I definitely miss it from time to time. I went to most of the UH home games last year but it doesn't compare to Big Ten football. The problem is, our games don't sell out and there isn't the great student support for the team because UH is mostly a commuter school. On the bright side, you don't need 8 layers and we play a lot of night games but then again, Hawaii uses 4 or 5 receiver sets mostly and with all the incomplete passes, games can go LATE in the night.

I forgot that UH and MSU actually have that arrangement. I know UH and Northwestern are supposed to play, too. Should be interesting. June Jones runs a high octane offense and it should be a shootout.

You didn't throw that last bit in there to remind me of how the Spartans broke that Illini home winning streak did, you? The best atmosphere for a college basketball game I ever attended was at Assembly Hall in 2001 for the Illini/MSU game. I believe both teams were ranked in the top 5 and it was later the Sportscenter Showcase for that night. Just had to throw that in there.
