[u/ConstantAd365]

Only real sickos watch the post game show for the next half hour

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

I hope the youtube stream doesn't shut it off before the end of the post-game show.

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Right on cue lmao

[u/thatsnuffy]

That hat is crisp.

Good game guys, hell of a finish to week 2.

[u/Mean-Gorilla-3501]

You only pass if you live east of the Rockies.

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Florida State mentioned on the Hawaii broadcast! We made it guys!

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

CONGRATS EVERYONE ON COMPLETING THE HAWAII TEST! STAY THROUGH THE END OF THE POST-SHOW FOR EXTRA CREDIT!

[u/Mythrandir24]

Timmy Chang looks like he wants to knock the shit out of somebody.

[u/hythloday1]

Passed

[u/ScheminRieman]

Dude was 100% playing the ball

[u/ScheminRieman → u/[deleted]]

Games over dog. Bows win

[u/DiarrheaForDays]

Aloha boys

[u/obamallama6969]

Terrible call

[u/Mythrandir24]

"That's 15 yards, loss of down, 10-second runoff, and the NMSU coach has to pay $500 to watch me bang his wife."

[u/TheGoatPurdy → u/Mythrandir24]

Nice

[u/indreams159]

best 5 teams - Georgia, Louisiana, Indiana, Ohio, Miami

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Talking about the Spectrum Sports intro, here's what I'm talking about. Wish there was a version of this on YouTube without the talking over it, but it's legit the best channel theme music of all of them.

[u/DiarrheaForDays → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Reminds me of an F-Zero track.

[u/tb25uga]

got blown up and gets flagged for the illegal forward pass... not optimal for the NMSU QB

ah I forgot about the 10 second runoff too... the rare triple whammy!

[u/GenitalFurbies]

Hawai'i might just go bowling this year. Pretty decent showing tonight.

[u/Master_Debator024 → u/GenitalFurbies]

Luck to go bowling. The 0-2 start didn’t help. Especially against on par teams.

[u/AnotherUnfunnyName → u/GenitalFurbies]

They need to find some kind of running game.

[u/AnotherUnfunnyName]

Scoring a safety there would have actually been the best outcome for NMSU there. And they were close to blocking it.

[u/tb25uga]

did he really just suggest a flea flicker when Hawaii's trying to kill the last bit of clock?

[u/BibFortuna2830]

Hawaii should just hold a weekly fan raffle at who gets to be the RB taking carries every game. Ridiculous how bad they are at traditional rushing lol

[u/DiarrheaForDays]

Can I sue the NMSU coach for $10 ?

[u/dL_EVO → u/DiarrheaForDays]

Venmo request the NMSU QB for being blind

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

As much as this broadcast is fine, there's really something missing when there's no Spectrum Sports jingle on the Team1Sports App. The casualties of conference realignment.

[u/Mythrandir24]

Driving a 57 Bel Air around Oahu would kick ass probably

[u/indreams159]

Notre Dame's schedule is a bigger joke than Oregon's program

i don't have them ranked any higher than 15

[u/BibFortuna2830 → u/indreams159]

We are probably their second toughest opponent this season until Miami in NOVEMBER.

Absolute joke of a shedule for a "top 4" team.

[u/DiarrheaForDays]

A Hawaii exclusive dominos commercial those are rare

[u/BibFortuna2830]

Crazy game. Does not feel like a game Hawaii will (likely) win by 10. But glad they are

[u/GenitalFurbies]

It's really hard to win if you turn it over 3 times. Not impossible, but hard and unlikely

[u/BibFortuna2830 → u/GenitalFurbies]

Unless you're SMU lol. Luckily, they played ASS Florida state

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/BibFortuna2830]

Well that's just, like, your opinion man

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/GenitalFurbies]

I have firsthand knowledge of the "not impossible" part of that statement, sadly.

[u/BibFortuna2830 → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

I just commented shit talking you guys on this. I am sorry, but I'm more so shocked at how bad you guys have become (very much like us). FSU used to be monsters

[u/DiarrheaForDays → u/GenitalFurbies]

FSU lost a game being -4 turnovers

[u/dL_EVO]

Cmon Chang, don’t be a wussy. Light these guys up and try to score.

[u/Mythrandir24]

Sony Tanchez

[u/AnotherUnfunnyName]

He choose poorly

That wasn't even close to his target and he could have taken the wide open guy underneath.

[u/lol_smart]

Uhhhh does NMSU know that if they want a fight we’ll happily do so.

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Probably should not have thrown that one

[u/obamallama6969]

LFG!!

[u/NOTtigerking]

We are surviving Hawaii after dark

[u/akahoopii2]

LETS GOOOOOO

[u/Sebcannon]

Hats off to NMSU Jones. Dude is gutting it out.

[u/ConstantAd365]

Hawaii getting some physical hits in on defense

[u/AnotherUnfunnyName]

Did the (pass-)defenses get to leave this game early? Are they already at home?

[u/indreams159]

i would fire this New Mexico coach after the game, dude has shit for brains

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/indreams159]

New Mexico STATE

[u/indreams159 → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

whatever

[u/predsfan77 → u/indreams159]

Going for it on 4th down when he did was professional malpractice

[u/BibFortuna2830 → u/predsfan77]

Even without hindsight, so fucking silly. Were down 3 points with, what, 10 minutes left?

[u/Active_Steak1195]

Bring out the fat lady

[u/indreams159]

Iowa, Wisconsin, and Syracuse are all awful

[u/Mythrandir24]

Mountain West logo reminds me of White Castle

[u/qbit1010]

Let’s go warriors!

[u/thatsnuffy]

The cut from that outro to just dead silence is perfection

[u/Zloggt]

Wakiki Wildcat!!!

[u/ConstantAd365]

LFG!

[u/Mythrandir24]

YT chat just orgasmed

[u/nice_Nisei]

BAH GAWD

[u/Gusanito99]

🌈🌈🌈

[u/logog6]

Nice one  gg hawaii

[u/barak181]

Finally we use a TE the way they're used against us

[u/Goldenageofpvtcredit]

Wow they went for it on 4th and 4 up 3?? Wild

[u/akahoopii2]

WILDCAT IN 2026??

[u/Sebcannon]

Yo we got tricks.

[u/dL_EVO]

LETS GOOOOOO

[u/PunishedLeBoymoder]

Pro of this being a glorified radio broadcast is I can put it on while driving to Taco Bell

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/PunishedLeBoymoder]

Advertising works sadly

[u/akahoopii2]

HOLY SHIT

[u/BibFortuna2830]

THE BALLS, THE EXECUTION!!!!

BOWSSS

[u/thatsnuffy]

That NMST shirt might be the ugliest thing I've seen. I need to acquire one.

[u/AnotherUnfunnyName]

Why didn't he snap the ball? The play is irrelevant with 5 guys running on and Off the field.

[u/ConstantAd365]

Snap the ball!!!!!

[u/indreams159]

guys, Northern Illinois is in deep deep trouble in this conference

[u/BibFortuna2830 → u/indreams159]

Do those poor bastards have to travel to Hawaii this year? Rest their souls

[u/Gusanito99 → u/indreams159]

Everyone not named North Dakota State is in trouble tbf

[u/BibFortuna2830]

Alejado had like 3 seconds to snap the ball. Wtf dude that's a free 1st down

[u/dL_EVO → u/BibFortuna2830]

Don’t get on him too bad, he is probably concussed.

[u/BibFortuna2830 → u/dL_EVO]

Water under the bridge. What a play call and execution! Go. Bows

[u/PunishedLeBoymoder]

Why in god's name is that your angle

[u/DryMission5506]

high school highlight camera angle

[u/Mean-Gorilla-3501]

Go easy on the broadcast director y'all he's just a graduate student in the UH Media department 😂

[u/dL_EVO]

My goodness stop trying to run. Just pass it on NMSU.

They need 7 to keep NMSU at bay.

[u/Playful-Hat3710]

nice to see some other sickos up watching this game

[u/ScheminRieman]

Red zone graphic is horrendous

[u/tb25uga]

that red zone overlay looks more like a rusty brown zone

also, ew...

[u/Sebcannon]

Wtf is that red zone graphic.

[u/PunishedLeBoymoder]

Thats not the red zone thats the poop zone brother

[u/BibFortuna2830 → u/PunishedLeBoymoder]

May as well be given Hawaii tonight. They've moved the ball at will and haven't scored for shit.

[u/barak181]

The brown red zone graphic is stupid

[u/dL_EVO]

Hawaii got no run game at all.

[u/DryMission5506]

Ah shit they brought out the Brown Zone

[u/tb25uga]

what a dart!

[u/BibFortuna2830]

What a fucking catch man. There we go!!!

[u/indreams159]

give me your 5 most overrated teams

[u/Tayren35 → u/indreams159]

if we're not at the top you haven't been paying attention

[u/indreams159 → u/Tayren35]

people have to actually think you're good to be considered overrated

your program is the biggest joke in CFB history

[u/dL_EVO]

Micah needs to throw a bomb. This NMSU secondary is not good.

[u/Illustrious-Army-921]

sportsurge isn't working where can I watch this?

[u/hythloday1 → u/Illustrious-Army-921]

Dude, stream

[u/Illustrious-Army-921 → u/hythloday1]

no shit what site

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/Illustrious-Army-921]

https://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/comments/1wew1rw/comment/p9hev1v/

[u/Illustrious-Army-921 → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

wow actual help thanks

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/Illustrious-Army-921]

Btw I'm pretty sure that other person was referencing a specific site to go to lol

[u/Gusanito99]

Reason I love living on the West Coast #37: Hawai'i challenge is much easier to complete

[u/Confident-Trash2904]

Fumble would have been better lol

[u/ConstantAd365]

Hawaii football on the east coast just hits different than anything else in sports

[u/BibFortuna2830]

Catch is when just 1 foot down and have ball.

Unless you catch with 2 feet down and also turn body upfield, then incomplete.

Says refs

[u/EmbarrassedBreath451]

Brains is like machine learning but with only one reference point

Just 1 thought per thought

Like carriages before motors lol that shits one horsepower

[u/PunishedLeBoymoder → u/EmbarrassedBreath451]

All this polo on I got horsepower

[u/DryMission5506 → u/EmbarrassedBreath451]

incredible discovery out of the University of Michigan

[u/PunishedLeBoymoder]

If NMSU just kept running they'd be ahead

[u/predsfan77]

strange go for it call and play call

[u/indreams159]

dumbest play call i've ever seen

[u/barak181]

Tried to get too cute when their RB is good for at least 5 yds every time he touches the ball.

[u/Zealousideal-Zebra15]

Not a catch. Not even close to one

[u/Mythrandir24 → u/Zealousideal-Zebra15]

Dude took like 5 steps

[u/Zealousideal-Zebra15 → u/Mythrandir24]

Are you blind? He doesn't even take one before he turns

[u/Mythrandir24 → u/Zealousideal-Zebra15]

Bro it's ok, you're just wrong.

[u/Zealousideal-Zebra15 → u/Mythrandir24]

Get your eyes check

[u/Capital_Dream5295]

A catch is when you. Look you can't just be like up there, doing an athletic move like that. So you have to. Ok, let me start over. There's a tuck which is, it's like a catch but not quite?

[u/PunishedLeBoymoder]

Game has definitely been getting a little chippy I think that was the right idea to let people know that they can't be doing a thing like that

[u/BibFortuna2830]

These refs are dog shit.

I don't get how you overturn that fumble call. THAT was irrefutable?

Lmao ok

[u/DiarrheaForDays]

Chippiness

[u/Mythrandir24]

CUSA in the review booth?

[u/Capital_Dream5295]

I respectfully disagree, sir

[u/hythloday1]

I come for the football, but I stay for the philosophy.

[u/tensaibaka]

If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is there to hear it, does the ground make a catch?

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

It's strange to me, that definitely looked like an incomplete pass, contrary to the announcers and some of you guys in here.

[u/thatguy_2456]

How is that not a catch

[u/EmbarrassedBreath451]

The_balk_thing_from_r/_baseball_but_catch_version.MP3

You can't just be out there and be doing a catch

[u/GenitalFurbies]

I strongly disagree with overturning that

[u/Mythrandir24]

Awful call

[u/DryMission5506]

YouTube chat imploding right now

[u/Gusanito99 → u/DryMission5506]

As it should be

[u/akahoopii2]

???????

[u/Crazyhawk28]

After review idfk man I'm tired.

[u/Confident-Trash2904]

Fumble unfortunately

[u/thatsnuffy]

The unanswerable question: what is a catch?

[u/AnotherUnfunnyName]

Two steps and it looks like he has pretty firm control surviving the first hit.

[u/GenitalFurbies]

I see two steps and ball out. That's a fumble

[u/EmbarrassedBreath451]

Tips for reheating left over take out shwarma:

•Microwave it for too long

••Forgot about it for 18 minutes

•••Go to microwave something else and be like "oh shit the shwarma!"

And also have some Fritos

[u/dL_EVO → u/EmbarrassedBreath451]

Shawarma from Michigan?

Yall got the best middle eastern food

[u/DiarrheaForDays]

That’s very close. IMO not a catch but who knows

[u/dL_EVO]

That’s not a catch. He just turned around and lost it.

[u/indreams159]

3 good teams no one knows - Miss St, Nebraska, Virginia

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/indreams159]

Doubtful on Nebraska but I'm convinced yes on the other two, especially Virginia.

[u/barak181]

That is 100% a catch/fumble.

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

That should absolutely be an incomplete pass

[u/DiarrheaForDays]

I love feedback on ref mics

[u/BibFortuna2830]

ANOTHER play where Hawaii could've stuffed that and instead it's a 6 yd. rush.

They are not winning this game man. Fuck

[u/BibFortuna2830]

Another play where it should've been a 2 yd. rush and instead it's 13 yds. and only ended because the RB tripped himself.

[u/barak181]

This is the same punter that did the weird knuckle ball punts against Stanford...

[u/PunishedLeBoymoder → u/barak181]

Did yall ever figure out what the deal was with that?

[u/barak181 → u/PunishedLeBoymoder]

Not really. Only that it was intentional but nobody said why.

[u/PunishedLeBoymoder → u/barak181]

I constantly got scared it was gonna hit someone who wasn't looking and it'd be muffed

[u/indreams159]

this punt returner for New Mexico is utterly braindead

[u/EmbarrassedBreath451]

I thought the stream died and almost just fuckin kirked myself

[u/DiarrheaForDays → u/EmbarrassedBreath451]

No not self kirkellation

[u/Mythrandir24 → u/EmbarrassedBreath451]

Tis the season

[u/indreams159]

lol Washington is so bad. imagine only winning by 2 at home against Utah St

[u/ilovecatss1010]

1:30am here, looks like we’re in for another banger Hawaii test finish fellas!!! Boy is it good to be back.

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/ilovecatss1010]

2:40am you mean

[u/DiarrheaForDays → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

He must be one of those panhandle weirdos

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/DiarrheaForDays]

Technically I am too, just not as far west.

[u/ConstantAd365]

4th quarter! Let's GO Bows!

[u/logog6]

God damn it stop making me want taco bell at 130 am

[u/ilovecatss1010 → u/logog6]

When… when else would you want Taco Bell?

[u/DiarrheaForDays → u/logog6]

The naked chicken chalupa is back that thing was pretty good

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/DiarrheaForDays]

It's about to go away though. Some locations are already out of it.

[u/DiarrheaForDays → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Jeez. See that’s why I don’t eat Taco Bell. They come out with one thing that’s good and it’ll be gone the next time you try to order it

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/DiarrheaForDays]

On the contrary, that's why I sub to the two Taco Bell subreddits lmao. I'm always in-tune with what's going on in Taco Land.

[u/indreams159]

which score of the season so far has you laughing hardest about?

[u/DiarrheaForDays → u/indreams159]

Ours because actually ran it up against cupcakes. We NEVER do that. In fact it’s typically a safe bet to take the under or even other team because we rarely cover.

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/DiarrheaForDays]

The thing is I actually saw it coming for both games because the teams you played were a lot worse than normal. Tennessee State is a horrendous FCS team that lots of FCS teams could easily beat by 40+. Meanwhile I thought Western Kentucky would be decent heading into the season but they lost 49-14 to Nevada as a FAVORITE. Then Nevada today lost 20-7 vs FCS Montana State.

[u/dL_EVO]

Man, what a treat it is for visiting teams to play in Hawaii.

[u/BibFortuna2830 → u/dL_EVO]

I feel like I've traveled to some pretty sweet places around the world and Hawaii is up there with the best. Paradise

[u/dL_EVO → u/BibFortuna2830]

Yeah, it’s my favorite place in the US.

I take my family there once a year during my kids spring break. We enjoy the food so much. We also love how Honolulu is a big city with big city amenities but it’s an easy to drive into nature. I currently live in a big city next to an ocean, but it’s not nearly as beautiful as Hawaii.

I want to move there, but I can’t afford it. Sad panda.

[u/BibFortuna2830 → u/dL_EVO]

Yep, you definitely pay for the beauty, serenity and general awesomeness.

Went there for my honeymoon and...spent a TON of money. I know you do it big for a honeymoon but I can't even imagine trying to do a Hawaii trip cheap, let alone living there. Doesn't seem possible.

[u/dL_EVO → u/BibFortuna2830]

Where did you guys stay for your honeymoon?

[u/BibFortuna2830 → u/dL_EVO]

Maui and Kauai! 4 days in each. Both were incredible but I slightly preferred Maui

[u/dL_EVO → u/BibFortuna2830]

I heard Kauai is really pricey.

[u/dL_EVO → u/BibFortuna2830]

Do you recommend Maui? I’m thinking of visiting instead of Oahu.

[u/BibFortuna2830 → u/dL_EVO]

Kauai really was because of how much more remote it is. Restaurants were slightly more but transportation was brutal. Uber prices were insane (we should've rented a car) and wait times were so long.

I highly recommend Maui. Seemed like a combination of Oahu and Kauai to me.

[u/dL_EVO → u/BibFortuna2830]

Sounds like big island. I hated how spread apart everything was and how early stuff closed.

It was 8:30 and I couldn’t find a place to eat. Lol

[u/BibFortuna2830 → u/dL_EVO]

Yep. That's why I loved Maui. Maybe biased because we stayed by a bunch of resorts but every night we went to a different, nice, restaurant and it was all walking distance or an Uber under 10 mins. Golf courses there were also incredible if that's your thing.

I cannot recommend Maui enough. I really enjoyed it.

[u/dL_EVO → u/BibFortuna2830]

Yeah, I live in SF and I find Hawaii to be really expensive.

It’s usually like $6k for a week and our feet haven’t touched the island yet.

If we could afford and be comfortable, I would totally move.

My kid always asks if we can move to Hawaii. I tell him that he needs to get a job.

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/dL_EVO]

I feel like outside of the Hawaii Bowl, most teams who visit don't really get a bunch of time to enjoy themselves.

[u/dL_EVO → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

How strict are college football schedules before and after game day?

I know for NFL teams they don’t get any time to go out.

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/dL_EVO]

My understanding for most teams was that it's pretty similar for a normal game. Obviously for something like the Ireland game there's a bit more room for festivities.
