It won’t last, but news of Hawaii these days is all about Warrior football, and it’s likely to stay that way until January 1, 2008 when Hawaii beats Georgia in the Sugar Bowl.
Google “hawaii news” to see how much the news is dominated by the University of Hawaii’s football Warriors, quarterback Colt Brennan, and head coach June Jones.
Dozens of headlines in publications all over the country tout the underdog status of the Warriors, Brennan, and Jones. The New York Times, ESPN, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Philadelphia Daily Neews, Fox News, Sporting News, even the International Herald Tribune in France all carry the amazing Hawaii story.
When will it end? Soon. Win or lose, Hawaii’s top story for 2007 (and the first day of 2008) will be the Warriors of the University of Hawaii, the only major college football team with a perfect record.
What will Hawaii’s news be after the Warriors fall off the front page headlines? It will be back to the usual assortment of daily news– weather, tourism, traffic, politics, education, and crime.
