@pac12 @BroncoSports @CSURams @FSAthletics @GonzagaBulldogs @BeaverAthletics @GoAztecs @TxStateBobcats @USUAthletics @WSUCougars No Hawaii or UNLV, nor the 2 ACC teams on the Pacific. This is basically the Mountain West.

Oh, hello 2026. 😎 #HappyNewYear

@askewshades @BearInsider The time between the play ending and last shove was minuscule compared to the late hit on the Hawaii WR earlier in the game. The fight happened out of frustration at losing in the way they did.

@BearInsider The ball was literally still live, just embarrassing poor loser stuff Cmon

The shoves that ignited Hawaii Bowl brawl - Regardless of anyone's actions in the ensuing Hawaii Bowl brawl, this is what started it all - Hawaii cornerback Peter Manuma shoving 5-7/170 Cal receiver Quaron Adams to the turf from behind, then twice more once he gets to his feet.

@JMUGameday Or do something similar to college football in Japan where high performers move up a division and low ones move down the next season.

Hawaii (didn’t make MWC championship game) beat 2 ACC teams this year Don’t tell the G6 that we can’t compete with P4 teams Why should teams like Stanford, UCF, Cal, Syracuse, Northwestern be eligible for the CFP but JMU, Tulane, Boise State, and others shouldn’t be? FBS is FBS

@BlacktopBoiler Weaver averages 6 yds/pass with a long of 47 - he’s not someone Hawaii brings in only for “deep shots”. Hawaii could’ve also thrown short outs to shorten the FG as it was windy and Matsuzawa missed a 52 yarder earlier.

Some of the calls offensive and defensive coordinators make in crucial moments just baffle me. Like Hawaii and California there. I would love to know what’s going on in Californias DCs mind seeing Hawaii have no timeouts, In field goal range needing 30 yards and only 15 seconds left. They also bring in their back up QB who only takes deep shots. And he think it’s a good idea to have players press and leave gaps open over top. What’s he seeing there in that situation that I wasn’t seeing lol. Why do you not have the TD protected there with one shot. Astonishes me.

@EricSpracklen @RIGGEDFORVEGAS Stop whining, it’s Christmas.

@RIGGEDFORVEGAS Beyond disgusting rig job. They made it so obvious. The entire 2H was pure bs.

Most fixed game of year fitting it’s on Christmas Eve

@RIGGEDFORVEGAS Crybaby energy

@NewsatTwm @RedditCFB It’s just very niche. Only roughly 100 high schools in Japan play AF and it’s said 18k give or take play it in some capacity. Compared to soccer (7.5m), baseball (7.3m), vball (6.5m), it’s tiny, so less sponsors and coverage. UH’s Tokyo Toe going to the NFL would definitely help.

@barrettish_ @RedditCFB Understanding/awareness issue seems odd to me as AF is played in some high schools and seems v ingrained. Then you have a player such as Hawaii University's kicker this season "the Tokyo Toe" who it's said learned to kick via You Tube as if from a country with/o AF infrastructure

Congratulations to the Ritsumeikan Panthers (命館大学PANTHERS) for winning their second consecutive Koshien Bowl, pulling the upset win over the KG Fighters in the 80th Koshien Bowl to win Japan’s National Championship!🇯🇵🏈🏆

@NewsatTwm @RedditCFB I think that’s the reason, plus Japan did pretty well in international competition which helped boost rugby. Spectators probably vary but I also feel like rugby is on TV more. Interest and understanding of AF is also still quite low amongst general Japanese, unfortunately.

@barrettish_ @RedditCFB Thanks. I find it really hard to figure out (from very far away) which of rugby or AF is more popular in Japan. I guess rugby has the advantage of international competition, and hosted the World Cup, but I'm not sure all Japanese rugby internationals get 24,000 spectators.

@NewsatTwm @RedditCFB News says 24,000. That’s a good number, especially since rugby is more popular in Japan. sanspo.com/article/202512…

@RedditCFB Do you know the attendance? I saw there was 39,000 for university rugby championship in Japan last week and wondering how it compares.

@MoodysBooks @esjesjesj It’s American but one of treason

@esjesjesj No that’s purely American.

Like this one?

@TaylorWake1 @oregon__updates Saw a similarity with this and Bama and Saban I guess. Makes sense.

Dan Lanning is a SAVAGE: “They’re living off their history. Matt Leinart, he ain’t walking through there. Reggie Bush, he ain’t gonna show up.” “Understand something. Why are you wearing black? You’re going to a Trojan funeral.”

@HwnElectric Nice weather today ☀️

430p: ~1120 customers without power in the Hawaii Kai area. 1st responder en route. This outage is NOT PSPS or Public Safety Power Shutoff. Mahalo for your patience. #OahuOutage

@FBGreatMoments She might’ve known

Knucklehead play of the decade 💀

@Saveusall22 It’s control that matters. His hands weren’t fully on the ball until he was out of bounds - you can see the ball spin towards the right by watching the laces, and the end closest to him fishtails out. You can see the gaps between his hands and the ball: x.com/barrettish_/st…

YES HE WAS FUCKING ROBBED BOTH HANDS ARE ON THE FUCKING BALL

@prizmaaz @FirstDownMediaa His hands aren’t even fully on the ball yet and he’s out of the end zone so it’s not a TD robbed.

@FirstDownMediaa dawg that’s a TD

MADNESS RIGHT NOW! ! IS THIS A CATCH?? FSU GOT ROBBED OF A TOUCHDOWN #FSUvsVA #CFB

@JohnZ716 @Troli783534 @HawaiiFootball Your last 6 replies are all negativity. Hope your next 24 hours is better.

@Troli783534 @HawaiiFootball Yep can already tell Hawaii is completely outmatched . I bought into the fake hype.

The best entrance in football is back. #BRADDAHHOOD x #GoBows

@KcSmurthwaite Ching could potentially be expanded to ~22.5k for less. This is to entice new development w/o locals being a big priority, and existing infrastructure needs to be better maintained. When built out, it’s said to account for $30M annual net salary and 700 jobs, so only $42k avg pp.

I’ve gotten a few DMs on my thoughts about the New Aloha Stadium.🏟️ 🔘Sure, capacity could be higher, but I see areas for temporary bleachers or permanent expansions—easily. It looks like that’s already in the plans.🪑 🔘UH has had nothing for years. This is a WIN. This could have dragged on for years and put UH in a much more difficult spot… trust me. It’s not a championship, but it’s a big WIN.🏆 🔘In an age of decline in attendance at big stadiums + venues removing seats to add premium amenities… this is right on par with that standard. Id imagine (hope) for a large amount of amenities at NASED. 🔘 “Theres nothing wrong with a ticket that’s hard to come by.” | Revenue | However, Hawaii is one big family. It’s different there. I hope they don’t price out the amazing families + children hoping to see events. Flip side… great opportunities for marketing those assets!❤️

@FOS 22.5k, better expand the current Ching to its limits. More accessible for students, better environment.

Hawaii has approved plans to build a new Aloha Stadium. The state will contribute $400M for the new 22,500-seat home of Rainbow Warriors football, set to be completed in 2029.

@espn If this is actually about “best helmet”, throw in: Hawaii Maryland San Diego State

This is tough 🤔

@StarAdvertiser When I rode it, the train was pretty good but there’s nothing really around the stations. Obviously convenience and usefulness is key, so I was surprised to see a train but nothing built out around it.

The Honolulu city audit states: “Since its opening in July 2023, ridership has decreased 77 percent from 151,633 monthly rides to 85,460 rides in December 2023.” 808ne.ws/4kk1Hps
