Is it time cut Hawaii loose?
Should they be kicked out of the WAC?
The good news: my family and I are now back home in California and had a GREAT 5 days in Hawaii. The bad news? Fights, alcohol, lax security, and thug fans have turned Aloha Stadium into what is likely the most horrible game day atmosphere in college football.
Author’s Note: The following article contains harsh language.

MOD EDIT: do NOT post full articles. It is a violation of the AUP.

RE: Is it time cut Hawaii loose?
Im having trouble with this post since Hawaii isn't in the WAC--nor is Fresno. That said, the behavior described sounds very similar to things I have heard from fans that attended past Hawaii Bowls.

RE: Is it time cut Hawaii loose?
Okay, how old is this article? If the writer is writing the WAC commish about this this can't be recent or he is not a very good sports writer or writer in general or even a good fan if he doesn't know what conference he's currently in.
EDIT: Okay guys, just clicked the link, this is from 2007.

They were at the time the complaint in the OP was written -- this is very old news, from 2007. No idea why this was posted here more than six years after the fact.

Isn't 2007 the year that Hawaii was undefeated? While it doesn't justify wild fan behavior it sure explains it.
Why'd you post this thread now, SuperFly?

Yeah, odd for a Cincy fan to post this so far after the fact.

I know that some Tulane fans had a very negative experience when we played there in 2002 and 2011.

FYI, Hawaii is now in the MW for football and Big West for Olympic sports.

It's a good thing Georgia put them in their place that year.

I know this article was posted on the UC 247 message board in a thread where somehow we had gotten on the topic of our first BCS year where we played at Hawaii to end the season. We were talking about how badly our fans were treated and this article was posted by someone for more evidence.
Still not sure I get the premise of posting it here with that title...

Ironic considering UGA fans are some of the worst out there.

Quote:The school adopted new rules a year ago in an effort to control some of the out-of-control behavior by fans who left tons of trash on the grounds. The breaking point came on Sept. 12, 2009, when workers collected from North Campus about 70 tons of garbage and mounds of tents, grills, coolers and chairs. That day, fans were witnessed urinating on public buildings and defecating outdoors.

My bad on the date. Was posted on a UC board, thought it was recent.
UC had a world class bad experience their years ago. So did Purdue.
