Is there a particular reason y'all still keep calling Hawaii the "Rainbow Warriors" since they changed the name a few years ago?
Our Predictor beat Sagarin on the Hawaii game. With a 2.5 home advantage it saw Hawaii by 4, so you would go with Nevada and the points, and Nevada covered.
Year2, I'm old fashioned. Eastern Michugan is still the Hurons to me. Why does it bother you so much?
