESPN2 held Hawai'i's last two games open for telecasts (vs. Washington St., vs. Cincy). With WSU being so bad, the Cincy game was a logical choice to pick up.

As for the what CatsClaw inferred as a dissing of Cincy, I infer as a dissing of Syracuse. They wanted Syracuse because its so far down that they wanted, IMO, what they felt was an easy win. Settling for Cincinnati, again IMO, means they were settling for a competitive game.
