The University of Hawaii Warriors have one of the proudest football traditions in the nation. The Warriors compete in the Mountain West Conference against some of the Western United States best college football programs. The last two decades have seen an unprecedented rise in success for the Warriors including a 12-0 regular season in 2007 that earned Hawaii a trip to the Sugar Bowl. The Warriors have been to over twice as many bowl games since 2001 then they had previously, and have been one of the most dangerous teams in the West.
