you guys are getting old !ubercow wrote:i'd go with those 3 football games as my top 3, in the order fresno -> byu rolo -> byu detmer. maybe I'll give that miami-ohio game with rolo/roethlisberger battle an honorable mention.. it was surreal how both offenses were unstoppable in that game.
i'll throw this in. mens basketball: both last second shots to win by UH over byu (ruffin / whitlock), UH over #2 kansas: rainbow classic.

Re: Best all time win?
wow, 12 year old post. the recent UH's win over cal probably pushes several things down my list.
Re: Best all time win?
If UH could have pulled off the win against Notre Dame in 1991 that would have been the biggest win for me.

Beating Fresno St at home with Nate Jackson with the sack and fumble of Carr.
Chad Owens running crazy in national TV in win over BYU.
Pisa stopping BYU quarterback on goal line breaking his ribs.
And I don't recall which game but Ulbrich (linebacker) exhorting his teammates on the sideline late in game "Do NOT Quit!"

Re: Best all time win?
The wins against NFL quarterbacks are memorable. But, I forgot how much offense there was in the Ohio game.

I was at that game. The stadium was so loud and shaking I thought it was going to crumble.just2bg wrote:How about the 1988 Hawaii vs Iowa game.Hekoti Fakava could not be stoped.
But one of my favorite games was a loss to Oklahoma.
Not doubting, not hating, not loving, just hoping because I am a fan.

Re: best all time
Don't you mean Oklahoma State (1995: 24-20 loss)? The last time Hawaii played Oklahoma was in 1983, a 21-17 loss.RedZone wrote:But one of my favorite games was a loss to Oklahoma.

Re: Best all time win?
This reminds me of the games at Aloha Stadium where the newspaper clippings would rain down from the grandstands like a ticker tape parade. To this day, this was one of the most beautiful things I ever saw, in a packed stadium and the marchig band playing. I was a kid then and a college student later throwing toilet paper rolls and the like. The games were fun.
On occasion I was so proud of the trash swirling on the field that I hoped my trash would trip the opposing player ball carrier. Maybe in my dreams it did.
Hope some old traditions return.

You could tell we were winning by the amount of confetti on the ground
